"We identified the LS9 as a 'killer product'," says Blitz's Richard Rogers. "It does everything we'd want it to do, it's really well-priced and so versatile, and it fits into our conference market very well indeed. The first four desks we bought more or less entirely on Marquee's recommendation, and, after a few shows, we thought we'd better buy another consignment before they ran out!
"Fortunately, Marquee Audio is always able to source products in time for our demanding needs, even a hot product like the LS9."
Blitz Sound is gradually replacing all its analogue boards as the last ones reach the end of their useful life: all new mixer stock is digital. "The bonus for us is that there's so much in these new digital consoles including an extensive range of gating, compression, and equalisation features," says Rogers. "For us, a big addition is MP3 playback. We can playback sound effects directly from the desk, and we can record straight to MP3."
