DiGiCo Consoles Enjoy Success In The Philippines

Manila based Hx Pro Sounds and Lights is one Filipino company that has invested in DiGiCo, an SD8 being followed by the purchase of an SD7.

“Before buying the SD8, we compared all the major digital consoles,” says Hx Pro’s Rex Maliuanag. “After comparing them, DiGiCo was ahead of the game. We love the idea that we can configure the boards in the way we want them to work.”

For this demanding audio production, Dutch rental company Da Capo, chosen specifically for its orchestral experience, deployed a number of DiGiCo SD consoles to cope with the extensive requirements.

“We are very experienced with in-ear monitoring for orchestras and have specific systems that we use,” explains Da Capo founder and sound designer for the tour, Rob van der Meijs. “Initially, monitor speakers were requested, but the sound level on stage should be as low as possible so we recommended in-ears instead.”
