[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 18421, member: 67"] Re: showconsole - too good to be true? I've seen Paragon IIs selling for $25000. You'd still need ''Tech-in-a-Boxâ„¢'' to keep it running... I like old analog, too. It's part of a very usable tool kit, but one that is currently more at home in boutique installs. That's you? At any rate, working as an IATSE hand I've tipped exactly ONE large frame analog console in the last 12 months at an arena show. FWIW, I'm seeing more DiGiCos and Soundcrafts and fewer PM5Ds... Probably the biggest impediment to the Show Console is the computer. IIRC, it was a 286 or 386 based machine that ran MS-DOS. How's your stock of 20 year old parts? It's probably easier to find the old audio parts for the desk than parts for the computer. John McBride will continue to mix Tina on analog. He's a joyful Luddite that loves what he can do with old tech. As BE, he can spec what he wants, and holding a seat on the Clair board he will get it... Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
