Shez Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 It's not a bad idea to hire one out if you get the chance. From the right place, you may get the hire fee knocked off the purchase price should you choose to buy one from them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidRay Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Probably not quite what you're looking for, but I have a Behringer MX8000 for sale in the classified section, it's not flightcased, but it does have 100mm faders and 4 band EQ and it's cheap!

revbobuk Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 If you can find one, the Behringer MX3282 (not in current production) is a good value live mixer, and while not in the same league as the A&H or others mentioned, serves us pretty well. It has 8 aux outs, 8 subgroups plus L&R out, and doesn't bother with poor quality built-in effects. Longer faders too. We got our from eBay at around £200, and have been very pleased with it. It does have an external rackmount PSU to find room for. Take a look at some good pictures on this current eBay sale: item number 250315175078 (not connected with me, just happened to pop up on a search.)

nothingatall666 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Harry, was thatnew or ex demothen? OK I admit it was urm... 3rd hand :) , but it was(and still is) in practically new condition. You can do my shopping any time, nothingatall666. A new 24 channel ML3000 goes for around £3500 before you case it. sure, although my shopping took around 2 months to find :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Bishop Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have a behringer SL2442FX-PRO, it does the job, is cheap but has a few quirks that you have to get used to, but after that it's fine. At school, we have a Yamaha MG32/14FX which is very good, costs between £600 and £700 if I remember correctly. 6 auxs, 4 subs, two inbuilt good quality efx units. I would personally reccomend it if you have the funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervaka Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 can I recommend the A&H ZED428/436? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyP1955 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I like both A&H and Soundcraft. I prefer the master layout of the A&H. The big thing for me though is that the A&H's low mid sweeps down to 35Hz. This comes in very handy both for cutting bumps, and for dialing in sub-lows without getting the mud that one gets when using the bass control (which says 60 or 80, but also gives a lot of boost as high as 200 or more). The Mackie Onxy is also good, but I prefer the A&H. OR, get a 01V/96 and some Behringer preamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
