To achieve this, the Cultural Centre's entertainments team creates demanding programmes and spectacles in a number of disciplines - song, dance, circus, choreography, comedy, music and theatre (including for young audiences).
"With such a wide range of events, we needed a digital console that could be easily and quickly adapted to a number of configurations, and at the same time be able to offer a high level of audio quality," explains Yann Vaslin, technical director of Capellia. "At the same time it needed to offer a fast and intuitive experience for the sound engineer.
"When I discovered the Soundcraft console I immediately saw all these unparalleled advantages afforded by its incomparable ergonomics - such as display parameters in either Global or Channel mode, allowing access to all the section parameters horizontally, without needing to refer to a central screen."
"Sound quality was our more important selection criterion," Yann Vaslin continues. "With the Si3, Soundcraft has remained faithful to its reputation by providing a high quality analogue interface, complemented by internal processing - BSS graphic EQ's and Lexicon FX processors. This means that without having to find additional budget, we can make the necessary dynamic corrections and achieve even better technical and more creative results."
The Soundcraft SI3 was installed by the company DBAM which also has a Soundcraft Vi6 digital console in its rental fleet.
