6th Order Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well, they're not cheap. but I've always found them reliable and that's worth a lot to me. The MkII has a freq. variable notch filter on the monitor send (only) to help with feedback reduction, if that's what you mean. The deal is though, that it's a real one stop solution. The outputs are limited, the FX are very usable. The whole desk is cleverly voiced to give a full sound which always comes over as more 'produced' that it actually is. There may be 'more cost effective' ways to do a similar job, but what these desks do they do better than any other powered desk I have heard.If you can afford the investment I think it's worth it for the result you can get.

i_hate_fisicks Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Allen & Heath PA series? I've used both. I'd say the Allen & Heath was better put together. Cheaper too. And it has parametric EQ on the outputs, which is novel and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndenim Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have heard these are very good I hate fisicks, has the powered desk got enough grunt at 1k and does it have all of the bells and whistles like the PM?I need the amps built in for versatility, and something thats going to be tough enough to handle life on the road. John Denim. :) ps, have been looking at this. http://www.soundlightltd.com/proddetail.php?prod=4890 pps may well start another thread on this subject!

smalljoshua Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 My local am-dram theatre has the unpowered version and I like it, I am seriously thinking about getting the PA28 and although I can't comment on the Amp side of things I think the entire PA Series is very good. P.S. you can get it £20 cheaper Here. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yes, if you want to wait until August 9th to get it. The PA series are something I've not had much experience with, but what little I have had I've been happy with. I know someone with one and he's more than happy with it. Josh, have a look at the Zed range, if you are looking at unpowered. Many more options available to you. Rob Edit : this has gone on to mixing desks now, but with some useful discussion. perhaps a split? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndenim Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have opened a new thread to discuss said issue, a poll is included. Vote away! John Denim. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 A split and merge then perhaps. Endless things can be done. Most of it's all done with mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
