Unless you're using IEMs, in which case the potentially lower latency may be desirable.It has been repeatedly proven that there is no audible difference between 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling rates. None. And that's in a carefully controlled listening environment with high end audio equipment. Anyone that hears the difference in a sound re-enforcement system is simply deluding themselves. The M32 probably has some refinements that make it better than the X32, but the higher sampling rate is simply great marketing.
Hello all!
I am pretty new to CB I've been reading a bunch on the threads but haven't posted yet, anywho..
a local theatre venue that I have been working with for a few years is starting to look into purchasing a new digital mixing console. We currently have an ov1 96v and A: its not big enough for some of the shows we are beginning to get into; B: its starting to have issues not storing cues or recording them faders getting mis-aligned (yes it has the current firmware) C: its not user friendly enough for some of the people who come in for other shows.
I would love to hear an opinion on what you think we should get... we are looking to spend 10k or less at least 32 analog inputs, and digital expansion as we have 16 a/d inputs as well. I would prefer to have 32 faders to work with as switching layers back and forth can be confusing for some of our tech's.
I rather enjoy the Yamaha LS9 32 I've used it on a number of shows with great ease and am leaning towards that and i will say one of the biggest reasons is if for any reason something happens to it i have my show on my flashdrive and can get another mixer from 5 other companies in town in a matter of hours usually. However I am open to be persuaded or enlightened on other consoles.
Thanks,
Damien
Is yours an earlier production model? Behringer apparently had some probblems with a batch of faders that supposedly was corrected on later units.I've done a few shows on the X32, but ours keeps going back for fader replacements. I lost 3 in the middle of a 2 week run of Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Yamaha just introduced the QL series (QL Series | Mixers | Products |Alternatively, with Yamaha pushing people to buy the CL series, you might find a used M7 for your price range (32 input, maybe a deal on a 48 input), but that desk is on its way out. I don't care what the audiophiles say, I still think Yamaha is a great desk for what it is, especially monitors on an M7 or 5D. The entire lineup is a standard in the industry, and everyone knows how to run one. Plus, like you said, they're easy to rent if one takes a dive. The LS9 is borderline OK for theatre. It's fine for small shows, but the lack of VCAs really puts a crimp on what it can do.
