[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 48911, member: 153"] Re: soundcraft europa Hello, While some would argue that it was not in the same class... I think that the Europa was Soundcraft's answer to the Cadac....J (whatever) that was being used more and more at the time, on the Road for Concerts. The Cadac was, (and still may be in some cases) the go-to Theatre Console for the large production Theatre Shows. Showco's Show-Console came out slightly later than the Europa...I think possibly two/three years. Both the Europa and the Show-Console came with or without Automation. Harrison made the Show-Console for Showco. I used the Europa on a few festivals, a weekly Concert series, and a couple of White House/Presidential gigs for a Sound Provider I was working for at the time. It was big and heavy. On at least one occasion, I think it took a couple of years off of my life, as Bill Collins, Keith Jex, and I had lost our stagehands (they disappeared during load out) and we had to push the monster up a grassy hill and up the truck ramp. After that task, stacking EAW 850's in the truck was a breeze. ;o) Hammer [/QUOTE]
