V4lve Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi. Am looking for a small portable mixer to use in church for a music group. Needs to be pretty flexible (up to 12 inputs of various types), sophisticated enough to compress vocals, gate channels etc, easy enough to use by occasional users and robust enough to survive being stuffed chuck into cupboards etc when not in use. Budget probably up to three hundred quid . Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinman Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) We use a Yamaha MG166C which has been pretty good. 10 Mic inputs, first 6 with compressors plus a few other line and stereo inputs. Can be had for about £270 new. Edited January 24, 2010 by thinman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get a behringer xenyx like a 1202FX (or similar) mixer as I've been really impressed with them (despite the usual behringer bashing), and a rack compressor like an alesis 3630 or a behringer one - you could alway stick it in a rack with a top bit to rack the mixer, then it would be well protected.

V4lve Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks all. Might take a look at the Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
