Marquee Audio Matchmakes with Canegreen

Staying within their tried-and-tested PM digital format, top London rental company Canegreen has taken delivery of a new Yamaha PM5D console from Marquee Audio.

Already used on the Radio 2 Folk Awards and the advertising industry's annual NABS charity event, the PM5D is now heading out across the UK on tour with Michael McDonald after which it travels to South America with Placebo. According to Canegreen’s Pete Hughes, this is exactly the work profile that this dainty 48-channel mixer is best suited for.

“Marquee Audio has already supplied us with two Yamaha PM1Ds, which are all-singing, all-dancing mixers but fairly bulky nevertheless. The compact footprint of the PM5D is much more conducive to awards ceremonies and small tours, and, because it’s a stand-alone model, it slots easily into any analogue system, which gives us great flexibility.

“We wanted a smaller desk with a digital brain, so we went straight for the PM5D model. Since all our staff are very happy with the PM1Ds, it made sense to stay with the format. Obviously the PM5D doesn't have quite the same functionality, but once you get used to it, it's fantastic. As good as, if not better than, the PM4000. All the gates and compressors and EQ are in the desk, and I love the new inputs on it.”

In recent months, Marquee Audio has also supplied Yamaha PM5D consoles to Jackson Post and Plus 4 Audio, both high-profile live TV specialists, and to the current tour by Status Quo.
