Scene Change Expand Their Vista Family With A Vista S1

An Australian-based company with offices in all major cities, Scene Change, which bills itself as "the #2 AV company," has purchased a Jands Vista S1 console to accompany their existing Jands Vista I3 console. The Vista S1 is a small and portable control surface that's ideal if you have to travel for shows, or if your venue doesn't need lots of playbacks, or has limited space.

"We've been more than happy with our Vista I3 and it made sense to purchase another console that was already in line with what we were using," commented Jordan Renouf from Scene Change. "By adding the Vista S1 we've gained more functionality and because it is the same software as the Vista I3, the ease of usability for the guys has been very simple."

Renouf states that the surface of the Vista S1 is particularly good with a good number of playback handles for such a small surface. "Again, it has a similar surface to the Vista I3," he added. "The Vista is such an intuitive console -- easy to use and quick. Because of this intuitive design it's very quick to patch and program and have a show up and running quickly. Also, as it's designed locally, it's really easy to get someone on the phone or to answer your email quickly if you have a query."

The Vista S1 delivers five playbacks, including faders and flash buttons, a complete programming section with three encoder wheels, a rotary master fader, two LCD displays, and lots more.
