Set in the heart of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, the Ruote da Sogno in Reggio Emilia is home to a car dealer is famed for its collection of classic cars and motorcycles. When the showroom was looking to begin hosting events, venue Technical Manager Marco Gianferrari chose two S31 consoles with a DQ-Rack each.
The new events space occupies 10,000sq-m with flexible divisions to offer the greatest range of possibilities for clients. A Dante network links all areas of the space, with the DQ-Racks for flexibleconnectivity. Each rack is a 6U-high unit, with dual redundant power supplies and DMI-Dante, which provides the power of a larger rack in a more compact package. Each rack offers 48 mic inputs and 24 line outputs, with the final four being switchable between stereo AES/EBU outputs and line outputs, offering a possible eight AES/EBU outputs in total.
The space is used for a wide variety of events, from fashion runways to product launches and even weddings and parties, the flexible networking options for the DiGiCo S31 set-up means that it is able to accommodate any requests, from recordings via the UB-Madi card, to facilitating additional external equipment.
‘It was important to retain the elements of choice and flexibility,’ Gianferrari says. ‘The customisation of the mixing surface and the processing power of the S31, alongside the guaranteed audio quality of the DiGiCo brand are fundamental characteristics that ensured that our only choice for the multiplicity of events managed here was a DiGiCo console.’
