Soundcraft passes audition for New Zealand 'Idol'

Audio mixer Andy Tait said he had about an hour to learn the Vi6 console from Soundcraft before using it to mix the live-to-air music TV show — and he did.

The New Zealand version of Fox’s popular “American Idol” show has become the testing ground for a new Soundcraft Vi6 digital audio console.

Tom Cat & Associates, the Auckland-based sound company that provides production and broadcast audio for “NZ Idol,” recently ordered the second Vi6 console sold in New Zealand. Audio mixer Andy Tait chose the console after a 12-week trial. Tait said he had about an hour to learn the console before using it to mix the live-to-air music TV show.

Soundcraft will release an effects/EQ package for the Vi6 in early 2007. In the United States, Soundcraft and Studer's products are distributed by Harman Pro North America, a subsidiary of Harman International Industries.
