MILWAUKEE, WI — Clearwing Productions added DiGiCo SD5 and SD9 consoles to the company’s rental inventory. Both offer expanded functionality through a series of recent software and firmware upgrades.
More details from Clearwing (www.clearwing.com):
“I haven’t mixed in 15 years and have never mixed on a digital console before; yet within 5 minutes I felt completely at home and comfortable with the SD5,” said Gregg Brunclik, President and CEO of Clearwing Productions. “For as complex a machine as it is – the intuitive, user-friendly architecture allowed me to establish an ‘in the pocket’ mix in the first song of a festival without anything but a quick line check. And it was sonically exemplary to boot! It just doesn’t get better than that.”
The SD5 incorporates Stealth Digital Processing and the same proprietary mixing technology included in all the new SD model consoles. Originally launched 10 years ago as the “D5 Live”, the SD5 was reintroduced to the market with DiGiCo’s recent technological advancements. Now, like all consoles in the SD Series, its processing capabilities promise a new level of speed and power.
The powerful SD9 is a complete, integrated system, which includes the mixing surface, a D-Rack digital stage interface and CAT5E digital muticore, and has the ability to simultaneously record 56 channels direct to your multitrack software or DAW. This system boasts audio quality and flexibility on par with the highest level of productions that use DiGiCo SD7, SD8 and D-series consoles, and features third generation Stealth Digital Processing software. It includes DiGiCo’s cutting edge innovations such as “snapshots” and “global scope”. The system is also expandable, allowing a second D Rack to be connected to double the number of inputs and outputs.
