This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Last time around, I talked about how input lists can make stage set up easier (here). Today, I’ll move out of the office and on to the stage. Optimize Stage Cabling Sometimes, I’m appalled by the cabling I see on church stages. There I said it.

In these financially difficult times, maximizing the potential of facilities has become a key issue for the education sector. At the same time as delivering high quality education in line with modern expectations, schools need to ensure that their facilities generate their own revenue. These are the reasons why one Australian primary school has invested in DiGiCo, opening up a new market for the console manufacturer. Helensvale Primary, located on Queensland’s Gold Coast, recently finished a new performing arts centre,…

Having continued successful permanent productions in Chicago and New York, the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet (MDQ) has hit the road with a North American tour.

In 2011, the Royal Shakespeare Company installed a DiGiCo SD7 console in the refurbished Swan Theatre, Stratford upon Avon. It proved to be such a success that when the Company needed an additional mixer for its touring shows and West End transfers, they chose another DiGiCo board – this time the SD9. “We have a long relationship with DiGiCo and needed a console to transfer shows that currently exist on an SD7, but would be playing in smaller venues,” says…

Both scenarios lead to the use of direct (or DI) boxes as an alternative. But note that when selecting a direct…
