Hugh Jones, managing director at HPSS, said, "The PRO2 is intuitive and accessible and in the smaller venues where the support has to be mixed on our boards it takes just 10 to 15 minutes to get the house engineer working comfortably with it. In acoustic scenarios in particular the set-up is so simple...you only need to do about six things with it and you're ready.
"Feedback has been very good", he continues. "We recently held a demo day at the HPSS warehouse and invited some engineers to come and try out the console. One of the engineers turned up with a show file that he had previously engineered on a PRO6, wanting to test whether it would transfer the show files between PRO6 and PRO2 seamlessly; it did. We researched our options before buying the desk. In the end, the frame size, functionality and ease-of-use meant that the potential return on investment for us was evident in the PRO2."
Tim Bamber, technical sales at LMC Birmingham advised Jones throughout the decision-making process. "LMC's support has been impressive," he says. "We were kept informed all the way along, from demo to purchase, with good communication from Tim and the team."
