Augsburg-based Yousound Showtechnik rigged the shows as well as providing trucking and full logistics. "We used a PM1D just for the monitor system with 96 input channels and 32 outputs," said Stefan Heinicke of Yousound. "That's a lot, but well within the capabilities of the desk."Much of the front-of-house mixing was provided by a Yamaha PM3500 mixing desk to provide the Divas with high quality sound through an impressive PA system using around 100 speakers. "We were really working the desk," said Heinicke. "We had everything hooked up to it - every input and output we had. It worked like a dream."
The desk performed without a hitch throughout the shows and was able to cope with the everything the Divas required as they performed their repertoire of well-known hits. However, for many of the audience the highlight of the show came when Natalie Cole performed an emotional duet of 'Unforgettable' with her late father, Nat King Cole.
