Fiesta is an annual four-day festival featuring over 30 acts, whilst the NYE Show was a free public event including fireworks and performances from international ABBA tribute band, Bjorn Again, and Sydney favourites, the John Fields Band. Fast changeover times between acts were critical, therefore Davidson Audio needed a digital mixer with the capability of recalling sound check settings quickly and accurately.
"Set up, sound checks, performances and changeovers were completely trouble-free and we were always ready well ahead of schedule," explains MD, Kevin Davidson. "Moreover, the shows sounded great. I really like the iLive concept of onstage processing with remote, networked, scalable control surfaces. The system sounds fantastic, transparent, with no digital harshness. Also, iLive's high quality onboard input channel processing, effects and output processing made external equipment unnecessary."
