VAMP is one of Norway's most successful bands, and has just completed a national tour, playing on stage with the Norwegian Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra. The three-week tour of Norway's largest cities culminated in the Oslo Spektrum Arena, where VAMP delivered their unique blend of Norwegian folk, Celtic music and rock to a sell-out crowd of 8,000.

For the tour, the role of monitor engineer was filled by Espen Andersen, using one of Soundcraft's new Vi6 digital audio consoles. "A tour is the real test of a console, not what you see in the demo. The Vi6 performed perfectly on each of the 14 dates, and I thought that the sound quality was amazing."

The Vi6 is already making quite an impact in Norway, purchased by the National Theatre, and also by Oslo-based PA company Christiania Lyd. With a customer base that encompasses live music and corporate events, Christiania Lyd has an inventory of JBL VRX PA system powered by Crown I-Tech. According to Soundcraft distributors LydRommet AS, the Vi6 is the perfect match for a PA customer like Christiania Lyd: "it is ideal for a regional PA compay which places an emphasis on quality equipment. The Vi6 will be their first digital desk."
