Euroconsole

Launched after Phil Dudderidge's Focusrite Audio Engineering took over from the liquidated Focusrite Ltd., the Euroconsole was the "World Class, Not World Standard" mid-size Focusrite — the same hand-built ethos as the Studio Console in a frame that could be expanded as client needs grew. At £165,000 it remained well above the mass-market desks, but came with Focusrite's signal-path pedigree, moving-fader automation as standard, and ergonomic design targeted at producers who needed the Focusrite sound without the ten-console-per-career exclusivity of the bespoke Studio Console. Focusrite later used the same platform philosophy to seed the ISA console and its descendants.
