Mixer advice please
Posted: 02 Feb 2022
Hi folks.
After a failed experiment to expand my Focusrite 18i8 with an ADAT expander, I am going to buy a mixer to feed multiple synths into a single input.
Would appreciate any experiences or views on these brands or models, which are within my budget; (about $400 NZD / $200-250 USD)
ALTO PROFESSIONAL ZMX122FX
BEHRINGER 1002B XENYX or QX1622USB XENYX
BEHRINGER RX1602V2 RACKMOUNT MIXER
8-CHANNEL ULTRA COMPACT MIXER
MACKIE PROFX6 V3 6 CH 2 MIC PRE PROFESSIONAL EFFECTS MIXER
Looking for line level (don't need preamps) inputs for synths only, low noise, no frills (although if onboard reverb/delay FX are good quality then that'd be nice) and good matching to my focusrite inputs (I really get confused with impedance matching, balanced/unbalanced etc).
I'm leaning towards the MACKIE 802-VLZ4 which seems to get good reviews, nobody complaining of build quality, etc.
Any advice or experiences appreciated!!
thanks!
