UK - Lighting designer Dave Byars used two Avolites Diamond 4 consoles for a recent show at The Eden Project with French band, Air. One was his touring console (he's been on the road with the band since the beginning of the year) while the second was supplied by Avolites to control illuminations specially installed to light the Eden Project's famous Biomes, which backed onto the stage.

For Air's performance, the Biomes were lit with a combination of James Thomas PixelPAR 90(A) architectural fixtures and Pixelline 1044 battens. The Biome D4 was operated by Fraser Elisha.

For the tour - a combination of own shows and festival slots, with lighting and sound production supplied by Entec - Byars needed a lightweight desk with compact dimensions that was easy to hoist up FOH festival towers. He also needed it to offer plenty of creative power, and found the D4 ideal from all perspectives.

Byars particularly praised the flexibility of the console's lay-out, and the fact that all faders can be used as playbacks, which means he never runs out of space or options. He also says that he finds the programming and playback functions even easier than on previous Avolites consoles.
