Paul Nardella of OTL has upgraded his lighting console to an MA Lighting International dot2 XL-F and he couldn’t be happier.
“I needed a console that would be more powerful than my previous console, yet smaller and lighter so I could easily put it on a plane,” remarked Paul. “The boys at Show Technology showed me the dot2 XL-F and the way its inbuilt effects engine works, and I was sold! It’s very, very simple to operate compared to my previous console.”
The dot2 is an affordable and practical entry into the philosophy and principals of the MA control platform, an industry leader. Paul discovered that the pricing was good and of course, the platform is rock solid.
Paul has a quick turnover of events, mainly dance parties, and so he required a console that could enable him to create a lot of big looks really quickly. He found that what had previously taken him 15 minutes to create, took a minute to generate with the dot2 XL-F.
“I can’t believe how quick and easy it is to set up the palettes and start using features like the effects engine,” said Paul. “Programming and patching is incredibly simple as the console walks you through the process step by step. When you record colour palettes, they’re already coloured for you on the screen and the multi touchscreens mean you can do different things at the same time.”
It’s not just the streamlined array of functional options that impressed Paul – being rather image conscious he admits that he also favours the sleek black and gold good looks of his dot2 XL-F!
