Patch Productions invests in DiGiCo Quantum 326 for touring

From Cheltenham Jazz Festival to touring theatre productions, Patch Productions is scaling up its audio offering with DiGiCo Quantum 326 and 326T consoles

DiGiCo consoles have become central to Patch Productions’ approach to delivering audio for outdoor events and theatrical productions. Led by director Toby Chevis, the company has grown its operation around DiGiCo technology, with Quantum 326 and 326T systems now supporting festivals, touring and theatre work.

At the age of 14, Chevis began his freelance career, and now is a go-to supplier for numerous events, including Songs for a New World. “The Cheltenham Jazz Festival is another busy show with acts like Lulu, Beverley Knight and Roger Daltrey all coming through with their own consoles,” Chevis explains. “We needed compact but capable consoles at front of house and monitors because space was at a premium, but we could still serve acts like Macy Gray, Lisa Stansfield and the Buena Vista All Stars, who all used our consoles.”

The Quantum 326T has been this capable console for Patch Productions. For ultimate speed, Patch Productions custom builds all of the racks used. Packing 156 input channels into a compact frame allows Chevis to remain nimble during speedy load-ins but also caters for larger shows that are being broadcast.

DiGiCo’s T software opens up the console’s flexibility with features designed specifically for theatre shows. The Advanced Auto-Update Cue system ensures each channel only updates as required when a scene is changed, while the Aliases and Players functions unlock even greater control for covers and costume changes.

DiGiCo’s support is not only integral for Patch Productions growth but also for artists around the world, including Gracie Abrams and Gary Barlow.
