[QUOTE="Raul Suarez, post: 48907, member: 392"] Re: soundcraft europa Used it, moved it, mixed on it, packed it in trucks, actually still own it. Doesn't get much if any use lately, but I still think it was a nice desk. At the time it came out, it was pretty much the only real big boy option to a PM3000 unless you wanted to look at maybe TAC9000. It predates the XL3, if not by manufacture, at least be marketing in the US. Once the PSU's were swapped out for the Schubert designed ones, console was pretty reliable. We didn't get the automation package. I believe very few did. I am fairly sure that it was the same OEM manufacturer and basic package as the XL4 would use a little later. Yes, it is big and heavy and too long to go across the truck. But, not really that much bigger or heavier than a PM4k. Get an EZ tilt (well they didn't exist back when it first came out) and setting it up is the same effort as a PM4K. Never understood the big worry about length in the truck. Just have to change the mind set from rows to columns. If your boxes are all 1/4 truck pack, then the Europa is just 1 box in each of 4 rows, instead of 4 boxes in one row. Never a big deal here. The on board gates were pretty useful. It was nice having a gate available on every channel, something in this digital age that we are used to. Raul Suarez Third Ear Sound [/QUOTE]
