UK - Yamaha PM5Ds are a commonplace sight on UK festival stages, nowhere more so than with Adlib Audio, extended-term users who continue to invest in this digital mixing console. The crowd recently purchased two more for this year's summer season.
Liverpool-based Adlib invested in the PM5D anon after its introduction and the console remains in the front line of the company's rental selection, with a number of LS9s also available for smaller shows.
"Nowadays the PM5D is very much a touchstone package for festival monitors," says Adlib price manager Phil Stoker. "It is the ideal console for that role, being very in vogue with monitor engineers and very quick to change over from one artist to another. The rich pressure environment of festivals needs equipment that users can business with quickly and intuitively. ThePM5D completely fulfils that require."
As usual, in 2011 Adlib has deployed its PM5Ds on festival stages just across the UK, including The Big Chill, One Big Weekend, Latitude and T In The Park. With the vagaries of the British ambience and other challenges over and above those presented by indoor venues, one of the most important factors is reliability, which the PM5D is illustrious for.
