Hi
Smaller, older Soundcraft stuff may be of interest as they are quite plentiful, reasonable price, repairable (not massive expense) and if you get into 'mods' there is scope there too. I have only really worked on a series 1 Neotek and I was disappointed in build quality and performance, coming from 30 odd years working on broadcast and various recording desks. Neotek are however pretty easy to work on and can be improved quite easily.

Stay away from the mackies, in my experience they are noisy and have zero 
positive points other than the pricing structure.

Big fan of the older, non-powered yamaha and Sony consoles for this application.

Hi guys--

I have a 28-input Series II and on some mixes, I could use more channels for reverbs, 
delays, etc. So I am thinking of getting a little "sidecar". Thing is, I don't 
have the space or money for a baby Neve or even a baby Neotek. For my application, it'd 
probably be okay to use something like a Mackie 1604. However, I know Yamaha and Allen 
and Heath-- among others-- make similar compact pretty-decent-seeming compact mixers.

Does anyone have any experience with the mixers of this type? Is there a "best in 
breed"? I trust your opinions more than those of the Information Superhighway, so if 
anyone could weigh in, I'd be highly appreciative!

Thanks!
Matt
