DiGiCo monitors 5SOS Meet You There tour
- Details
5SOS have since released three studio albums and headlined three world tours. Their current Meet You There tour supports their 2017 hit record, Youngblood, and at stage left position, Pavan Grewall is working from his trusted DiGiCo SD10 console.
Grewall is adept at both FOH and monitor roles. He has flown faders at FOH for a number of well-known artists including Meghan Trainor, Nick Jonas, and Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen, with whom he spent five years touring the world.
His current role as monitor engineer with 5SOS is one he is enjoying: he has been working with both the band and the DiGiCo SD10, supplied by Adlib, for 18 months. He says it is the overall functionality, ease of use, and sound quality of the console which has made it his go-to desk.
“I’m running an SD-Rack and a SD-MiNi-Rack to accommodate the additional inputs for this show,” he explains. “And I really love the mic pres on the SD10: they’re so transparent, and that’s what I really enjoy - and actually, that's what I need- for working monitors, because ultimately, I am trying to give the band the truth of it.”
The 5SOS Meet You There tour ran from August to November last year, kicking off in Osaka, Japan, and finishing up in Madrid, 52 shows later.
