Hi Everyone,
I work at a HS and we have a Philips Strand Preset Palette II 32/64 that has had trouble booting reliably for a couple of years now. I spoke with a servicer of Philips and he stated it would be pretty expensive to service and that it would be worth it to look at new boards.
I know VERY little about lighting, just enough to get by for our HS & MS musicals. If you had a $1000 - lets say $6 or $7000 to buy a new console / board / desk (whatever the right name is lol) What would you get?
I've always gotten the impression ETC was a good brand of board. I don't hate the Strand board we had but its a little "technical" for students to enter cues and work with
We have no LEDS, or moving lights (maybe one day fingers crossed). Just Source Fours on our trees and overhead colored lighting bars (from the 1950). I use about 45 -60 channels at most right now and hoping to expand in the future as we gain fixtures.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
