Hi, I'm helping for a friend looking for a digital mixing system for around 80-96 channels. His current system basically an iLive T-112 with 64 channel stage box plus additional Behringer X32 for additional 32 channel in which he put at the stage most of the time and mix it remotely using Ipad. His budget is around 10 grand and some system we are quite interested in is the DLive CDM64 plus additional DX168 but it is quite expensive in our location and the used model is quite rare right now (they do have the S series for about 25 grands used which was quite more than his budget).
If anyone have any recommendation for mixer board around that price that use digital snake are welcome. I almost recommend the Soundcraft SI Expression but the last 16 processing channel is actually stereo so it is not a true 80 processing channel mixer. Thanks all.

His budget is around 10 grand

Currency/location?

Currency/location?

Indonesia, Rupiah. I'm not sure whether the price will match exactly but on average the price here is about 10-70% higher than the state.

[Steve Ferreira]

With that budget and channel count requirements you might be hard pressed to find something even used.

[Bob Stone]

Yeah, budget is tight. Maybe two 40-48 channel boards chained together?

Did you look at the SC Performer?

The iLive system can be turned into a 128 Input, 32 bus system if another iDR-64 is added and run in Dual-Rack mode. You'll need an ACE card in the master Mix-Rack to do this. Probably cheaper than 10 grand, but it might be hard finding used iLive gear at this point. The process is explained in this manual:

The cheap option is to buy another stage box for the iLive and run it in dual rack mode.

Other than than that your best option is a dLive C class with a CDM64 + a DX32.  FWIW I have the S5000/DM64/DX32 ... just fantastic!

Edit - Hi Mark .... I like your idea ... I think we posted within seconds of each other.

Beat you by 53 seconds, Pete! Great minds (and A&H users) think alike.
