As part of an audio system upgrade to the 38-year-old venue, AMR was tasked with installing an affordable audio console that would have a small footprint, while still supporting a high channel count necessary for the variety of productions.
"It was important to find a system that allowed the sound crew to easily learn and quickly adapt to multiple productions," said Aaron Rudden, owner of AMR Export. "The Naparima Bowl plays host to a wide variety of programmes and the Si3 allows users to easily set and monitor levels regardless of the acts on the day-to-day schedule."
Rudden notes that the Si3's practical and intuitive operation was a big selling point, as it is also being used to train aspiring audio engineers. "It was important that the console had an analog feel to avoid the brand-propriety type, 'menu-driven' learning that detracts from what a console really does in practical use," he says. "Since installing the Si3, we have received nothing but rave reviews."
