Every major project a company works on requires a significant sound system. Companies have a dilemma over whether the console should be Analog or Digital. So what’s the right choice for your application?
There is no correct answer. There are several differences between them. The digital board has the possibility to have endless functions needed, such as digital effects, scenes, outputs multiple auxiliaries, processors, multiple equalizers, etc. The digital console becomes more cost competitive as we move up on larger frame boards. At the end of the day, a digital console will probably cost less than an analog one.
As for the analog boards, the functions are limited according to the manufacturer, model, material, price, etc. Affordable boards will bring scarcity of functions and quality of construction based on their price. There are currently thousand of brands that manufacture consoles that are easy to operate and less expensive.
The choice of selecting the right board should be based on your
past, present and future needs. There are no standards in terms of choice
of the board, nor to their application. What is the right choice for your application?
Well, it depends. Anyone who is in the market for a new mixing console needs to consider all of the pros and cons. If you have questions about consoles feel free to reach out to me anytime.
