Germany - Dance act, Scooter, whose first album release in the UK since 2002 promptly knocked Madonna off the number one slot last month, has just completed a triumphant tour throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The most successful act of all time in their native Germany, Scooter has also enjoyed a huge international career with over 14 million record sales and in excess of 80 gold and platinum discs worldwide, plus countless music prizes and trophies.

Their latest tour, Jumping All Over The World was a high-energy techno extravaganza in true Scooter fashion. Czech rental company, RentalPro, supplied full audio, lighting, laser, video and staging equipment including two InnovaSon Sy48 digital mixing consoles equipped with an LX6464ES soundcard.

A Camco-driven Nexo GEO T system was selected for the main PA, all run from an Sy48 digital console. A second Sy48 was deployed to handle monitors, and both consoles shared a DioCore (InnovaSon's dedicated EtherSound-enabled stagebox).

"The combination of InnovaSON, Nexo and Camco is pretty unbeatable when it comes to sound quality," added Knecht. "What's more, thanks to InnovaSon's EtherSound networking capabilities, we were able to use an LX6464Es sound card from Digigram to record every show. I never realised that high quality digital multitrack recording could be so easy."
