NEW YORK, NY—Sound supervisor Abe Jacob
(pictured) worked with Autograph A2D and
Group One to spec a DiGiCo SD8 console
as part of the renovation of The David H.
Koch Theater at the Lincoln Center for the
Performing Arts. Not only was the console
a perfect fit for a sound booth cut in half by
ADA upgrades to theater seating, it could
also handle the sound enhancement and reinforcement
required by the City Opera and
the New York City Ballet, who are the two
main constituents of the theater.
