[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 146736, member: 162"] Re: Yamaha TF5 with Rio boxes? I guess it depends what your priorities are. I routinely use an M7 that my church owns and a GLD-80 that I own. New cost on the M7 was close to $20K. Current pricing of a 48-channel GLD system (full complement of stageboxes) is under $6K for the smaller surface, or a bit more for the GLD-112. Functionally, the GLD platform has almost the same capabilities as the M7-48 for 1/3 of what the M7 cost new, and in some ways, the GLD does more - WAY more EQ capability on outputs, more effects processing, digital snake, and almost exactly the same input and bus count. Do do I wish the GLD-80 had a few more faders? Maybe, and I'm contemplating picking up a GLD-112 system so I have that choice, but honestly I've mixed 48 inputs on the GLD with very little inconvenience. The flexible surface where any channel strip can be anything is hugely great, and I find it very simple and quick to setup. I can do it in approximately the same amount of time it takes to label the M7 with board tape. Operating the show is faster on the GLD than the M7. I like Yamaha gear generally, but I won't be going back anytime soon based on what their current pricing is, and the 1:1 fader thing is as much a disadvantage as it is an advantage. [/QUOTE]
