More details from Jands (www.jands.com/vista):
After purchase from Jands, the L5 flew into Perth to be prepped by the CCPWA crew, and soon turned around and was put a plane to Brisbane, where it kicked off on U.K. metal band Bring Me The Horizon’s national tour. As that tour finished up, the desk went straight over to U.S. rockers Fall Out Boy for another lap of the nation.
“It was a good month and half before it came back” Sean continued, ‘and it’s had nothing but praise from all the LDs who’ve used it.” User feedback coming into CCPWA has repeatedly highlighted the L5’s intuitive operation and great operating system. Sean concurs; “I’m a grandMA operator, and I find the Vista L5 completely intuitive.”
One of the big hits with operators is the generous 21-inch, 1920×1080 resolution TFT screen. “It’s one of the biggest visual surfaces on the market” agreed Sean. “There’s not many other consoles that have a better work surface.”
After doing two tours of duty, bouncing around Australia’s highways on trucks, the L5 finally made it home in fine working order, ready to go out again almost immediately. “We’ve only had it back for four weeks” explained Sean, “and it’s done three shows during that time.”
With the busy Christmas and New Year period, the L5 is still out working hard for CCP. Early in 2014 it will be showing its versatility by working on an opera. Looks like the warehouse crew won’t be seeing much of this workhorse at all in the near future.
