Soundcraft digital desks take control of the Doctor
UK - Adlib Audio supplied three Soundcraft Vi consoles to BBC Worldwide for the recent Doctor Who Live tour, which visited nine major UK arenas in October and November.

This action-packed stage version of the cult TV series stars a selection of classic and favourite Doctor Who monsters including The Daleks and Cybermen, with Nigel Planer as 'intergalactic showman' and archetypal baddie, Vorgenson.

The tour's 270 degree sound system was specified by XL Events' Rich Rowley, who was also instrumental in choosing Adlib to supply the kit. The sound company itself fielded a vastly experienced team, including Tony Szabo (systems engineer), Chris Leckie (FOH, on a Soundcraft Vi6), with Fergus Mount handling audio playback on a Soundcraft Vi1, and Marc Peers mixing monitors on a second Vi6. All desks were originally supplied by Sound Technology.

"There was no other console family on the market that would give us the interface and the footprint of the Soundcraft Vi series," said Rowley. "It's about having a range of compatible consoles that talk to each other on every level - and for me this solution ticked every box."
