DELTA ROCKS THE MIDDLE EAST
Delta Sounds new DiGiCo D5 Live – the only one that is permanently based in the Middle East - and L’Acoustics loudspeaker system have been hard at work recently, providing the audio quality synonymous with the Delta name to a host of big name acts that have passed through the region in last month.
Having kit for the touring market that is both familiar and extensive is proving a big advantage to the company, with visiting productions and local events alike beating a path to Delta’s door.
Maroon 5 and George Michael took full advantage of the D5, Alicia Keys Queen and Paul Rogers benefitted from Delta’s substantial stock of L’Acoustics’ cabinets, whilst the spectacular launch of Atlantis, The Palm made good use of the company’s entire inventory.
“It’s great to have access to DiGiCo products in the Middle East,” says Jim Ebdon. “It means that I can just take my setting with me on a USB key, rather than having to ship large amounts of kit. And on this occasion it was particularly useful, because the other option available would have meant using two desks instead of the just the one D5.”
“Delta Dubai has gone through a period of significant growth over recent months,” says Andy Jackson, who heads up the operation. “We moved to larger premises and have made a substantial investment in our rental stock, which includes the D5 Live and L’Acoustics rig. We now have enough kit to service major acts that come to the region.”
