"I was pretty much brought up on MA consoles; my very first professional job was at Cromer
Pier Pavilion Theatre with a grandMA1 light which I believe is still in use! opens White-Robinson.
When I went to university, I purchased a 2 port node and that quickly became
the standard control along with OnPC. Since then, I have used a grandMA2 on numerous
occasions but the company has never been in the position to purchase one. Then I heard about the dot2.
White-Robinson visited the Ambersphere stand at PLASA Focus in Leeds and spoke to Thor Andre
from the Ambersphere Technical Sales team. We did a demo for Francis at the show which really impressed him,
explains Andre, and then chatted on the phone about the various options that were available in the dot2 range. He went for the dot2 XL-F which
is the core console plus a fader wing."
I was immediately struck by the MA characteristics on the dot2, continues White- Robinson.
If you are familiar with a grandMA2 then the dot2 functions are instantlyrecognisable. It is so user friendly and allows our clients to, very rapidly, get a good looking show up and running–in many of our events the window for any sort of rehearsal time is very limited. The consoles flexibility has provided us with solutions we hadnt thought possible. For example, at a recent conference the client asked for the main room to be splitin two and run as two rooms with very different looks. After programming each room on the XF, we were able to network a fader wing onto the other side of the room and allowboth rooms to be run independently of what is, effectively, one desk. Our freelancers find ita joy to use!
From the moment I first spoke to Thor, Amberspheres service has been exceptional, concludes White-Robinson.
Thor has been consistently responsive and helpful. The sale was concluded efficiently without any hassle but of course Amberspheres service doesnt end there and I feel we have established a very positive working relationship. Thisexperience has led us to consider in investing in some of their other brands - Ayrtons MagicBlades for example - as soon as BGLX is in a position to expand its inventory.
