That's what I'm waiting too, no need to be afraid of that dream stuff. As everyone can see, my own gear is much, much more "realistic"

See Cadac desks a lot in the west end.  That or DiGiCo SD7Ts.  Become more popular with certain sound designers now.  Turning up in quite a lot of productions.

Various combinations but...
 
or
 
(more side of house in that instance)
 
teamed with :
 
 
A+H gl4000 or the Gl2200 in the second pic
 
Often use an o1v96, Promix01, LS9 or M7 as well - without outboard but still use a Sabine.

Nice Cadac! Using in a theatre venue?


Helsinki City Theatre. More I use that thing the more I love it, also the more I do mainteinance on it, the more I love it, oddly LOL

Some gear listing for gearsluts:

Cadac J mk2 three frame system currently loaded with 59 programmable dual preamp mono input modules, 20 stereo input modules,
20 motor input faders, fully programmable 16x32 digitally controlled analogue matrix, 15 DCA (VCA) faders out of which 6 are with motors.
10 mono auxes, 1 stereo aux. Four PSUs, two Seance interfaces, two SAM computers.

Effect playback is done with Stage Reseach SFX software running redundantly in paraller on two computers with four RME Fireface 800s.
Cadac triggers effects via MIDI. There are 8 stereo channels reserved in the console for SFX.

Band reverb and master bus (multiband) compressing is handled by two TC M5000 that also are controlled by Cadac via MIDI.

For bands we also have 2 DBX 160SL, Tubetech LCA 2B and Drawmer 1960.

Vocal reverbs, delays and (again multiband) bus compressing are done with TC M6000, also controlled by Cadac.
M6000 AD/the is handled by RME ADI-8 QS.

Additional vocal inserts are SPL De-esser, XTA D2, two Drawmer De-essers and two Empirical Labs Lil'Freqs. Vocal bus delaying (positioning on the stage)
is done with three XTA DP224s, controlled by Cadac.

We also have TC D-Two, TC Fireworx, TC 2290, Eventide H3000 and two DBX 120's ready for use if required, controlled by Cadac where possible.

Few years ago we ran out of input channels in the console, so we expanded it with API 8200 line mixers and two API 3124mb+ quad mic preamps.

System processing is done with six Meyer Galileos controlled by Meyer Compass software. Main part of system comprises of
18 Meyer CQ-1's and four 700-HP's. There are some 60 speakers installed in the space.

Subs are AUX-fed in three groups, Stage back, Proscenium and under seating. DBX subharmonizers, if in use, are usually also fed from auxes,
patched back to the console and then driven through auxes to subs.

All the digital gear with WC in is clocked by Anteloop Audio world clock.


*phew*
Needless to say, I consider myself quite lucky. The sound designers know their stuff, there are some nice big musicals and some proper quality
drama stuff going on that stage. With that gear, insane talent and experience in the sound team and nice acoustics it is pure heaven most of the time.

A very nice set up. I have recently started working in theatre just love using high end gear such as tube compressors and etc! I recently went to a major theatre hire company they had a cupboard full of J type channel strips.

I've never taken a picture of my setup. Here are some that others have taken













Desk is an Allen & Heath GL2200-24, rack now contains TC M-one xl, Lexicon MPX100, DBX 166xl, berry multicomp and multigate, 2x BSS Opal graphics (for monitors). The Ultradrive and Ultracurve now reside in a smaller rack. Ultradrive will be replaced when I find a reasonably priced XTA graphic....

This setup does quite well for my use, it will cope with anything from pub gigs to 5/6 band events in 1000 capacity venues and small outdoor stages. I can even lift it all by myself!
Blahblahblah

haha, actually an awesome set! It's proper rock, not a synth in sight!
Also swears a lot and abuses the audience something chronic :)
