"We wanted a console that would be more hands on than the Yamaha consoles as far as the crossover between digital and analogue," commented Frank Meany, managing director of One Vision. "Basically we wanted a console with knobs on it as opposed to a console with buttons and scrolling pages of menus, it's more intuitive.
Frank and his team have found their Soundcraft Si Compact consoles to be very powerful and they are particularly impressed by the console's sound, with Frank remarking that it sounds more like an analogue console than other digital consoles.
"We purchased a digital multicore for them which makes a huge difference being able to patch things around and also having the soft patch on it," added Frank. "I am however a bit sad that the Soundcraft Si Performers were not available at the time we bought them - a simple lighting console built into the desk would have been great! Maybe next time."
