The engineers at Dispatch were so impressed with the Vista, they subsequently purchased the fully tour equipped version, the Vista 5 SR. Olivier Crognennec, Dispatch sound engineer, commented on the Studer Vista 5 SR acquisition, "We were searching for a competitively priced, high-end digital console to update our audio capabilities and the Vista 5 SR was head and shoulders above the rest. The quality of sound is amazing, the engineers of Dispatch made an excellent choice with this console."
On the Mylène Farmer tour, Stéphane Plisson took full advantage of the Vista 5's versatile static automation, so that the rehearsed framework of the show could be run from the cue list, whilst having the freedom to tweak any parameter to accomplish a perfect sounding show from one night to the next, adapting to every venue's characteristic.
