Australian Psychedelic Trio Tame Impala Grooves With DiGiCo

A road-cased SD11 and D Rack fit perfectly within the band's trailer allowing for full FOH control on mid-size US venue tour

Australian psychedelic hypno-groove melodic 5-piece – Tame Impala will traverse the U.S. through June in support of last year’s Lonerism release.

Wanting to carry his own desk for the tour, the band’s new FOH engineer Parker had the challenge of sourcing a compact console that would fit within their adjunct trailer, alongside the group’s gear.

After surveying the options, he chose a road-ready SD11 in a flight case plus a DiGiCo D rack (32 x 16) with a 75M CAT5e cable housed in an additional Pelican case for the job.

Not only did the SD11’s size fit the bill perfectly, but additionally the console was able to sit atop the venue’s house console without having to alter the existing setup within the venue’s FOH areas.
