Hello. I'm the director(of everything) for my high school's theatre group. We recently lost the main processing unit in our old light console (Leprechaun 1600 48/96) , and the tech I spoke with about repair suggested it wasn't worth it.
We're currently in the "sell candybars and beg local buisnesses like mad" mode, but I'm looking at potential replacements. Obviously, I'd love to get an Express 48/96 (few and far between right now online and pricey), so I'm looking at alternatives. I was on one of the major used gear sites, and saw a Colortran Encore that looks like it should be similar to the Express...however, in poking around your threads, it seems like perhaps not. Can someone with experience the board give me a run down on whether this board is even worth thinking about?
Also, what is the general consensus on the ET Marquee 128? Is this board complicated? I have to train a new board operator every three years or so, so I'd like to keep things relatively simple.
Any help is appreciated!
