Versatile 4U rack mixer

Some advertising blurbs incorrectly (and misleadingly) state that this is a 24-channel mixer, but a cursory glance at the front panel makes it painfully obvious this is not the case. What it does have however, is 24 inputs to allow for 12 STEREO channels. It also packs a lot of features for a relatively compact mixer. All 12 channels have: 3-band EQ, Mute and Solo switches, Level and balance controls, 2 stereo Aux sends. Channels 1 & 2 also have 2 balanced XLR mic inputs with trim controls on rear panel. Plugging a mic into these overrides the jack inputs. Over on the Master section, there is selectable pre-fader and post-fader listen; 4 assignable stereo effects returns with level and balance controls, levels for Control Room out and Main out, 4 slider levels for the 4 busses. Around the back, are the 12 paired L-R inputs with inserts on Chans 1 - 4. Both the Control Room and Main outs are Balanced outputs, BUT strangely, neither of them are XLRs which still means using either adapters or a DI box for shows. Not quite sure why this is the case. They put XLRs for the mic inputs on Chans 1 & 2, so it's a bit of a mystery as to why they didn't do the same for the balanced outs. Then there are the Aux send/returns and the 4 Bus outs. All in all, the niggling matter of no XLR balanced outs notwithstanding, there is a great deal of flexibility in this mixer.
