Members ulrichsd Posted December 5, 2003 Members Share Posted December 5, 2003 I'm looking at buying a mixer for acoustic guitar set - will be used for solo or small groups (3-4 people max). I'm putting together a system for the first time an I have 2 Yam 15" club cabs run through a QSC power amp. I've been looking at these mixers, if you have any other suggestions, please let me know. I'm looking for something around a $100 but have the money to spend more if necesary. Yamaha MG10/2 Stereo Mixer $99.99http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031205151105069133035163235930/g=live/search/detail/base_pid/630048/ Behringer Eurorack UB1202 Mixer $79.99http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031205151105069133035163235930/g=live/search/detail/base_pid/631236/ Behringer MX802A Eurorack Compact Mixer $79.99http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031205151105069133035163235930/g=live/search/detail/base_pid/631212/ Behringer Eurorack MXB1002 10-Channel Mixer $99.99http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031205151105069133035163235930/g=live/search/detail/base_pid/631224/ This last one has the option of battery power. How important/useful is this option? I kind of figure it would be easier to plug in the mixer than it would be to worry about the mixer's battery dying. I don't know... Thanks!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundministries Posted December 6, 2003 Members Share Posted December 6, 2003 Scott, I own and use on a regular basis the MXB1002 and think it is a nice simple little mixer. I've used it for recording, sub-mixing, and as a mixer for small gigs. The only thing the battery is good for is field recording as you would have to have power for your amps and such.

Members abzurd Posted December 6, 2003 Members Share Posted December 6, 2003 Behringer MX802A or the Yamaha. Both have high pass filters (HPF) which is nice, especially in a small mixer at this price point. This allows you to block out frequencies below 75 - 80 Hz. Reduces stage rumble. Good for acoustic guitar and vocals too as they don't go that low any way. For a full on band you usually would want a HPF engaged on all but bass and full range instruments (kick drum, floor tom, keyboard, bass guitar). Can clean up the mix The Behringer also adds a second AUX. This is useful for monitor mixes or effects. Would allow 2 seperate monitor mixes or a monitor mix and effect unit.
