Oy Hedom's Ari Manninen explained that versatility and reliability were strong factors in the decision-making process. "During the season there is a show every night and the place is packed out, so the desk will be working pretty hard," said Manninen. "Midas is the number one brand in the world, and the fact that Legend offers XL4 preamps and XL3 EQ in such an affordable format was a very attractive proposition. There was also the fact that it is so flexible, with the ability to handle front-of-house or monitors or both at once for occasions when no monitor engineer is present. In fact, the client asked that the console be supplied as a full touring package so that when it's not working in the Arena it can go to local festivals and other events during the summer months."
