Greenroom Productions purchases Si Performer 2
Published: ASIA
AUSTRALIA: Greenroom Productions has purchased a Soundcraft Si Performer 2 and Vi Stagebox from Australian distributor, Jands. Greenroom supplies all of the in-house audio and lighting equipment to Canberra’s ANU bar as well as other small events around the city.
‘We use the Soundcraft Si Performer 2 at the ANU bar as a foldback console,’ remarked Garry Peadon of Greenroom Productions. ‘Chris Neal at Canberra’s Eclipse Lighting and Sound owns a Soundcraft Si Performer 2. He told me how good it was and that was good enough for me. They know their stuff and if they say something is good, you know it is. It also stood apart from its competitors because you could expand it.
‘At first I wasn’t too sure of it because, as I’m not familiar with the console, I found it difficult to navigate,’ he added honestly. ‘However it sounds fantastic. The compressors, gates and EQs all sound amazing.’
Having now had time to familiarise himself with the new desk, he has discovered several benefits along the way.
‘The expansion is really good and I like that it’s got local inputs and that I can run 60-odd channels from the Stagebox,’ he added. ‘It’s also nicely compact so it’s easy to transport. I am going to get the recording output card for it so it can multi-track through the hard drive.’
