Multi-Media Event Trading adds DiGiCo
- Details
In March this year, sound engineer, Adriaan van der Walt joined the company, increasing the high standard of audio knowledge. More recently, the firm purchased two DiGiCo SD10 consoles from DWR Distribution, accompanied by two SD Racks on HMA Optics, Wave Servers, Orange Box and option cards, all of which are featured at The Voice, Nigeria.
Owning two SD10s definitely changes Multi-Media’s position in the market. “Traditionally there was only one house that stocked DiGiCo and the brand is now slowly starting to spread,” said Adriaan. “Having the SD10s puts us in a different league compared to a month ago, and the audio boys in the industry will look at our company in a new way.”
Kyle Robson from DWR comments, “I think it’s very exciting to actually see bigger consoles get onto the market and to see top end engineers using and loving them.”
Multi-Media’s SD10s are currently on The Voice, Nigeria. “DiGiCo is an amazing system because you can design it, lay it out, and work with it in a way that suits your train of thought,” said Adriaan. “On the run of The Voice, I completely re-ordered the layout of the console so that I wouldn’t be caught up in button presses to mix the show. I can mix the show in one state, and with a push of a button, the console populates the layout into the next state I need.
“I know where I am the entire show without having to try to find what I`m looking for. I find [it] rather impressive that I can achieve this over 36 faders especially being quite a complex show. That’s the beauty of a DiGiCo, it’s so configurable once you understand where to look for what you need. With help from Kyle Robson from DWR, it was possible to do that.”
