Looking for an analogue mixer

Im looking to get my hands on an analogue mixing desk and would love to hear everyones recommendations. I’m after one with direct outs for each channel, a nice EQ section and between 16 - 24 channels. Willing to spend £1000 - £2000

Danke

Maybe this Mixer is perfect for you: Allen & Heath Qu-16 Chrome
would be my choice if i would need one :wink:

#3

Perfect :joy:

QU-16 is digital though?

#6

I would go for a mint 2nd hand Midas Venice.

If going new: MixWizard4 Series

Loving my Midas Venice 320 here - fantastic value for money these days IMO.

i’m using a Soundcraft GB2R 16 channel mixer which i find to have a nice EQ for the money .

I think that was the joke

Cheers guys, keep them coming. So many people keep recommending Midas but they seem to be out of production.

Ended up with an A&H GL2200 for a couple hundred quid.

All channels working, a few could deal with a servicing but was pretty happy with the purchase.

I like that board! nice

I’m just getting started with my new APB Dynasonics Prorack House. Amazing functionality and quality packed into a tiny footprint. Matches your spec desires. If you like it but it’s too expensive or hard to locate (I may have bought the very last new unit) seek out a Crest X20r. Very similar mixer but cheaper and likely easier to find.

I’m not quite sure if this will be forever because (i guess Behringer is behind) it appears that Midas Pre, EQ and Compressor from the old analog consoles are introduced as 500-modules at a very competitive price and will hit the market in Q1/2019. So it could be also possible, that the Venice boards could be reintroduced at a good price-tag too.

btw … there are still some on the market
