Originally fitted with a Soundcraft Series 600 32/2/8, the club - which operates on three floors - has now been updated with a 40-channel version of a Soundcraft MH2.
"The MH2, with its four stereo channels and 40 mono channels, eight VCA subgroups and the highly impressive 4-band equaliser with semi parametric filters, 10 auxiliary sends and six mute groups, meets our requirements perfectly," says Jan Drusche. "We have not been able to find a product with these qualities for a similar price on the market."
He adds that for a club such as Die Röhre, with a capacity of 500 people, the Soundcraft MH2 is the perfect solution. "It can comfortably meet all the requirements of the bands, while allowing us the option to run the monitor system - thanks to the 10 Aux. sends we can drive the monitor mix from the front."
The desk, which is complemented by a Soundcraft GB4 32+2, with its dual-mode topology, at the monitor end, was supplied by klangdesign GmbH of Stuttgart.
Headquartered at the Harman International Industries complex in Potters Bar, England, Soundcraft has built its global reputation over more than 30 years as a manufacturer of professional mixing consoles serving live, broadcast, theatre, recording and DJ markets. Worldwide sales and marketing for the brand is handled by the Soundcraft Studer Group, also of Potters Bar. In the United States, Soundcraft and Studer's products are distributed by Harman Pro North America, a subsidiary of Harman International Industries.
