Dominic Gross and Sam Simon-Norris, technical sales at LMC Audio London with the Allen & Heath GLD at Oval Space
UK - Oval Space, a multi-use arts and events venue in Bethnal Green, has recently invested in an Allen & Heath GLD-80 digital console, supplied by LMC Audio London.

Dominic Gross, head engineer at Oval Space discusses the requirements of a console in an environment and venue such as Oval Space: "As a truly multi-use space, we knew that we needed a flexible and user-friendly console that still sounded great, for both seasoned engineers and those users with more limited experience. The GLD seemed to tick all of the boxes.

"The GLD just seems to work in all the right ways. Menus are where I would expect them to be, the touch screen is excellent, and most importantly, it sounds like an analogue desk. The stage box is a major plus for us too...I never want to see a 48-way multi-core ever again."

Feedback from other users has also been positive. "The response to the desk has been excellent all round. It's good to see a visiting engineer get into a mix within 30 seconds of laying hands on the GLD," adds Gross.

Oval Space recently hosted the highly anticipated launch of Atoms For Peace's album Amok, led by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, for which the GLD was deployed.

Mick Brown, tour manager for Atoms For Peace, comments, b"When advancing the Atoms For Peace DJ show at Oval Space, the first thing I mentioned to our sound engineer, Mikko Gordon, was that he might prefer a more modern mixing desk for our show. When contacting the technical team at Oval Space they informed me they were aware and were going to trial an A&H GLD-80. I told Mikko and he was happy with their choice of desk, as was I."
