"The D5 is my console of choice, I've been using DiGiCo for about five years and there's still no better digital console in my opinion," says Madigan. "I sometimes have to use other consoles on a one-off basis, but I always come back to my favourite because of its excellent sound quality and layout."
The tour is using a d&b J Line main system, with J-subs and B2s. Madigan sends left, right and sub outputs from the D5, from which sends for in, out and front fills are derived. All processing is done within the D5, except for Manley ELOP electro-optical limiters on vocal inserts and a Manley Variable Mu over the L-R outputs. "I don't have to use them, but I love them," says Madigan..
With venues ranging from theatres to arenas, sheds and open air festivals, the DiGiCo console is coping with a wide range of audience sizes.
