DiGiCo D1 Live At Core Of Surround Live LI
For the second year a DiGiCo console was selected as the core of the sound system used during the event. The D1 Live, DiGiCo’s new mixing console launched at PLASA and LDI this year, was used to manage the extensive input and source routing needs of the presenters, totalling more than 100 channels of audio, and to provide delay.
All of the 20-plus live Shure microphone feeds were handled using the D1's internal dynamics, EQ and signal processing capabilities. The complex 10 channel output matrix feeding the Meyer Sound Labs supplied CQ based playback system was fed by the D1 through a TiMax processor.
Surround Live produced and created by Frederick Ampel of Technology Visions under the auspices of the Audio Engineering Society, chose the DiGiCo console because of its extensive capabilities, pure digital environment and flexibility to be reconfigured as needed during the all day event. On-site support for the D1 Live was provided by the company’s managing director, Bob Doyle.
“The symposium was extremely interesting and informative due to the quality and experience of the speakers and their different approaches both artistically and practically to surround sound,” comments Doyle. “To round it off, our new DiGiCo D1 Live console did the job extraordinarily well and made the whole event fun and educational.”
