Getting ready to do the first full CD project for a band at my
place (done some demos, but not a complete CD yet), and I'm
thinking of getting one of these little 16-channel Mixwizards,
mainly for grouping toms to a L/R mix, but perhaps also for EQ-
ing kick & snare on the way in before they hit the convertors
(prolly use Audix D6 & i5 on kick & snare, respectively, through
the Chandler TG2 or G.R. MP2NV, then run the signal through the
A&H's line-in's & direct-outs into the convertors after EQ-ing).
So, I'm not looking for anything with a ton of channels, just a
few damn good ones. :)
Anyway, I've used an A&H live desk before quite a bit, and it
was a damn good console - sounded great - but have not touched
one of theirs in about 15 years... anyone have any experience
with these? Any good? Not so much?
I'm leaning towards the Brits on this one because I do NOT want
anything named "Mackie", and in my experience, Yammy stuff
never seems to have enough headroom, and also because Rupert
Neve's Portico console isn't out yet. :D
Might be a good little monitor/cue mixer, too.
Whaddya think?
Neil

I've logged a few hours with that model, but it's been a few years. It was
more british than a Mackie of the same ilk, not surprisingly. Not that it
may matter unless you're buying used, but I was not impressed with it's road
worthyness. EQ is wider than a VLZ. Headroom seemed ok, but not up to large
console standards IMO. It was a far cry from say a GL series, but you get
what you pay for yano?
