It is a lovely soft sounding desk and it responds beautifully. With many other digital consoles I have used, you would have perhaps one channel you could work on at a time. But with the SD7 you can see 24 at a time. To need any more than that in front of you, you would have to be an octopus. It is more than enough to give you the feel of an analogue console. I am absolutely in love with it.

Acoustically the D1 is far, far better than anything I’ve used to date. At the end of this we will have a nice bank of settings that we can transfer into Gary’s shows at a later stage, whether we use a D5 or a D1.

The flexibility of the digital system is great. I was sold with the SD8’s 12 VCAs, 24 Stereo Busses plus Left/Right or LCR ;and a 12x12 Matrix (now 16x12). I also really like having a board that has internal bus routing. But the sonic quality I thought was the best. I work at another church as an engineer on a Profile, and right off the bat, the SD8 had better sonic quality.

Having seen the console in action, I decided that the SD8 would take Eagle Brook into the future. The SD8 has a much warmer sound than our previous console, but perhaps the best feature I appreciate is the ability to link all three consoles together. We used to have a lot of issues with the A-to-D and D-to-A conversion, whether that was for our recording process or in our broadcast suite. Now with a frame surface dropped into our master control room, having the ability to access both frames and grab inputs from either makes for a very powerful tool.
