Italy - Located in the heart of Reggio Emilia, Ruote da Sogno is famed for its exquisite collection of classic cars and motorcycles. When the showroom decided to begin hosting events, Marco Gianferrari, technical manager for the venue, chose two S31 consoles, complete with a DQ-Rack each, all supplied by Audio Link, to ensure audio quality and flexibility.
Ruote da Sogno’s new events space is 10,000sq.m, arranged with flexible divisions, to offer the greatest range of possibilities for clients. A Dante network links all areas of the space, so the DQ-Racks are a suitable addition to ensure complete connectivity and reliability. Each rack is a 6U unit, with dual redundant power supplies and DMI-Dante, providing all the power of a larger rack in a more compact package. Each rack delivers 48 mic inputs and 24 line outputs, with the final four being switchable between stereo AES/EBU outputs and line outputs, offering a possible 8 AES/EBU outputs in total.
The space is used for a wide variety of events, from fashion runways to product launches, weddings and parties. The flexible networking options for the DiGiCo S31 setup means that it is easy to accommodate any requests, from recordings via the UB-MADI card, to facilitating additional external equipment.
Marco Gianferrari concludes: “It was important to retain the elements of choice and flexibility. The customisation of the mixing surface and the processing power of the S31, alongside the guaranteed audio quality of the DiGiCo brand, are fundamental characteristics that ensured that our only choice for the multiplicity of events managed here was a DiGiCo console.”
