Members moody Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 if I was using it to run a little monitor setup it might be nice. Do you not think so? Vocal accuracy masked by Effects? I definately don't want effects on my monitors, I rarely use them on mains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like reverb and delay on vocals in monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrm27 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Not trying to mask, I just prefer for my signal to not be incredibly dry when using my in-ears. A little verb helps me "feel" the room a little more. To each his own I guess. Sorry to derail the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lonotes Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 The only board on you list that would get slight preference is A&H. And if time is not an issue, the A&H can be found for very near the OP's target price of $800. I bought my MixWiz from MF for right around that price (at the moment, I can't recall exactly, it's early, first cup of coffee and all). It was listed as a scratch & dent unit, but the only flaw was a dented corner of the cardboard shipping box. The mixer itself was absolutely perfect.

I know what you mean, but we use a drum overhead that picks up quite a bit of stage ambient sound, and I bleed that into my IEM mix to relieve the "dryness" and still don't have to deal with the negatives of reverb in a monitor mix.

Members Shovelhead Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have a Carvin C1644P. I bought it because it offers 4 monitor mixes and 2 effects sends. It also is powered, but you can assign the the 4 internal amps to be 4 monitors, or 2 mains and 2 monitors. The nice thing is that for rehearsal, the board and a couple of monitors is all we need. At smaller gigs, I can go with external amps for the mains and internal amps for monitors. At larger gigs, I use external amps for monitors and mains. The layout is small and cramped. That's exactly why I bought it. I have to fit all my guitar stuff and a small PA rig in the same truck, so space is a huge issue. I think it's a good swiss-army knife mixer on a budget. The next step up for me will be an A&H GL2400, but I'll still use the Carvin for rehearsals and small gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sol-city Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 I know of two sound-for-hire guys in the area that use the powered version running 4 monitors with the internal amp and powered boxes for the mains and they love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
