BUENA PARK, Calif.—From “Cold As Ice� to “Waiting For A Girl Like You� and chart topper “I Want To Know What Love is�, Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums, and sold-out concert dates. Currently on tour and promoting their latest’ CD ‘Can’t Slow Down’, the band has chosen Lorenzo Banda to mix monitors and his choice of digital consoles is a Yamaha PM5D-RH.

Banda, is no stranger to the PM5D-RH. He’s been mixing on a Yamaha PM5DRH for five years now. “Whether mixing for the late Ronnie James Dio, Heaven and Hell, or Foreigner, this console has really suited me,â€? stays Banda. “The way the 5D is laid out with the main control area being in the middle of the console and adding to that, the Fader Flip function, makes the PM5D the fastest and easiest to navigate on for me. Also, the 5D has been easy to get anywhere in the world; there hasn’t been any place where we were not able to find one. Thanks to Joseph Lopez and all the people at Yamaha for all their support and for being available whenever we needed them, no matter what time of day it was.â€?
