SI wrapped up its first tour with the new system on John Legend's North American theatre tour over the winter. "Touring with this show is a little more difficult because on a day to day basis the system has to be very versatile," comments Gary Sanguinet, SI's crew chief. "Everyone bends over backward to make it work because we see that this artist is going somewhere and we want to be there when he arrives."
"We feel that Sound Image and Adamson have a similar approach to the way that they treat their clients," says Jesse Adamson, Adamson Systems Engineering's, director of marketing and sales. "They are a service focused organisation and they do a great job. I had been talking to Dave about what Adamson and Sound Image could do together for quite a few years, and we're excited in the direction it has now taken. Sound Image has a solid team of creative people and they make our gear sound great when they put it out. And at the end of the day that is the best marketing available."
Sound Image president Dave Shadoan adds: "I was talking to someone the other day and they asked me: 'why did you buy that Adamson stuff?' I responded 'Jesse made me do it!' It's simple: we provide what our clients ask us for. There are some great mix engineers out there who ask us for Adamson, we just make sure they get what they want. And Adamson makes sure that we know who those people are."
