Uncertain of which of DiGiCo’s range of digital mixing consoles would best suit his Victory Tour Production operation in Denmark, or two, Jesper Sørensen’s simple solution to his dilemma was to order one of each – an SD7, SD8, SD9, SD10 and SD11.
Having agreed the order with Soundware Pro Audio Manager, he had a change of heart, however. His solution this time was to add another SD7, an SD rack, plus Optocore and Waves options for most of the consoles.
Two of the new consoles were immediately put to work by the tour supplier on a two-month tour by Tim Christensen and the Damn Crystals, promoting their eponymous 2011 album. For this, front of house engineer Paul Hammann opted for an SD7 with Waves and Optocore options, while monitor engineer Daniel Devantier went for the SD10, also with Waves and Optocore. Both were running at 96kHz resolution on a shared SD-Rack.
‘I wasn’t surprised that Jesper wanted to invest in more DiGiCos as he has been using the consoles for some time and I know how much he values them,’ Johansen says. ‘However, even I was surprised when he gave me the order. It just goes to prove that every console in the DiGiCo SD range is in demand in the Danish market.’
