TonyMitchell Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'll vouch for the A&H Zed60 10FX as a great little desk too. Josh I'd not looked at the spec. of that little desk in any detail before now, however for the price it is definitely worth giving it a try on small jobs.Two of the most annoying features of the Soundcraft EPM/EFX series' are resolved, with individual LEDs on the PFL and Mute buttons, so mo more running a finger along all channels to see which are depressed.The USB interface is neat too, particularly as it is two way record & playback.

Effectively giving a poor mans mix minus if required. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 ..poor mans mix minus if required. Hi Josh, that's not really what 'mix-minus' is. The term come from (radio) broadcasting and is a per-channel facility on desks so that each channel can have an output of the main mix minus that channels contribution to the mix. It's used to feed back down the line to phone-in contributors so that they can hear the main station output but without themselves as that's already provided by the sidetone locally generated in their phone. If you fed the mix, complete with themselves to them, they'd get confused by hearing themselves with a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Just to bring this one round full circle - I had sort of decided that the Mackie DFX6 fitted my requirements, and was looking out for a decent second hand one in the usual places. but then I spotted an A&H Zed10fx on gumtree at a bargain price - although probably a bit more than I’d have paid for the mackie. It has pots rather than faders, but other than that it ticks all the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacethebase Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Personally I’d seriously look in to the M32R I know the price jump is massive, but so is the usability. Jace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 M32R + laptop bag = ????? I feel you're just a slimy salesman, Mr Jace... the least you can do is read the spec of what's required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
