Looks like I need to read this thread :frowning: my tapco mixer has just died. I will be operating on it tonight, hopefully I can ressurect it.

I’m really liking my Mackie 1202, but I feel like I need maybe 1/3 of what it does. I will continue to wish there were something smaller that could manage two send/returns. And mono is fine by me, even though I’d eventually grow out of it, I imagine.

Yeah, perhaps it’s most useful if treated it as a mono mixer and the pan knob as the effect send, sacrificing one of the channels for effects return. Btw the main outs have stereo plugs, and can be modded to output the mono signal on both channels (for a “stereo” monitor mix, for example).

Perhaps the inserts make more sense with the channel link feature (create an effected version of the signal on the adjacent channel).

I saw this for sale in Berlin. Maybe it’s interesting for some of you:

it’s not so cheap but I love the VCAmatrix, you can route anything anywhere and control the volume of each interconnection by an external input like an lfo

Can anyone ID the small mixer here (next to the Moog - looks like maybe it uses tubes)?

There’s a couple close-ups on in throughout the interview, but I still can’t figure out what it is. Maybe he built it himself…

Funny, I didn’t even read the interview, but noticed that and was curious just from the picture as it has been popping up.

Are those six (6) VU meters on the front of that mixer?

#482

Can’t tell if VU meters or tubes

Oh snap! I guess that explains why he also an A&H mixer…

Someone should design a mixer that looks like that tho! :laughing: :sweat_smile:

Hi, I have one of these Sony mixers, bought originally for our congregation in `72. It still works perfectly and as for the batteries - they were replaced in 20011 (!) although usage has been minimal. It is a marvellous little machine and, at least you know that no mains ripple is coming from it!

FYI the infamous Praga mixer modules by XOAC are actually now available…

I’ve realized over the last few months that I really want an outboard mixer more than a euro module (hence I’m selling my eurorack mixer). That’s partly because I’ve fallen in love with Ciat-Lonbarde devices and want a mixer that works for eurorack, line, and mic inputs together.

Now the hunt is on and it’s surprisingly hard… What I really want is a Mackie 1604-VLZ without the EQ or busses. 12 - 16 inputs, 4 aux sends, faders, mutes…

if it doesn’t need to be hauled around, nor to be inexpensive, i’d look into broadcast consoles which tend to abstract away unnecessary features like EQs. There are so many out there, one will probably have the right combination of perks (Studer 1500 ?).
Otherwise, with that much inputs and aux, it’s easily in the domain of live PA mixers, meaning EQs and groups are an obligatory feature.
