This is the first year that Pro Sound Web/Live Sound and Audio Pro International have hosted awards, with both organisations inviting their readership to vote for their favourite products.
"We are honoured to win in both the Pro Sound Web/Live Sound Reader's Choice Award and the WFX New Product Awards," says Matt Larson, national sales manager at Group One, DiGiCo's US distributor. "These are prestigious awards in the live sound and House of Worship markets and the industry as a whole. The SD8, with the new Overdrive software, has elevated it to be the professional's choice, but it's also easy enough to operate that a volunteer - who is often the person operating a console in a House of Worship - can mix on it with ease."
"The addition of the Audio Pro Award for best new live sound product to these prestigious awards is confirmation that we are developing products to meet the market's demands," adds DiGiCo's managing director, James Gordon. "We've always listened to the feedback from our users and taken it onboard and I'm delighted the team effort has been recognised in this way."
