Some of the hottest dancers in show business came together at New York’s world-famous Roseland Ballroom in June for “Broadway Bares”, a one-night sold-out extravaganza, which married the naughtiness of burlesque with the dazzle of Broadway. Originally conceived by Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, the event has raised over 5.5 million dollars for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS—the nation's leading non-profit AIDS fundraising organization—since its inception in 1992. This year’s benefit was no exception, raising over $800,000 dollars. The event’s long-time production ally, Acme Sound Partners, secured the SD7 from Lew Mead of Autograph A2D, who donated the console for the event.
“We were early-adopters of the D5T,” said Nevin Steinberg of Acme Sound Partners. “After having a few introductory demonstrations of the SD7 hardware over the past year, we had been looking for an opportunity to use the new console in a show situation. Since we've been doing ‘Broadway Bares’ for about 10 years, we thought it would be a great chance to introduce some exciting new technology to our regular system.”
The console’s maiden voyage for Steinberg proved nothing short of excellent. “The desk performed very well. Setup was a breeze, operation was intuitive, and the sound was—as expected—excellent. We particularly liked the snapshot auto-update feature, and the extensive onboard dynamics processing—especially the multi-band compression. We also test-drove the onboard effects and were pleased by the sound of the delay and reverb presets. All in all, we had a great first pass at using the console, and are looking forward to other opportunities to include the SD7 on our events and upcoming shows.”
