Three Danish sound production companies have invested in four Yamaha Rivage PM7 mixing systems in preparation for the summer festival season.
The first of these, Odense-based Dansk Lyd og Lys (Danish Sound and Light), has provided sales, dry hire and full production services to high-profile national/international performers and corporate clients the country’s music and entertainment market for 45 years. The Rivage PM7 fits the company’s mission to go beyond its customer’s expectations, delivering the facilities of the flagship Rivage PM10 system in a relatively compact, highly portable system.
‘We have been using Yamaha digital mixers since the LS9 and M7CL, through to the CL and QL series,’ says Dansk Lyd og Lys CEO and partner Kristian Kühnel. ‘We have been doing a lot of opera, theatre, symphonic music and musicals in recent last years and we look forward to integrating the Rivage PM7 into the heart of these productions.’
Three further Rivage PM7 systems are due for delivery imminently – two to Unico Gruppen and another to PD Productions. Vejen-based Unico Gruppen’s main business is rental and dry hire, as well as designing and installing fixed installations. ‘Our rental department specialises in audio, but we also supply and manage complete productions,’ says the company’s Michael Henriksen. ‘We do not want to be the biggest but we believe two Rivage PM7 systems will make a big difference to our clients.’
Established in 1998, Copenhagen-based PD Productions specialises in complete production packages, with a primary focus on the corporate market. In addition, it has a growing business in selling solutions for concert halls, educational facilities and other public venues, as well as the private sector.
‘For more than ten years, we have chosen to use Yamaha’s digital mixing desks because of their ease of use, sound quality and stability,’ says company MD, Michael Frederiksen. ‘For us it was a very easy decision to invest in the Rivage PM7 with Rio3224-D2 I/O units. It fits perfectly into our existing stock of Yamaha CL and QL mixing consoles, while offering the extra technical facilities that make the Rivage family such an attractive proposition.’
