As a member of a well established Lancashire Showman's dynasty, David has long been an OHM user and an advocate of good fairground sound. Recently handling over the day to day running of his rides to his son David Junior, David has started promoting OHM around the fairgrounds in the UK.

"In the 20-plus years I've used Beyer mics, I've always been impressed with the sonic quality," states Hansen. "These mics sound like studio mics onstage. I don't want hyped midrange or narrowed spectrum to assist in feedback rejection, I want to hear what I'm putting out, and Beyer does that in a big, warm way. I sing a demanding range of music, and I'm very particular about what I need to hear, so I choose Beyer, every time."

In 2000, TSO created two separate touring groups-TSO East and TSO West-to allow the band to cover more ground, and they've maintained that format ever since. Last year, as the band was clearly maxing out their monitor board, the conversation got the ball rolling to implement DiGiCo SD7s for both touring outfits. They previously toured with D5's on monitors and the change to SD7s gave the production what they needed. It quickly became an integral part of TSO's live sound.
"I prompted the discussion early on last year for the SD7 primarily because the biggest handicap for us was the amount of outputs our show
