The consoles have been installed into the Katuaq Greenland, the country's primary multipurpose arts centre built in the capital city of Nuuk in 1997 to strengthen cultural life in the country. Having operated with its main console for the nine years since it opened, the venue's technical staff felt the time was right for an upgrade, and following a Midas demo, the Legend 3000 was chosen. A Venice 240 was also selected for use at smaller events at the Katuaq.

"We needed a good replacement board because the venue gets a huge amount of use, with jobs ranging from theatre and dance to conferences and corporate events, which include different complex setups," says the centre's technical manager Kim Larsen. &quo

The MH3 was pressed into immediate service on the Everyman's pantomime over the holiday season. Installed just one week before the run of Rock 'n' Ro
