Hi,
We are buying a new mixer for our new church building, currently have Mackie 1604. Probably need 24 channels minimum, 32 would be better. So for the sake of this discussion, I will compare three boards, all 32ish channels.
A&H 2400-32 - $2500
A&H ZED 436 - $2000
Yamaha MG32/14FX - $1100
Biggest concern with the Yamaha is the lack of individual phantom power for condenser mics, and the pre-amps look weak (require a pad key). USB on the ZED is nice, lots of inputs. How often would the polarity switches and noise generators be used on the GL2400?
I highly doubt I will get the Yamaha. The 2400 and ZED share the same EQ, pre-amps are different. Is the 2400 worth the money compared to the ZED?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.
