The D5T was supplied by New York-based Autograph A2D to PRG Audio, who leased the console to the show's production company. They, in turn, brought in theatrical sound design specialists Acme Sound Design Partners to design the audio production.
"We've been using DiGiCo D5Ts since the summer of 2004, when it was on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at The Old Globe Theatre in LA Jolla, California," says Acme's Tom Clark. "Since then the D5T has become our default console for Broadway productions due to its audio quality, flexibility and high input/output count."
Lew Mead, managing director of Autograph A2D, adds, "It has been very interesting for A2D to be involved with this wonderful show. Both [Autograph founder] Andrew Bruce and I were involved with the original Michael Bennett production and the history we have with A Chorus Line makes our involvement with this production even more special to us.
"I must admit that I was curious about how they would do things now. When we originally worked on the show it was with no wireless microphones and an analogue console. But the Acme team and the D5T were a perfect match."
