Front of House engineer Luis Irizzary first worked with the band back in 2007 and 2008, and having returned to the Calle 13 fold in 2012, he has been working with the band since. His reasons for using the SD8-24 are two-fold: the channel count, "I use 58 mic inputs on 52 channels at Front of House, but the console is still not maxed out," he says; and its compact size.
"The Front of House and monitor console share one rack," Luis explains. "This means that we get the same great audio quality at both positions and only having one stage rack makes the system very compact and easy to transport."
