Members loudsubz Posted July 30, 2013 Members Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade my mixer. I have a behringer xenyx 802, while it works fine I may want to move up to a few more inputs, and have xlr output instead of 1/4" only. I have been looking at a few used pieces and see some soundcraft (epm8) and some older yamaha and mackies. Would any of them be a good buy or is there some to stay away from?

Members Bobby1Note Posted July 30, 2013 Members Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've got a few of the Soundcraft small-format boards, and think they're very good value for money spent. My EFX-8 has been a lil' workhorse for over 6 years now; it sounds good, and is very reliable. The MFXi-8 was my latest small-format mixer purchase, and it adds several features/advantes over the EFX-8. Either one would probably serve you quite well. Depends on the application.

Members Miko Man Posted July 30, 2013 Members Share Posted July 30, 2013 What is your budget and input channel count need? Mark C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted July 30, 2013 Members Share Posted July 30, 2013 Do you need EFX? Do you want faders or pots - or does it matter? Is the mixer for a single, duo, a four piece band....? Is the mixer routing to powered speakers, or a nearby power amp or ? Is XLR a want or a need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loudsubz Posted July 30, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2013 My budget is likely around $150 to $200, don't think I need any FX. I will mainly have 2 feeds into it, 1 or 2 mics and would like to have a 3rd and 4th mic input as spare and maybe a 3rd aux input just in case so 8 proper channels. Fader or pots doesn't really matter. Would like to have a proper vu meter with more range so I can really see where my signal is. It will be feeding my drpa+ with passive speakers.
