new mixing desk
new mixing desk
Jul 05 2003 i got my new (to me) mixing desk the other day... its an allen & heath system 8. its a 16:8:2
i'm stoked on the 8 buses!.. it was designed for recording into an 8 track recorder (which is perfect as i have 8 inputs on my echo layla).

but!!!!!!!!! the idiot who packed it decided to put the huge rackmount powersupply in the case with it.. buncha shit got broken (one of the faders busted completely off).. so off to the repair shop..

also i don't think the VUs are working either! ARVHHHGHGH

haha! no way, man. aside from a little dust in the faders, and a couple of burned out bulbs in the meter bridge, it was workin' fine!

sorry to hear she's sick . . . good luck!

This Allen & Heath mixer is one of the best desks Iīve ever worked with!!! I had it for years, and I loved it!! It has one of the best sounding EQ ever made! I sold it to get an Mackie 32 desk. After a few month I had to get it back because of the incredible sound you can produce with it. The Mackie is gone as fast as it came ;-). The craftmenship of this mixer is incredible too (I own the 2416) it is built like a tank!!! :-) over 50 KG without the powersupply. By the way, my desk has the original power supply which isnīt 19". It is a very small thing and very handy.
Donīt do the same mistake I did:
NEVER SELL THIS BABY! NEVER EVER !!!!

wow.. thanks for justifying my purchase.

it does sound sweet... i love it.. i use it alot.. everything now goes through the desk for a mix out of my computer..

but i have the huge 4U powersupply (looks like it'll power four more things anyway)
