The GB8 console was selected after the centre manger Huw Aled Jones visited PLASA 2004 where Soundcraft unveiled the GB4 - as soon as he saw the GB4 he was impressed with quality and functionality of the desk - but wanted something more and after careful deliberations with Northern Light's project manager Simon Cooper and Soundcraft's UK sales manager Gary Dent it was decided to wait for the release of the GB8 - hopefully in time for the Centre opening on the 7 March 2005. The console was delivered within time - but Soundcraft lent Galeri a GB4 to enable the systems to be fully commissioned by Northern Light and for the new staff to learn the functionality of the GB series desks.
