Speed Audio's Juan Gabriel Fernandez and Miguel Guerra declare that the overriding factor for their investment is the SD8's purity of sound.
"It is an exceptional console and unique in the live sound arena," states Guerra. "The more we get to know the SD8, the more it fascinates us. It's really easy to use and has a lot of shortcuts that are a great help and give you the time to get the best out of the console. The ability to work offline is also very helpful."
The most recent outing for Speed Audio's SD8 was for Mexican artist Pepe Aguilar, in Mexico City's National Auditorium, where Juan Gabriel Fernandez utilised it for monitor duties, handling a total of 56 inputs and making use of facilities such as snapshots, multiband compression and the SD8's onboard FX.
"We're anticipating that DiGiCo consoles will become known here on a national level," conclude Fernandez and Guerra. "We're very much looking forward to the day when we see them specified on riders as the engineers' first choice."
