AUDITIV, a national company that also writes the history of DiGiCo in Portugal
National television productions gained new impetus after the entry of new private channels in the late 1990s, with strong competition for audiences driving greater technical and logistical demands in the production of television shows.
National companies began to be increasingly requested for this new market and one of these companies was Auditiv, founded exactly 20 years ago, having been present in the sound production of the most relevant national shows, with or without television broadcast, in these two decades.

Acquisition of SD5 and SD10 tables – Nov. 2014 From left to right: Luís Tavares (Garrett – technician), João Escada (AUDITIV – Managing Partner and Founder), Daniel Bekerman (AUDITIV – Managing Partner), Fernando Delgado (DiGiCo UK), Miguel Moreira (Garrett – Commercial Technician), Vera Garrett (Garrett – Administration) and Raul Fernandes (Garrett – Administration / Sales Director)
Auditiv began its history with DiGiCo at the beginning of this millennium, when it acquired the D1 and D5 tables. It was the robustness, versatility and technical support that made the Auditiv team invest in the English brand again in 2014, replacing the old “D” tables with, firstly, an SD9, and later 2x SD10 and 2x SD5 broadcast version. .
The five DiGiCo digital tables that Auditiv currently has, can be backstage for stage monitoring, in FOH, in a mobile studio or can even be rented to other producers or similar companies.
One of Auditiv's usual productions is the delivery gala of the “SIC's Golden Globes”, with the last edition taking place on the 21st of May.
For the live television broadcast, one of the two studio cars was used, equipped with the DiGiCo SD5 broadcast version, while two SD10 ensured the sound for the public at the “Coliseu de Lisboa” and a SD5 for sound monitoring on stage. The signals inserted in the SD Racks they were then sent by MADI and Optical fiber in an Optocore network through the 3 Auditiv actuation points, for a total of +120 audio channels.

SIC's "Globos de Ouro" is one of the great national productions, along with TVI's "Gala das Estrelas" or "Popular Marches of Lisbon" for RTP, events that count on the presence of auditory.
Many other shows like “X Factor”, “Got Talent”, “The Voice Kids” or “Just Duets” had the participation of auditory in sound production.
Off-screen, recent productions stand out, such as the tour of “Xutos e Pontapés” with the model SD10, several concerts in the theater “BBVA Tivoli”, theater “São Luiz” or “Campo Pequeno”.
It's by the tables of DiGiCo which spends practically all the work of the auditory, a Portuguese company that honors us in being our partner.
