[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 22613, member: 321"] Re: Digidesign SC48 This review comes at a good time for me. I just got an email from a church I have been working with (as an outside consultant) with their technical needs of a few years. They want to talk more about going to a digital console. At the moment the SC48 is on the top of my list of consoles I am thinking of recommending to them. I have rented and used the iLive that Silas used to have and for what I was doing (musical theater) I really liked it. But I don’t think an iLive is appropriate for this church. And the SC48 wouldn’t have been my choice for the musicals I was doing. For the type of shows I was using the iLive for (musicals with around 23 wireless plus other inputs) I have always needed more channel faders on the surface then the SC48 would give me. But I think the SC48 would be great for this church. The church services are very band and singer intensive. So I think keeping a lot of things on lower layers with the subgroups on the surface would work very well for them. They already have the wiring infrastructure and splitting to the broadcast mix suit in place so a separate stage rack would just get in the way. I may be wrong but I think the SC48 may be less intimidating for them then looking at all the faders knobs and buttons on the 48 channel GL4000 that the presently have. They actually have run out of outputs not inputs. My only concern is lack of growth capabilities on the SC48. I have mentioned that to them but they don’t think they will need more inputs then they have now. This is not a new church and they have a lot of dedicated inputs now that aren’t always used. Most of their sound people are very computer literate so the digital way of thinking is easy for them. I am recommending to them that when they are ready to make the commitment that we get a demo board in for them to play with to see if they like it. Anybody have any comments or recommendations of something else I should consider in this price range and configuration. [/QUOTE]
