I was told they're made in China rather poorly (they're
effect units are made in Germany). I love the in-line
monitoring on the Eurodesk, but has anyone pushed one
off the table or dropped it out of their truck and see if
it will still work? A Mackie would...Features don't mean
shit if the fucker goes down when you need it. Just
wondering if anyone has had "hands on" with one of these
boards?

..we were always throwing our desks off trucks,...
.kicking the desk up & down the road.....
dropping it off stages etc etc......and of course ...we never used any flight cases (!!!).

in my decision, although the 16 input,2 buss, $259 model might be good for using
for a keyboard mixer. Has anyone checked out the Carvin boards? I got a factory
catalog a few weeks ago and although I've heard to stay away from their power amps
I haven't heard anything about the 16 channel, I think 26 input, 4 buss board that
they offer for $899US. It has DSP on board as well! Hell, Gregg Allman had his
picture taken with one!(YeeeeeHaw!) The newer Yamaha boards are suppose to be DAW
friendly as well as wallet friendly. Any comments?

1) Experienced mixers...for dance does swept mid EQ make a signficant difference?
2) What do you think are the pros/cons of buying a mixer S/H?
I'm looking at the Mackie 1404 ( new) at 399UKP. I don't want to spend more than 400UKP max but I do want the best I can get for the money (obviously).
What are your thoughts....?
Thanks

Spirit F1 vs Mackie 1402 VLZ?
Which one would you choose for a midi setup?
