Sound Stylists invests in SA’s first DiGiCo SD7
- Details
The investment, which is the first of its kind in the country, complements the company’s existing DiGiCo inventory comprising two D5s, two SD8s, an SD10, and two S21s plus associated racks and accessories. SD7 training will be offered in the near future, says the company.
Kevin Glover, owner of Sound Stylists, comments: “The South African market is maturing and getting bigger. There were several international artists that we serviced with our SD10 last year, however, a number of them were looking for SD7s so essentially, we are answering that call. In addition, we also needed extra SD Racks and having the 32-Bit Mic Preamp cards also increases their desirability.”
Kyle Robson of DWR Distribution, DiGiCo distributor in Africa, adds: “To meet the requirements of international acts, we were hiring in an SD7, often from Dubai. The SD7 is still one of the most popular consoles on the market, mainly because of its dual engines. It’s like having two consoles in one, which offers the redundancy that engineers like; they have the assurance that should one, for some reason, fail, the other will kick in, which gives real peace of mind. Other benefits include having high channel counts, more faders, more screens and a bucket load of outputs.”
