By Strother Bullins
I've come to expect the unexpected from Line 6, a pro audio company with an overall design philosophy that, first and foremost, serves musician end-users. From their first incarnation of the POD digital guitar amp modeler in the late '90s to their 2010 entree to live sound, their XD Digital Wireless line, Line 6 has well served those not tied to the traditional standards of legacy pro audio equipment.
The StageScape M20d live sound mixer is another Line 6 innovation of that kind; at first glance, it's nothing like the channel-stripped mixers of old. Unique and high-tech sexy, it is streamlined, largely naked of knobs and buttons and provides no vertical faders. Paired with complimentary Line 6 StageSource loudspeakers, is built to do things that traditional portable PA rigs do not, such as provide touchscreen visual-based mixing; multichannel recording with soundcheck loop capabilities; comprehensive iPad remote control; auto-sensing I/O; loads of DSP power; and much more, all in an intelligent, digitally- networked rig.

"In the months leading up to the show we had strong pre- registration numbers and were on target for at least 14,000 people," reports AES Executive Director Bob Moses. "The Exhibition Hall was packed on Saturday, but Hurricane Sandy took a lot of wind out of our sails. People fled for the airport on Sunday and Monday as flights were canceled around the country. In the end, some 11,000 attendees turned out, reflecting strong pre-registration but disappointing onsite sales. On the bright side, we were very happy with attendance in the inaugural Project Studio Expo—1,680 people, nearly double what we anticipated." More » | | | | | | |
