Installation Case

De Montfort Hall in Leicester, UK, is a concert venue owned and funded by the Leicester City Council, offering a range of programs from jazz, ballet, comedy and opera to world and roots music, West End musicals and a superb classical program featuring the Philharmonia Orchestra. De Montfort Hall has recently installed an M7CL to be used for a variety of rock concerts and theater performances. The console was purchased from London and Birmingham based LMC Audio, who purchased ten M7CLs shortly after the launch at PLASA 2005.
De Montfort Hall's Head of Sound, Alan Smith, who first came across M7CL desks when both Bjorn Again and League of Gentleman used them at the venue, is clearly delighted with the new console. "In conjunction with our in-house PA system the results are truly impressive," he said. "It's very easy to use, in fact it's almost like an analogue desk in digital format. We've trained up 10 people to use the desk and without exception everyone walked away thinking it was a great piece of equipment. It normally takes about 5 minutes to get a handle on the desk, everything is right there in front of you," he added.
