Many engineers in Spain favour the Venue D-Show system:
•    Latin Grammy-winning pop singer, David Bisbal, and singer-songwriter, Juan Manuel Serrat, have both gone on tour with the Venue D-Show as the chosen FOH console.

•    Currently on stage in Barcelona and Madrid, Nacho Cano’s musical ‘A’ has a Venue D-Show FOH and a Venue Profile system for monitors; similarly, 40 Principals has a Venue D-Show FOH, and has chosen the Venue SC48,  the most affordable and portable Venue system yet, for monitors. 

•    The Venue SC48 has also been installed at some of Barcelona’s most famous music venues, including Sala DF, hosting independent/alternative musicians, and Salamandra, Barcelona’s temple for indie bands.

•    Venue D-Show occupies the coveted FOH position on the main stage at the Benicassim Festival this year.

One of the reasons for this widespread success is that all Venue systems use Venue D-Show software, allowing engineers to learn the system once and then take their show files and system expertise to work on any other Venue system. In addition to the sound quality, flexibility and functionality of Venue consoles, SeeSound has also been very instrumental in growing Venue’s success in Spain, being widely known for delivering excellent service and superb support to its customers. Initial Venue sales in Spain were largely through hire companies and rapidly expanded to include sales to orchestras, theatres and other big city venues.

Nacho Alberdi, chief executive of SeeSound, commented: “We provide lots of training resources as part of our package, and more hundreds of sound engineers have attended the Venue course at our offices over the last five years. We also offer 24-hour phone support, technical knowledge and much more. We also did a lot of demos in the early days, which helped show people the capabilities of the system. They in turn recommended it to their friends and colleagues, both personally and through testimonials on our website, helping raise awareness of Venue to the live sound community.”

SeeSound is now expanding its expertise into the Portuguese market. Alberdi: “This programme has started well. By the summer of 2010, we expect to see the reputation of the Venue consoles and our service levels reaches a wider audience.”
