Hello:
We are currently planning the new sound reinforcement system for our theatre and have been debating consoles.
Originally, it appeared that we were going to go with either a Soundcraft Series II or an Allen and Heath GL3800. The audio contractor has now offered up a Yamaha M7CL console as an additional possibility. Any of the consoles fit our budget.
I have done a bit of research and have read few if any negative comments beyond, "it is new". Does anyone have any insights to offer regarding the console?
One reason for looking seriously at this is the potential for better readying our students for working within the industry. Also, we will still have our old analog console available for training purposes. And, lest anyone wonder, we do two musicals per year with 10-18 wireless, one straight play, a radio drama (before a live audience), children's theatre, about 10 concerts and two dance recitals.
Student learning, and providing the best we can for them, is always paramount in our thinking.
Thanks for your opinions.
Dana
