Cranger Kirmes Festival utilises DiGiCo SD8
With almost four and a half million visitors, the festival of Cranger Kirmes is one of the biggest and most popular German folk festivals. Every year on the first Friday of August, more than 500 funfair operators bring shooting galleries, beer gardens, carrousels, ghost trains and a variety of innovative, high-tech amusement rides to the 111,000m2 site.
In the festival’s Steinmeister pavillon, audio suppliers Schallmeister utilised a DiGiCo SD8 digital mixing console for covers band SE7EN CENT.
Schallmeister purchased its first DiGiCo console from German distributor atlantic audio immediately after the launch of the SD8 in 2008 for its rental and dry hire business.
Since then, the console has proved very popular amongst Schallmeister’s clients and impressed the organizers in Crange with its outstanding performance. This is why owners Marcus Ugljanin and Tim Jansen have ordered a second SD8 enabling them to have an SD8 FOH and monitor combination.
While waiting for delivery, atlantic audio’s sales manager Christian Eberlein temporarily satisfied Schallmeister’s SD8 appetite with a traditional Crange gingerbread heart, bearing the message, ‘I love SD8’’.
