Both Maxwell and Scott's monitor needs are in the hands of a DiGiCo SD7, provisioned by Clair Global. For Maxwell's Clay Hutson - who has employed DiGiCo consoles extensively on tours with artists such as Garbage, Marilyn Manson, Pink, Prince and Velvet Revolver - this was his first opportunity to lay hands on SD7. For Jim Roach, who has worked with Scott for 3+ years, as well as Brian McKnight Joe Cocker, Keisha Cole and Boney James, his previous experience on DiGiCo consoles was limited to one-off, fl
Sound design was as usual the responsibility of Bobby Aitken, who consulted with Robin Whittaker of TiMax developers Out Board on how to appropriately scale up their Royal Albert Hall distributed source-oriented reinforcement concept.

The small town of Tridentine in northern Italy hosted a big international event in which many ski champions - such as Bode Miller and Davide Simoncelli - challenged each other to a ski-show, captured by many international TV stations.
Proceedings concluded with a performance by Placebo at the Concert Stadium, built on the Olympic slopes.
The finish area was powered with 16 Proel Axiom AX3210P, 16 Sub Edge 121SP, six Powersoft K10 digital amplifiers and two DSO480 digital processors.
For the sound inside the big structure built at the end of the ski run, they relied on eight Axiom 2265P, eight AX1115SP, two fly bar, three Powersoft K4 digitaql amplifiers and one DSO480 digital processor.
Nancy Diaz-Curiel, channel sales manager APAC Digigram comments, "PAS was an obvious choice since their market coverage pretty much matches Digigram's core businesses." Diaz-Curiel also noted that the newly appointed distributor will be able to provide Digigram's customers with valuable expertise since at PAS "each business area is supported by a dedicated team of sales engineers, support personnel and a motivated management team".
"We felt that Digigram's very innovative products, be it state-of-the-art sound cards or advanced IP audio codecs such as the IQOYA range, would be a perfect fit in our product portfolio.

China is expecting to receive almost 100 foreign leaders and up to 70m people from across the globe to visit the Expo.

Over 2,300 Electro-Voice and Dynacord loudspeakers and a variety of EV REV-D wireless microphone systems have been installed in the s
"Eliminating the mixing console frees up a significant amount of floor space, and that can be the difference in getting the gig, whether it's a club, theatre or ballroom," says James Duvall of Creative Engineering & Solutions in Austin, Texas, who manages the house and monitor mixes for the band. "It saved us a lot of money, too."
The iDR-32 MixRack provides all the inputs, outputs, processing and routing for the band.
"I love the fact that the iDR-32 gives me all those features in a rack-mount box that I can hide under the stage. I don't carry any outboard gear at all, and there's no sacrifice in functionality. When I was designing the system, I figured, why

Abbey Road Studios engineer Jonathan Allen, who undertook test recordings with the AX24 before Abbey Road purchased the units, comments, "For the last few years, the Abbey Road Mobile Recording unit has been looking to create affordable recording and editing packages without compromising on quality. Key to this was our search for a unit which had world-class digital converters, great built-in mic amps and the ability to run MADI back to the control room. The DAD AX24 not only ticked these boxes but made one of the best arguments for working at higher sampling frequencies."

"As we already use the Vi6 on our tours, it was really easy for me to use the Vi1 and its Widescreen Vistonics interface right away," Bars said. "The integrated I/O on the desk meant we could quickly swap it out for the existing house console, and I could just download my usual show file from the Vi6 on my USB key, with minimal adjustments."
Bars used 24 inputs plus four FX for the gig, and the Vi1 easily met all his demands. "I had to just tell everybody that the Vi6 has had a baby." reported Bars to Andy Brown, head of digital console strategy at Soundcraft Studer, who worked with Bars on the night.
The Vi1 has many of the fun

Or maybe because it is also a solution in the Pro2Car area, customized professional components for installation in prestigious acoustic systems within certain cars, we are confident of this product's appeal."
