Brit Row director Bryan Grant told us: "We first ran these consoles in anger with The Manics last autumn, followed by the MTV EMA Awards and then the BRITS. Our engineers were impressed by them and visiting technicians also gave them a very positive response. In fact, everyone who tried them was surprised at how quickly they could get up to speed mixing on them - and I have to say how damn good they sounded" Grant also implied an ongoing commitment to the PM1D, remarking: "We think they are the future and I think this initial order will be the first of many."
Brit Row will take delivery of the PM1Ds in early May in preparation for a busy summer of high profile events. Brit Row's engineers also paid tribute to the exemplary product support and engineer training offered by Yamaha and Marquee Audio. Yamaha’s commercial audio sales manager Mike Case commented: "We are delighted that Britannia Row, one of the world’s leading rental companies, have committed to this product."
Marquee Audio’s Spencer Brooks added: "Purchasing decisions of this nature are not made lightly. Brit Row had wanted to learn more about the product in real world situations, and at the same time stimulate their clients, before committing. We are pleased to have been able to offer the company all the technical support they required during that period."
