Kimbra has been touring the US with monitor engineer Rod Metheson using a DiGiCo SD11. "The great thing about the SD11 is that I could fit it into a Samsonsite case," says Metheson. "I made a frame which goes over it that keeps the buttons and screens protected. It just looks like luggage to customs officials. They seem to make a big fuss when they see a road case, trying to charge additional freight and the like. It's pretty amazing that I could just check it in as regular luggage.
"During some of the bigger gigs along the tour, I had a few people walk past me and say 'you're not using that little thing are you? The answer from me was always a resounding yes!"
