The event will take place in North London, at Camden nightclub and live venue Koko, and will behosted by Soundcraft technical staff and Rob Hughes, an experienced Vi6 user from UK hire company SSE Audio, who were one of the first companies to order the Vi6 following the console's launch in 2006. SSE now own several of the desks, and they are in constant use.
Two training sessions will be held on the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each catering for up to 10 engineers. At each session, following an initial technical presentation, the 10 will be divided into two groups of five, each with access to their own Vi6, so that every attendee is assured of some properly supervised hands-on time with the console. "What better way to become more familiar with the Vi6 than in a session in a real live venue, under the hands-on guidance of an experienced user and Soundcraft's own engineers?" says Amanda Chester, marketing manager of Harman Pro UK. "We hope this will be the first of many free Vi6 training days to come."
