Already one of the city’s most iconic buildings, The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD), which opened in September, features a cutting-edge technical specification. Designed to ensure that the venue is both highly flexible and will stay bang up-to-date for many years to come, key components for achieving both aims are four DiGiCo SD series mixing consoles.
Costing €380m, The CCD is Ireland’s first purpose-built convention centre. It features 22 multi-functional spaces and can host up to 8,000 people at a time.

Soaring 610m above the Chinese city of Guangzhou, the Canton Tower is the world’s third tallest building and has a unique, waisted design that has got architects across the world talking. Officially inaugurated on 29th September, the tower’s grand opening ceremony featured two DiGiCo mixing consoles.
Variously referred to as Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower, Xiao Man’s Waist and Supermodel, the tower’s design was realised by taking two horizontal, virtual ellipses - one at ground level and one at 450m - joining them by virtual uprights and then twisting the ellipses in opposite directions.

Celebrating nearly 80 years, the Calvary Church of Costa Mesa is a multi-facility campus with an actively growing membership of over 2500. In the early 2000's, many of Calvary's buildings were renovated, and in 2006, the Worship Center underwent a major remodel. Last year, facilities manager John Jackson began evaluating the audio system in the main worship center, making the decision to upgrade the console - and to make the leap from analog to digital. The DiGiCo digital consoles were high on his list, and Jackson added not only an SD8 and DiGiRack, but also a new SD9, sight-unseen, as well. The flexibility, and interchangeability between the two consoles has proved to be an added boon to the church’s main worship room, and outdoor event audio toolkit.

Beforehand, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium hosted Welcome To Wales, a glittering VIP dinner and live concert which showcased the country’s musical talent to the sporting visitors. Three DiGiCo D5 consoles ensured that the Welsh voices came through loud and clear.
The sound reinforcement demands of the event were complex, the Millennium Stadium being divided into two for the dinner and concert elements. Audio company Capital Sound was required to treat both the dinner and concert as separate entities which were effectively competing against one another.
