As with most things technological, the ability to perform digital processing continues to become cheaper as semiconductors drop in price, and accordingly digital desks are no longer the preserve of the major league, but are available in more compact versions and making in-roads into the smaller shows and venues. L&SI's article will go some way to giving the reader an insight into this technology, explaining the processes, methods and terminology - and will be followed by a brief profile of the main manufacturers and coverage of their key product(s).
L&SI will be approaching leading manufacturers over the coming days to source information for the article; however, in the meantime, if you feel that you should be a part of this feature, please contact technical editor James Eade at the e-mail address below. Please note that the article covers FOH/Monitor and similar desks only, rather than DSP units that can emulate a desk via a computer. Please also remember that inclusion in this article is free - the aim is to raise awareness of the various manufacturers and products in this market sector.
