We are starting to look at new sound boards, and we really don't do enough shows to justify a digital console nor do we have the budget to get one.
So im wondering, what are the best brands, or even specific consoles as far as analog mixing goes? I ask because I have only ever used mini Behringer ones and some full size Mackies, I like Mackies, but that is because ive never used anything different though.
We need at least a 24 channel, anything above that would be over kill for our setup. 7 total area mics, and 10 wireless. And we have one open channel and two reserved for the other mics inputs around the theatre if needed.
We currently have a Mackie VLZ 24-4 so we are used to having two line inputs, a CD and the other is usually a 1/8'' end for ipods/laptops etc.
Im thinking, Allen & Heath or Sound Craft? But again, I don't really know.
Something with effects would be nice, and some other processing, as the current board has none, and whats the point of getting a board that does the same thing
