Digico Hosts First White Gloves Master Class Series
Mid January saw DiGiCo host its inaugural ‘White Gloves Master Class’ at its Chessington, UK premises. With
over 100 new and current users in attendance over the two two-day events, it proved a resounding success.
Designed for sound rental companies, sound engineers, system technicians and maintenance technicians, the classes took place
over a two-day period and saw DiGiCo’s premises transformed into a live sound stage, with breakout rooms affording
attendees the opportunity of a live mixing session, either individually or in small groups.
A total of seven consoles were set up, all wired and configured from a single Stage Rack, comprising a D5 at front of house
and monitors for the main area stage, a D5 RE also at FOH and a Soundtracs DS-00 for an OB truck positioned stage left.
A further D5 was set up in the ‘Silver Room’ for existing users to participate in an in-depth training session,
a D5 in the “Black Room’ for new users and the ‘Blue Room’ contained a D1 for those wishing to learn
about DiGiCo’s latest addition.
DiGiCo’s Managing Director, Bob Doyle, introduced the company and gave a product overview in the main room, followed
by a hands-on demonstration using both multitrack playback and a live band.
“I’d been a bit nervous about the whole digital thing,” said FOH engineer, Nick Warren. “But having
gone through it with the DiGiCo guys and had the chance to have a proper play with a D5, I’m going to insist on having
one on my next tour.”
“It was great to see so many new faces in attendance, as well as those we already know and love,” comments Marketing
Director, David Webster. “It just goes to prove that there is an immense amount of interest in the whole concept of
digital mixing consoles. The set up worked extremely well and the feedback we’ve had is fantastic. This is just the
first in what we hope will become a regular event.
