Nicholls had started working with grandMA consoles whilst studying, primarily via extra-curricular freelancing work for UK rental companies including Hawthorn Theatrical, which gives him the chance to use the grandMA 'series 1' full-size, light and ultra-light.
There are numerous reasons that Nicholls chose the console. "It has the same software and DMX outputs as the grandMA full-size, and is built on the really quick and easy to use architecture of the 'series 1' which has been made even more versatile and flexible. The way you can completely customise the layout and make it your own personal console is brilliant."
