In Paris, Rik Hoerée and Laurent Laignel of DiGiCo's French distributor, Apex France, were on hand to collect the Most Innovative Product in the Live Industry trophy.
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, DiGiCo's marketing director David Webster accepted the award for Best Sound Product of the Year at LDI.
"The SD8 has been designed with a fixed architecture and employs a smaller Super FPGA than the SD7, but it still benefits from all the major features and versatility of the D Series, as well as the advances already made in the SD7," comments Webster.
"This gives a superlative performance to price ratio, which means we can offer an entry-level console, with remote pre amps, at a price point that has never been possible before. We feel this fulfils a real need within the market. The DiGiCo team is delighted to have this recognised with two such prestigious awards within such a short space of time."
