Autograph Sound Recording has taken digital technology very seriously for many years, working closely with many audio manufacturers, especially mixing console developers. Because of the prestigious and highly specialized theatre productions the company is renowned for, the Autograph team had opted to wait for the right digital console to be developed before committing to embracing digital mixing.
Autograph Sound Recording’s managing director Terry Jardine commented: "It was only at the PLASA show in September that we were presented with the innovative DiGiCo D5 Live console. It now makes us feel confident to enter the multi-channel digital desk market, as it is undoubtedly the direction modern theatre productions are taking us. This desk looks to have all the intuitive and innovative facets we have been looking for in this kind of mixer. Add all that to impeccable sound quality and it is easy to see why we have taken this important step forward."
DiGiCo’s managing director Bob Doyle said: "To win the endorsement of Autograph Sound Recording in the shape of their first order for a digital console is a great testimony to the D5 Live and we look forward to Autograph’s close involvement in the further development of the D5 platform."
The news follows the recent sale of two DiGiCo D5 Live consoles to London-based Orbital Sound, and another to Sound Hire.
