"This follows the success we had with the standard 328s, which were used with Stereo MCs and PJ Harvey - including her UK and US tour," commented Rabel. Top band Coldplay are another to take advantage of a new 328XD to mix down hard disk and samplers for live work, before transferring to the main console. So Solid Crew have similarly been using the 328XD. "Coldplay are currently using a 328XD and 8 way mic/line expander for live touring work," confirmed Dick. "They have been using these components since they commenced their current touring schedule, including their Glastonbury headline."
The latest generation of the 328 architecture, the 328XD digital mixing console incorporates dynamics processing on every channel, group and mix path, and has broadened the desk’s functionality - from straight sound mixing to production and control of sequencers and desktop synths.
