MIAMI — Beachsound provided a DiGiCo SD8 at FOH during the Ultra Music Festival here earlier this year. The desk served a majority of the headliners — from David Guetta to Tiesto and other DJs — during the course of the three-day festival.
More details from DiGiCo (www.digico.org):
With eight stages of electronic music scattered around downtown Miami Florida and an estimated record attendance of 165,000 over a weekend, the Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is North America’s second largest electronic music event.
Since 2008, Miami’s Beachsound & Lighting have facilitated the performance and production duties for the main live stage.
This year for the first time, Beachsound slotted a DiGiCo SD8 into FOH duties to handle a majority of the headliners — more than 100 DJs in all — with FOH engineer/crew chief Neil Rosenstock at the helm aided by systems engineer Harry Brill.
