[QUOTE="Scott Mullane, post: 148608, member: 10652"] Re: Digital Console purchase for a 400 capacity theater I am a little late to the party as I was not aware of this board. Thanks Peter Morris for the info. I have used all of the listed consoles extensively for live music applications with the exception of the S21. So I am keen to hear what folks think of it. I can certainly agree that the Midas board sounds great, but for me, it is a pain to build a show and I have had many reliability issues with them. Not one board, but many as I tour the country. From simple glitches to major crashes and everything in between. I know all boards have their issues, but some less than others. The Yamaha's are great, easy to use and reliable. However, for my purposes they are a little too expensive for what they offer. Not by much, but just a little. The Digico range sounds good and are a solid choice. I always seem to enjoy my time on them apart from the less than accurate touch screen. : P The Allen & Heath is incredible bang for buck with both the GLD and d-live clear price winners. I have sold one of my boards, an Avid board, to purchase the d-live and I do not regret it at all. As Peter has said, it is class leading.
