Members EJ2 Posted May 8, 2008 Members Share Posted May 8, 2008 I didn't know there even WAS an M480, I thought the M240 was their biggest one. What a slew of tiny little knobs. Same here. I still use mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted May 8, 2008 Members Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wow, I've never seen that mixer before. Haven't even heard of Speck. Do you know what it costs? Retail/direct prices: Xtramix $5,295.00/$4,520.00 X-Sum w/breakout box $1,595.00/$1,595.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bruto Posted May 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 So the xtramix is $1600. That's actually not bad when compared to the Roland M-480, which listed for $3000 new. Of course the M-480 sells for $300 to $400 now, but if you buy one on eBay, you have to hope you get one with clean channels all the way through. (I don't have mine yet, so I've got my fingers crossed.) Also, sounds like most people have had good luck with the Behringer 1602. Mine started giving me trouble a few months ago. Channel 1/2 cuts out on left, and channel 3/4 has static. Worked fine for a year, and then it started to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crufty Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 sounds like my pl2404. I can't escape the feeling the old adage is true...you get what you pay for. BUT, its good in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 So the xtramix is $1600. The X-Sum is 1600 usd. I provided links to each product in my previous prost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bruto Posted May 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 The X-Sum is 1600 usd. I provided links to each product in my previous prost. Whoops, must have had a spell of dyslexia. The X-Sum is $1600. Still a good deal considering what the Roland M-480 cost new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 so how did you like that M-480, Bruto? is it pretty clean? i'm thinking maybe that's the way to go now for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members syncretism Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Perversely, a second-hand Speck Ultramix cost me about 1500 USD. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
