SPLIT, Croatia — As its name might suggest, pricing of gear is an important consideration for Sasan “Ciro” Cirkovic, owner of Cash Sound, based here. But so were “a really good sound” and “a stable platform,” according to Cirkovic, whose company supports a wide range of live events including concerts by Croatia’s biggest artists and international stars.
“The SD9 is big enough to cope with most of the shows we work on and we wanted to offer a different option to other rental companies in our region,” said Cirkovic. Supplied by DiGiCo’s Slovenian distributor MK Light Sound, the console is Cash Sound’s first DiGiCo product and will be used on broadcast projects as well as for live shows.
“In our opinion, compared to analog desks, this is the first digital console that has a great sound, plenty of headroom and it sounds perfect, even when you fill out all the channels,” Cirkovic added. “The console is also very user friendly, so that even a beginner in digital audio mixing world can dig into it immediately. I really like the fact that you have a large touchscreen at your disposal, as this simplifies using the console so much.
“Although it is so user friendly, it doesn't compromise on the available tools, so serious producers and engineers can find everything they need,” Cirkovic added. DiGiCo’s announcement of a Dante DMI at ProLight+Sound in March has offered another option, which Ciro is eager to try.
“We are more than anxious to get our hands on the Dante card, so we can also offer the live recording facility to our customers,” he said. “The SD9 has completely satisfied all of our production needs – the truth is that we didn’t consider any other option.”
