DiGiCo has announced that it is joining the nationally recognized HOW-TO Church Sound Workshop 2010 Tour as the featured digital console sponsor.
DiGiCo’s newly launched SD9 console will be utilized in the hands-on training of house of worship sound techs and volunteers as the HOW-TO tour continues its travels throughout the nation, with workshops conducted by respected sound engineer, Mike Sokol.
DiGiCo has signed on for the second half of the 36-city tour, participating in 18 cities beginning in Lancaster, OH, on August 7th. Other dates include stops in Alabama, Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, among other states.
“You have to be very pleased any time a manufacturer of top-quality audio gear recognizes the value of the worship marketplace and believes in education strongly enough to support our national workshops,” said Hector La Torre, Managing Partner for Fits & Starts Productions and producer of the HOW-TO Church Sound Workshops.
“Folks across the country attending the HOW-TO Workshops are going to be thrilled to get their hands on the DiGiCo SD9 digital console.”
“I’ve known Hector since I started in this business and have the utmost respect for all the different things he’s done in his career,” said Jack Kelly, owner of Group One Ltd., U.S. distributor of DiGiCo.
“Becoming a sponsor of the HOW TO Sound Workshops on behalf of DiGiCo digital mixing systems was really a great opportunity to work with Hector, and of course, introduce our new SD9 console with Stealth digital technology to the HOW market.”
