Alive Technologies FOH Engineer Caleb Doherty was a big fan of the system, which included a substantial Nexo rig for the main stage.
The SD8 was used to handle the various MCs, presenters and bands that performed. Caleb is a long-time user of the SD8 and was very pleased with its performance on the night.
"The SD8 is quite amazing when considering power versus space," he says. "It gave us very clear output and full coverage in a 40m room with no effort. I find it the easiest desk to use and, on the night, the band rolled up late, so we skipped sound check. I got the 15-piece band going in three minutes using the SD8. You could never do that with an analogue desk! The touch screen menus make everything so direct and easy and re-arranging outputs is too easy. It also sounds brilliant."
