After reading your post, checked ebay and Thomann for that mixer, but nothing was found. |

I've heard many outfits using A&H 14:4:2 & Mackie 1642 VLZ Pro, and they sounded great on small or large systems. So if I can't find alternate product with same features & sound quality for specific budget, I'll just get one of the above. No point spending big money on analogue mixer, when they are slowly becoming obsolete. |

You seriously limit your choices with strict budget limits like that but I guess you could find Crest XR20 / X20R (the updated version) for that price. APB Prorack if analogue and budget not problem.

Ok, understood. I just mentioned it because a guy I know who has a small sound system uses one and loves it. It also has some unusual features, like the Firewire thing.

Have you looked at the Phonic Helix Board24? Not as good as the A&H, but should be within your budget.

If I could locate A&H Mixiz 14:4:2 WZ3 for approx £350, that would be interesting.
If not, looks like Mackie 1642VLZ, or Soundcarft Signature 16.. Unless there are other < £500 used desks out there, with 16 channels. 4 groups. And rack mountable, in standard 19" 12u case. Edited by levyte357- - 21 December 2016 at 9:42pm |

"The days of Mixxwhizz etc are gone! Got 2 here that just sit in the shelf all year round."
If you want, I´ll take them off your hands and free up the shelf space. |

Used my trusty mixwizard at the weekend and have to admit I preferred using it much more than all the digital desks I used throughout the week - which was quite a few.
Yeah it's slightly more effort with the stage snake and patching outboard but feels good to not be looking at screens and have lots of buttons to push and pots to turn :) The great thing is outboard is coming down is price used so you can get some excellent stuff like distressors and tube comps cheap! Equivalents to look at I guess are soundcraft GB and LX7, Midas Venice, DDA or if you want budget; Behringer whatever (yuck!). Stretch to new stuff and I would definitely be looking at cadac live1 series :) |

The Soundcraft LX7 is a nice sounding, very flexible desk if you prefer analogue. You can get a well cared for one in a flightcase for under £500 on ebay.
