I had one back in the day, great desk at what you want it for, I would certainly pay no more than £1k and be aiming for about £800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyP1955 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The only thing monitor mode does for you is to put the aux masters on faders and the outputs on XLRs. I actually prefer the masters on the rotaries, as it's harder to adjust them by an accidental bump. The desk is a bit short on auxes by monitor console standards - you won't be giving a band stereo IEM mixes unless it's a very small band, Decent desk otherwise. Look for a (rare) GL2800M. Can MixWiz Monitors be linked? If so, a pair of those would work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainwave-generator Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would slightly be inclined to aim for a GL3300. The GL3300 was built on feedback from GL3000 users, but despite that, I wouldn't really expect to pay more for it. The GL3300 was a very popular and common board, an I've certainly seen far more out there than 3000s. As such, you might find that you can secure much the same price.

Biro Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Its true, GL2800M would be ideal but they are so rare and so hard to get hold of. Is their scope to increase budget to digi? (Thinking long term) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
