Director of Shine Systems and audio engineer for Welford stadium, Phil Taylor, explains, "The DL1608 is used to play music before/after the match and at half-time (both from the iPad and from a Macbook Air running Traktor), together with playing pre-recorded announcements and to control the match announcer microphones."
The large stadium is divided into 17 discrete zones and employs a robust wireless network that was suitable for the DL1608. "I was also able to walk round the ground during the pre-match build-up with just my iPad and adjust levels as required using the ground-wide wireless network." continued Taylor. "I would usually use a larger-format digital console for this, but I am confident that the DL1608 will have sufficient features and inputs - and it is certainly easier to carry."
