[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 147792, member: 388"] Re: Digital Console purchase for a 400 capacity theater Hi TJ, The GLD also struck me as being much more capable and professional than I expected. I wrote earlier that is looks a bit plastic and frail in the documentation, but in person is a stout, robust console. Does anyone know if one of the GLD stage boxes, the AR2412 for example, can be used on a DLive? They use the Dsnake protocol, but I do not see an adapter or interface for the DLive. I ask because the other techs have raised the need for more inputs at FOH beyond the built in 8x8. I suppose a Dante card and a Yamaha Rio16x8 may work. On a slightly related topic, can anyone familiar with the Midas Pro2 talk about ease of use? I am concerned that the BEs we see - having wildly differing talent and ability - are going to need more assistance learning the Pro2 interface than a DLive or QL. Rider friendliness does not concern me greatly, a capable engineer can get good sound out of many consoles, but ease of use issues are harder to overcome. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
