"The international reputation of d&b systems was one of the main aspects that we took into account when choosing a new system for our company," said Tomas Dvorak director of TD Promo. "We find d&b is one of the most preferred systems in technical riders and we are the only company in the Czech Republic with the J-Series, giving us an undisputed advantage."
"The local audio guys from TD Promo were very helpful," said Arnie Annables from Motorhead. "When I arrived they had the PA system set up as just a left right system. So with no fuss they quickly changed it to left right and subs, it is very important for my shows to have the sub on an aux."
Blaise Bernier mixing for Unexpect, the avant-garde extreme metal band from Montreal had a similar smooth experience. "The guys from TD actually did a great job, even if the language barrier was tricky at some points. Overall the PA was great, the band was pleased by the result, and even with this kind of music, which can really stretch a system, I found everything was standing where it was supposed to be in the mix."
d&b dispatched Janko Ramuscak from the Application Support team for this, TD Promo's first ever festival with their new J-Series. "Our sound guys have been working in the rental field for many years," said Dvorak. "That combination of their experiences plus d&b training which they completed before we acquired the system is very powerful. And of course support from d&b brought the best results.
"Training gave them everything you need to know. Now they are getting their first experiences of using the system in practice and the support of Janko helped us a lot! We think this is the best way to learn, how to use the system in practice. We will see how the festival will be next year. I expect that our guys will be able to work at international standards on their own."
