I was asked for recommendations for a sound setup at my town's intermediate school. They currently have speakers and an amp connected to a cd player and a wireless mic. To run a show we usually run XLRs right into the amp then a snake to the back of the house. They want to be able to run sound without needing a complex setup and not have to borrow a board ect.
I went to AES to take a look at what they could get. I found the Fostex LR16 mixer and it looks perfect for the application. You install a stage box backstage then the board is basically just a controller that runs over Cat5, so they wouldn't have to buy a snake. Then if they run a line to the back of the house they would just need to connect one wire and they would be setup. It also has a built in hard drive and can record the mix or each track.
I was wondering how Fostex's products are and if they're is anything that would be better.
