Used on the "Surfing to Shockwave" tour.
Clair Global supported the tour with DiGiCo SD10 consoles for FOH and monitors (including wedges, side fills, and subs) and a Shure/Sennheiser microphone package. “We use P.A. du jour every day, so I never know exactly what I’m walking into,” [FOH engineer Michael "Ace"] Baker says. “Some [systems] are wonderful; some are interesting and we figure out how to make it work. But the venues that we play are all chosen pretty well. Many of them are places that we’ve played before.
