s webb Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 wondering what type of line mixers everyone is using for playing live. I went from using one keyboard thru a DI box to go thru our snake to our mixing console. I added another keyboard and once they come out with the motif es rack I am going to add that also....but want to submix. Right now I am using a spare behringer board that I had and going out the xlr out to the snake (basically to submix my keyboards)...but would like to purchase a single rack space unit that I can put in my rack (I sing and play saxophone and use wireless units and they are in a rack...when I get the motif rack it'll be in there to..._)anyway, did some searching on ebay and only could find units with trs outs...but no rack mounts w/ xlr outs. Any ideas. I could by an adapter plug...but playing live and hooking up fast and tearing down fast...those adapters always seem to get lost...please help.

Deepness Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hey SWebb...just curious. What group do you play with? I saw Joe Metzga a month ago, and there was a sax player there (playing keys as well) who SMOKED! Was that you? If so, I think you just did some recording at a studio my good friend, Steve Nelson, owns. I'm the keyboard player for JammSammich...let me know who you are! See ya! - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebonn Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Chek out a Yamaha MV802 keyboard mixer. It's a great sounding and cheap rackmount mixer that can usually be found on ebay. I use one for my DAW setup. www.blairsdevillestudios.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windreaper Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Behringer RX1602 is a single rack space unit and has worked for me for a while (it's not too noisy either). No XLR, I'm afraid, so you need to use some other rack equipment for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 1U and has a monitor send and an effects send/receive that I use for my wah pedal. Moved to this from an MV802 a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefunk Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 The Yamaha MG16-6FX and MG16, MG12 are all excelelnt mixers. The MG16-6FX has built in FX... I've been using this with my 600W HK Audio PA, and I've no complaints... just unbelievable value for money. I had a SECK 24:2 in the 80s and that was around £1000 or so, this £225 Yamaha kicks its arse in so many ways. http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/e-gakkinet/img1007458816.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I use an ancient Roland M-120. Bought a Rane SM-82 recently but the gain is way lower than the Roland so I'm sticking with that one.

Single rack space, two sends, internal power supply, extremely clean (for live use at least), balanced outs, and (very important) a separate 'monitor return' circuit with its own level control. Oh, and hedadphone out with separate volume control. It has all I need for live use, no need to change for something more current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakit Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I use a Berhinger 1U line mixer myself. Paid little, use it a lot. Never had a problem. Here's a link to the one I bought: Eurorack about $100 http://media.zzounds.com/media/brand,zzounds/RX1602_big-27b297026f3763d0b0b801c80c7da102.jpg Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s webb Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Thanks everyone....i am researching the mv-802 and have also looked at the eurorack. I am also looking at the Alesis MultiMix 12R Mixer. Steve...I am the lead singer for a country/southern rock band called Hazzard County. I also play keys,sax, and acoustic with them...I was with them for a few years, then quit and recently rejoined the group after the summer. I teach piano, saxophone, and voice lessons at Don's Musicland. I know of Joe Metzka, but have never played music with him. Hope to meet you sometime.

SoundEngine.com Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 The Eurorack is indeed an excellent option. I just wish Mackie still made the LM-2304.
