The DP448 meant that Wooster did not have to reconfigure the front of house desk each day, as integrating into the available system was easily done by turning it into a glorified matrix mixer, providing extra EQ and delay settings.
"At one show, there were two front of house consoles and they refused to make mine the main desk," recalls Wooster. "So as a compromise we put both desks into the XTA and used it as a summing mixer. This meant that both desks connected directly to the PA, instead of one going through the other. It gave us two inputs, saved an argument and made it work for both bands because they each had separate EQ over the front end of the PA, which was distributed via the XTA."
