Yamaha aids Eclipse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

For their summer show ‘Eclipse’ at Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s Globe Theatre, production company Stageworks chose to use a Yamaha DM2000 for the sound-mixing desk. The world-famous leisure complex decided to purchase the DM2000 because they needed a desk that offered multiple outputs and inputs, and gave the flexibility of choice for onboard and outboard effects. "We scouted around for a mixing desk that would meet our particular requirements," said Vinnie Holme of Stageworks: "We needed a desk that would give us playback with live vocal, and with a minimum of 8 outputs. With the DM2000 we can e-cue each track and the whole desk can, if necessary, be run by an operator. It gives significantly improved sound and is exactly what we wanted for the show."

In the event, the DM 2000, supplied by The Music Company of Bradford in conjunction with LMC Audio Systems, is configured to provide 16 outputs and accesses a hard drive holding 4 different versions of the show to cope with changes of artist. "It’s an unusual application," said Graham Allen, director of sales at LMC Audio Systems: "Not many DM’s have yet found their way into high level visitor number attractions, but the DM2000 is just ideal for this type of application and I expect to see more and more in similar situations."
