The Theatre stages an assortment of local, national and international productions throughout its calendar year, comprising original dance, music, poetry, play and film performances. The new 24-channel desk was chosen predominantly for its capacity to manage the larger musical events and theatrical productions, running in conjunction with the Theatre's existing Allen & Heath MixWizard 14:4:2 to run line level sources such as CD, mini-disc, or DAT where required.
"We're extremely pleased with the purchase. The GL3800 is a great desk and provides us with a huge amount of versatility for the diverse performances we manage, for instance, one of the productions scheduled this month involves constantly changing routing to 11 separate speakers throughout the performance!" comments the Green Room's technical director, Steve Curtis.
"We already own two smaller A&H mixers and have great faith in the company's build quality, ease of use, and design layout. The new GL desk impressed us with its ergonomics and flexibility - such as long-throw faders, EQ, and mute groups - as well as the VU meter bridge, which is a great benefit!"
