DiGiCo SD7T Sets Sail On The Costa FavolosaWith a role that included AV consulting, theatre consulting, and project management for all entertainment systems on board Costa Cruise’s new flagship, the Costa Favolosa, Nautilus Entertainment of San Diego specified the systems shipwide, with a DiGiCo SD7T chosen for its impressive theatre. Following a three-day July vernissage cruise from Venice, the Costa Favolosa (114,500 gross tonnage and 3,800 total guests) began offering Eastern Mediterranean cruises, before being positioned in Dubai for 8-day Arabian Nights cruises in the UAE and Oman for the winter 2011/2012 season. 
Newly Launched Broadcast Consoles Plunge Into Xtreme Sports At X Games 17X Games has featured some of the world’s best and brightest athletes competing in extreme sporting events since 1995, broadcast around the globe on the ESPN network. Sixteen years later, the event is bigger and better than ever as witnessed at X Games 17 in Los Angeles this past July. It was the third time DiGiCo had a presence in the broadcast trucks at the Staples Center venue for Summer X, including previous appearances by an SD8 making its debut last summer and two SD8s holding forth at this year’s winter games in Aspen. For X17, DiGiCo showcased four of its newly-launched offerings for the 5.1 transmission: three SD10B broadcast-specific consoles in the hands of ESPN’s audio effects sub-mixers for Motocross, Big Air Ramp/Rally Car, and Street/Park Events, with an SD9 console for sub-mixing the international feeds. The three SD10B sub-mix consoles fed into a Calrec Alpha located in the NEP SS32 primary broadcast truck over fiber-optic cabling via MADI at 48kHz. Although it was the first experience on a DiGiCo work-surface for all of the mix operators, the experience was nothing short of rave-inducing from each. 
Love Never Dies Gets The Regency Touch With DiGiCoThe award-winning Australian production of Love Never Dies has enjoyed six successful months at Melbourne's Regent Theatre, giving a welcome boost to the sequel of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. Thanks to their extensive experience in professional theatre, Melbourne’s System Sound were asked to fulfil Mick Potter’s sound design, using their brand new DiGiCo SD7T and SD8 consoles. 
Minnesota Church Stays On Leading Edge Of Technology With Upgrade to 96K Optics Capable SD10Minnesota's Eagle Brook Church prides itself on staying at the leading edge of technology for its ever-evolving production and broadcast needs. In 2010, the thriving house of worship, which opened in late 2005 and accommodates over 2100 in stadium-style seating - retooled its overall technical infrastructure at its main Lino Lakes campus location, adding three DiGiCo SD8 consoles and DiGiRacks for FOH, monitors and video broadcast production. Flash-forward to the spring of 2011, and the audio team is at it again. Working closely with Audio Logic Systems, the latest upgrade set in motion swapped two of the SD8s at FoH and monitor world with one of DiGiCo’s newest 96k/2 gig optics -capable SD10B broadcast console loaded with the DiGiCo Waves SoundGrid plug-in bundle. They also added three SDRacks, one dedicated to the SD10 and the other two distributed within the facility. In turn, the two SD8s and DiGiRacks were migrated to the Spring Lake Park and Woodbury facilities. The changes at the main Lino Lakes campus had a ripple effect throughout, allowing all the Eagle Brook engineers at each facility to mix on similar DiGiCo platforms.

Inside This Issue
Crosby And Nash European Tour In Harmony With DiGiCo SD7For engineer Kevin Madigan, manning the FoH responsibilities for Crosby and Nash on tour this year has been nothing but sheer pleasure. The famed duo, who have been harmonizing ever since Crosby, Stills & Nash formed in 1968, have been touring the U.S. for the better part of the year, and are weaving their way through Europe this fall with highlights along the way including London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Olympia in Paris. Madigan’s well aware that the responsibility of representing the band’s iconic, shimmering harmonies accurately night after night lies squarely upon his shoulders. For that reason, and after almost a decade of mixing exclusively on a DiGiCo D1, D5, and SD8 Madigan felt the time was right to make the transition to an SD7 once rehearsals commenced for the overseas dates. “This is one of the best groups you could stand in front of night after night,” he mused. “Their songs are so legendary that it’s such a pleasure for me, and the show gets up and rocks, too, 
Dual DiGiCo SD10s propel Alison Krauss And Union Station's Paper Airplane TourThe nearly sold-out Alison Krauss & Union Station tour this year in support of the band’s new album, Paper Airplanes, is certainly proof-positive that they’ve never been more popular, bringing a tightly knit fusion of bluegrass and country to fans old and new. Though Alison’s award-winning 2007 collaboration with Robert Plant may have briefly elevated her stature to a whole new audience it’s abundantly clear that as a group they don’t need an A-list rocker to pack the house. Taking charge of the tour’s production is longtime audio frontman Cliff Miller of North Carolina’s SE Systems. Last summer, Miller put a pair of newly minted SD10 console through rigorous paces at the 2010 MerleFest, one of the country’s premier Americana and roots music festivals. With that experience being so positive and productive, Miller decided to entrust the Union Station tour to DiGiCo,
