Rackmount Mixer

Postby walkerdata » 21 Sep 2011, 18:33

I'm looking for a simple single space rackmount mixer with 4 channel minimum, level, bass, and treble?

Anybody seen anything like this or know where I can get one?

Thanks in advance!

If it had bass and treble on each channel, it would be perfect.

I look around but I didn't find anything... For what I saw I think that there isn't a rackmount mixer with EQ high 1U.

Cheers,
Francesco

This 6 ch one has bass and treble overall, but not per channel:

It seems that the options are a bit limited.
How much money do you have to spend for this?
Does it need to be mono or stereo?
Does the bass and treble EQ need to be realtime control with dedicated control knobs?

This is a half rack space unit that is 8 inputs with per channel EQ, compressor, reverb and mono or stereo outputs:

I think my budget would be a couple of hundred bucks. It's for playing live. I want to be able to plug in my NS2 and another stereo keyboard and send them to a K12 or PA mixer (stereo or mono). I really need the EQ on each channel or at least two of them.

Thanks.

This is a very good choice. I have used Motu 828mk3 as a live keyboard mixer for a long time and are very satisfied

Hi guys,

I use Motu Ultralite mk3 as my personal live mixer for two keyboards (Nord and Arturia Origin most of the time). IMO it does this job perfectly:

I can have separate mixes to main mixer, to my personal monitors and to my headphones. Latter two mixes can have monitorline (aux) from other band members. And I can compress and EQ it. Of course if you want to make some adjustment during the gig, easiest way is to make it with computer (in my case mac book). Basically all the settings can be made with just Motu itself, but I must say it's far from useful and for sure not very easy to learn and too slow in gig situation. In fact I've asked MOTU if they could make this Cue Mix software for iPad or Android platform. It could be just great addition to its live use!

In Ultralite mk3 hybrid this FW seems to work better than USB.

Anyway this is great product for its price. After quite a search I decided to buy my second Ultralite (one for my home studio and other for gigs). I havent regret it.

P.S: if you wanna read few more lines about my Motu usage, check my blog:

The Motu mixer looks like it might be hard to adjust during a show! If there was a way to control from an ipad, I might would consider it. I don't use a computer at our live gigs. (I use the iPad for set list.)

I had looked at the Nady. It appears to be an affordable solution minus the eq. I guess I could eq in some other way.

Anyway, I'm still looking...

What do you adjust most during a show?
How does your audio tech feel about it?

On bigger shows, if I even touched one of my volume knobs, I was "strongly cautioned" :oops:
