Burlesque Benefit Bares All For Charity With Support From A DiGiCo SD7Some of the hottest dancers in show business came together at New York’s world-famous Roseland Ballroom in June for “Broadway Bares”, a one-night sold-out extravaganza, which married the naughtiness of burlesque with the dazzle of Broadway. Originally conceived by Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, the event has raised over 5.5 million dollars for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS -the nation's leading non-profit AIDS fundraising organization - since its inception in 1992. This year’s benefit was no exception, raising over $800,000 dollars. The event’s long-time production ally, Acme Sound Partners, secured the SD7 from Lew Mead of Autograph A2D, who donated the console for the event.
Ton Eichinger Wins Austrian Lottery With DiGiCo SD7 And SD8Studio 44 is an extremely well equipped event location based in the headquarters of the Austrian Lotteries in Vienna.

SK Systems Rounds Out Its Full Line Of DiGiCo Offerings With SD8New York-based SK Systems has become one of the region’s top sound reinforcement and production service houses, by providing its broad clientele with reliable, state-of-the-art technology and exemplary customer service. In part, that reputation has been cemented by offering a complete line of DiGiCo system configurations for applications both large and small. SK Systems’ owner, Tom Heinisch, made the decision to round out his complete DiGiCo arsenal - comprised of two D1s, D5, and SD7 - with the newest SD8, based on his extensive experience with DiGiCo, and the stellar sonic superiority, workhorse reliability and exceptional support in the field that he and his customers have grown to know and love. A few of his happy customers include the Plain White Tees, They Might Be Giants and Donna Summer. 
The Producers Touring Musical Showcases DiGiCo's Powerful SD8Thirty-plus years after the release of Mel Brooks’ celluloid comedy “The Producers”, the zany musical has enjoyed a renaissance, thanks in part to a wildly successful Broadway adaptation in 2001 and subsequent film version in 2005. The original show - starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick - ran for over 2500 performances, won a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, and also spawned a plethora of international tours and productions. In July, the New Bedford Festival Theatre staged a two-week run of the musical at the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center, featuring original costumes and sets from the Broadway performance. Jason Choquette, on vacation from his main gig as touring sound engineer for the “Phantom of the Opera”, designed the production’s sound system with a DiGiCo SD8 at its core following a chance meeting with DiGiCo’s U.S. Sales Manager, Matt Larson.
