Single space rackmount mixer?
« on: August 27, 2014, 11:50:22 PM »

I'm looking for a single space rack mixer for a compact ceremony sound systems at weddings.  Most of the events consist of 2-3 lav wireless mics and an ipod for music. 

The units I have stumbled upon so far are:

Rane MLM42S.  Seems like a solid option.

Peavey Sanctuary Series S-4.  Not really to familiar with Peavey mixers but the feature set looks great.  Not sure how good the automix feature is.

Anyone have any experience with those two or have any other options?

Shure has a couple half rack space mixers we really like.  We use them at ballparks and for small sound on a stick events.  They mate well with a single wireless receiver as well which is an added bonus for us.

I've used the Rolls RM65: six channels, one mon mix, fx loop, phantom power, one rack space
Decent for the money

Mike,

Have you worked with this unit or other gear from APB before? How's the quality compared to Rane?

APB ProSpec 1U4M4S.

Chris - If I may jump in.  We own 6 APB consoles of different sizes and models as well as a Mix Switch.  We had a beta version of the Pro Spec in our shop under evaluation for APB.  The sound quality and feature set of all APB products is top shelf.  I wanted to buy a Pro Spec just because it was so awesome, but I just had no need for it.  :-) APB is in a different league from Rane, I think.

Both Rane and APB are well respected brands. APB probably has a slight edge for sound quality reputation, but Rane should not be bad (IMO).

Consider Crown 14M.

Meant for installs, the inputs/outputs are not XLR, but Phoenix or Dual RCA.

I'll add Ashly LX-308B and MX-206 to the mix, only difference is number of mic vs line level inputs.
