DiGiCo Quantum 852 and Quantum 7 selected for Craig David’s busy year of shows

For Craig David, 2024 was a sold-out year of global touring, arena venues, outdoor shows and DJ sets. 2025 sees a UK tour and many more shows across the world. Mixing front-of-house is Paul Cooper, with Ash Wilkinson (pictured) on monitors. Both are using DiGiCo Quantum consoles, supplied by UK rental and production company Major Tom Audio Production - a Quantum 852 was chosen for front-of-house and a Quantum 7 for monitors.

“I just love the layout of the Quantum 7; it’s got everything I need, exactly where I need it”, says Wilkinson who has worked with Craig David since 2013. “We have some fly-in shows coming up where we have a smaller channel count, so we will be converting our show files to fit Q338 Pulse consoles. I’m really keen to dive into all the new Macro features and Mustard Source Expanders in the v20 software.”

“The monitor desk also takes care of the comms for everyone, so being able to globally address them is indispensable”, he adds. “What the band want during rehearsals is very different to what they want during the show, so I can quickly change things, without having to find the individual channels. Being able to react quickly is key to how I work with the band.”

At the front-of-house position, engineer Paul Cooper appreciates the flexibility that Fourier offers. “For me, DiGiCo is the quickest and best way to do things”, he says. “I often use a mixture of consoles, but DiGiCo is the one that does everything you want it to do. You’re not limited by a specific layout.”
