Hello All
I have gone through several old threads and would like some current opinions.
Background
I am a theater manager for a school district where we have two high schools with two theaters. One space is one year old and the other is fifteen years old. My older facility has issues with the sound system and we are looking to upgrade. My new facility has a Yamaha M7CL-48 console with a AudiaFlex DSP.
Scope of the Project at the older space
Replace the head end of the sound system with a new board and DSP engine while replacing copper analog wire with a digital snake system.
Project Criteria
To meet or exceed current capibilities at the newer space.
I have received 3 bids on the project that are inside my budget.
Company A and B Bid similar solutions
Company C
All Three companies came in at similar bid. These are the questions that I am asking myself.
Do I want to stay with a similar console between both spaces?
My thinking is telling me that the system design from Company A/B is a better fit for my older space? Particularly for future expansion.
