It's not Drugs and Rock'n'Roll but it does have lots of sex - I'm the courtroom audio engineer at the Jodi Arias trial in Phoenix. I work for what used to be CourtTV, later TruTV In Session and now HLN. This is the first trial that I have used the DL-1608 and, after 4+ months of using it in live television, I'm very pleased. My other console is a Yamaha LS9-16, which is an awesome board, but space and cable run restrictions on this trial forced me to try something different. I have 14 small condenser mics placed around the courtroom and direct inputs from the house PA system and the evidence feed. The demands of live tv are such that reliability is paramount and, since the viewership and ratings on this trial have been huge, there are millions of ears on my work each day.
I chose the DL on a leap of faith that it would do what I needed to get the job done and I have not been disappointed.
