[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 100279, member: 1107"] Re: Sign of the times. I just bought this for $1,300. And I was close to pitching all our FOH gear out and getting a cheap medium format digital for this venue myself but we would have had to sacrifice a lot and given this kind of option is around we'll be analogue for a while longer. PM4K's don't crash, sound great and are simple and rider friendly. It does in fact sound better then all the guest desks that have been through except the Profile (which will be back in in a month or so so I can A/B) and possibly my own Venice f that I may bring out to play just out of curiosity And because I want to play around with using it with waves Multirack for some upcoming road work. We've not had any Digico's or Midas Pro's through yet however. I suspect they'd best this beast. The 4k does have a bit of a sound. It's super clean, fast and hifi. A bit sterile.
