Remaining with Strand products was the obvious choice and with the increasing number of clients using intelligent lighting in their productions, SDD finally settled on the 350 channel, 520i to replace the ageing Strand LBX. Clive Walker, the Arts Centre manager, said: "Our relationship with SDD goes back to the early years of the centre - a time of new equipment, demanding users and tight schedules. No matter what the issue or time of day someone from SDD always seemed ready to answer a query or arrive to fix a problem. At all times, SDD's response was professional and courteous giving the impression that we - albeit a small concern - were of significant importance to them. Our Strand LBX has been in constant use for nine years and with more and more users requiring intelligent fixtures, the move to a more comprehensive control system was obvious. As most of our users are familiar with the range of Strand products, we were happy to consult with and take the advice of SDD and place and order for the 520i. I am delighted with both the product and service."
