Members FUBTAG Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Good afternoon, I am a normal resident of the Electric Guitar board, but I have a question for the sound guys in the know! I know that Carvin has a 12 channel powered mixer, but I can't seem to find another one anywhere.. Sam Ash, Guitar Center and Musicians Friend all carry up to 8 channel (Such as the Soundcraft GigRac 1000). My band currently uses a piece meal set up that sounds great but just too much to set up anymore. 16 channel Soundcraft mixer, a power amp for the mains, one for the monitors, outboard effects, 2 2x15 columns. I forget the name of the amps... they are oldies but goodies! I am just looking for some real world opinions... what are you guys using, and what do you like best?

Members twostone Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Why limit yourself with 1 powered mixer get a decent board such as A&H Yamaha, Soundcraft or a Peavey then buy a decent amp most folks recommend QSC then you can expand as the bands grows and start playing bigger venues just my 2 cents worth.

That's what we have currently .. as I listed we actually have a great setup -- but we aren't expanding as a band. It's just us 2 guitars, bass and drums with minimal background vocals. We play big and little venues, and the rest of the band is older than me... I hate having to carry everything!!!! hahaha So -- maybe I need to clarify what I need.... a compact style of system. 8 to 12 channels... decent power and sound. Speakers are not an issue.....

Members DaBender Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't think they're available new anymore, but if you can find a Yamaha emx5000-20, it has what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP-12 Powered Mixer from A&H This is a great board, I sold mine last year to get a working van when I started working for a construction company, plenty of power , I played at 400 plus churches with volume to spare and they sound really nice IMHO.
