Justin Bieber Brings Biebermania To The Masses With Audio Support From SD8-24The pop-culture teen phenom who is Justin Bieber is in the midst of a whirlwind US tour, playing cities across the continental U.S. and winning the hearts of American teens, tweens and parents alike. The "Biebermania" assault is one of the hottest tours on deck, and is literally sold out through the end of the year -pretty remarkable in the wake of declining ticket sales and mega tours calling it quits before they even commence. Back in February when tour preparations were in negotiations, monitor engineer Tony Luna staked his claim on a DiGiCo SD8-24, the lil’ sibling of the SD7 that Luna has mixed on with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and the next gen console replacing the D series consoles he had used previously with KISS and Aerosmith. The audio provisions for the tour were handled by production partner Clair Global. 
DiGiCo SD7 Impresses Norways Theatre SceneWith its origins dating back to the 1850s, Den Nationale Scene (DNS, or The National Theatre) is Norway's oldest permanent theatre. Now, however, with the installation of a DiGiCo SD7 mixing console, the venue has become a true 21st century facility. Located in Bergen, DNS puts on around 20 productions each year across its three stages, which include international and national classics, musicals, contemporary drama and family shows. One of three national theatres in Norway, it has a reputation for high quality productions and also bringing on new talent. 
SD8 Breaks Price And Feature Barrier That Addresses Gands Client NeedsGand Concert Sound of Glenview, Illinois recently added a DiGiCo SD8 - their first DiGiCo purchase - to their roster of digital consoles. Established in 1977, Gand Concert Sound was created to meet the growing demand for large-scale music performances on a regional level. Colleges and local festivals provided a jumping off point, and by the early ‘80s, GCS had expanded into facilitating national tours. Under the stewardship of senior engineer Gary Gand - a music industry veteran of 40+ years - GCS is regarded as one of the Midwest’s longest operating sound system providers. It was GCS Vice President Tim Swan who suggested the SD8 to Gand. “As you know, our industry is rider-centric,” he explained. “The market tells those of us who are willing to listen, what they want. 
Calvary Church Of Orland Park Illinois Purchases SD9 Console For New FacilityCalvary Church of Orland Park, Illinois is one of the first houses of worship to secure the new DiGiCo SD9 as its main console for a new worship facility currently under construction. In the meantime, the church operates in a temporary worship location at the Marcus Theaters in town. The SD9, along with d&b audiotechnik B2 and T10 loudspeaker components, will eventually be installed permanently in the new facility, slated to open in the summer of 2011. The console was purchased through Audio Logic Systems in Minneapolis, MN, who is also facilitating the design and install in the new church. When exploring the new SD9, the console allowed Calvary to stay in the digital realm, by offering DiGiCo’s quality and features in a price range that fit their budget. “In our old worship facility, we had replaced our installed system with a mobile system (anticipating our upcoming move) that included a Yamaha LS9-32,” said Reverend Dave Van Kley.
