Juilliard Arts Conservatory Chooses DiGiCo D5TThe Juilliard School is an internationally renowned performing arts conservatory located at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. In 2008, the school identified a number of areas to be built or renovated as part of a redevelopment project. One of those newly created spaces included the Rosemary and Meredith Willson Theater, a multi-use performance and event space. A DiGiCo D5T will serve as the central hub of the control room, connecting the theater with the Music Technology Program’s new recording room. Juilliard’s Chief Audio Engineer and veteran audio professional, Marc Waithe, specified a DiGiCo D5T system for the theatre. In his 17-year tenure at the school, Waithe designed all of the main performance audio systems, as well as systems for The Museum of Modern Art and The School of American Ballet as a freelance consultant. Altel Systems, a professional audio and video contractor based in New York State, engineered the electroacoustic systems for the new spaces at Juilliard, and installed all the equipment including the D5T.

Montreux Jazz Festival - What The Engineers Had To Say...Benoit Saillet "I’ve worked here for eight years now, doing different things in different places. This is the first year that DiGiCo has come into the venues and it works well. This is the first time I’ve used DiGiCo. We had one day of training. It was pretty short, but that shows it’s easy to work on this kind of desk.

Montreux Jazz Festival - What The Engineers Had To Say...Martin Mulberger "Yesterday evening we had three shows. It was the first time I’d done a live gig on this console. “I’m doing monitors as well as FOH. You just need half an hour to know what’s going on and how to work everything on the screen. It works really well and it’s quite easy to use.”
