Virginia singer/songwriter Pat McGee contracted Steve Payne and Soundworks for “Down the Hatch,” a special concert/party in the Regatta Ballroom of the Lowe’s Annapolis Hotel.
Aware of McGee’s affinity for APB-Dynasonics desks, Soundworks provided the APB ProDesk
Steve Pain of Spectrasonics commented on the cost benefits of the ProDesk, stating, “It represents less of a capital investment than the Spectra plus I don’t have to charge as much to make my money back.”
“The ProDesk lets me provide the client with the same quality that I do with a large console, but in a smaller, more cost-efficient package.
With a setup that included Turbosound Aspect speakers and Lab Gruppen amps, Soundworks used “ProDesk for FOH and Monitors on each end of the snake.”
Said Payne, “Bryan Hargrave, Pat’s monitor engineer, loved it too.”
Asked about how the show with McGee and his 5-piece band turned out, Payne stated, “It went fantastic. I was the system tech and Pat had his own engineer, Paul Self. Paul had used the Spectra before and absolutely loved it. As it turned out, he ended up loving the ProDesk just as much.”
