UK - Marquee Audio used its second product open day at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) to present a programme of seminars and workshops from some of their key suppliers - this time partnering Midas and Klark Teknik with Turbosound and Optocore.Co-ordinated by Marquee sales director Andy Huffer, the centrepiece was the first UK viewing of the Midas Verona mixing console, which had been previewed at the American Winter NAMM in Anaheim a few weeks earlier.

The desk attracted considerable interest throughout the day as Huffer and Midas UK sales manager Richard Ferriday, put the desk through its paces. According to Marquee: "Verona advances the concept of the ultra-compact, and high-selling Venice, delivering more inputs and features within a package which promises to revolutionize the eight-bus market." The desk is available in six different chassis sizes - from 24 up to 64 inputs.

Elsewhere, Marquee Audio presented the latest generation of Optocore's stand-alone LX4 fibre-optic multicore system; the Klark Teknik Helix digital EQ system; Turbosound TQ and TXD range of loudspeakers - as well as the Midas Heritage 4000 (and software upgrades).
