This includes a fleet of mixers to meet all budgets and demands. "For example we will typically use Soundcraft 16-channel EFX mixers for weddings and speakers - however, when we recently did Swansea Uni summer ball, with 4,000 people and three stages, we provided two Soundcraft Vi1 digital desks on the main stage."
Having just celebrated 10 years in the business, Chris Hooke's relationship with Soundcraft's new generation models began with the purchase of an Si Compact 24, and in April last year the company took delivery of its first Vi1. Exactly 12 months to the day, the company's second Vi1 arrived, along with the new popular, portable 19in rack-mount Soundcraft Si Expression 1.
"In the past year we have invested sensibly with Soundcraft," said Hooke. "We receive great service from both Soundcraft themselves and Sound Technology [the UK and Eire distributors], and that's one of the reason we went with them. When needed a 16-channel digital desk, and were considering the Si Compact 16 they made us aware of the new Expression."
