Good idea.
8816:
- Some color (reminiscent of the Neve VR series, as thethrillfactor has said elsewhere)
- Analog panning
- Can add faders and direct outs with the 8804 option
- Can link multiple 8816's
- Width control
- Transformers on mix, not on individual channels.
Chandler Mini Mixer:
- Lots of color
- Analog panning
- No desktop fader/direct out option
- Can link multiple Mini Mixers
- No width control
- Transformers on individual channels.
Be sure you like the heavy color of the Chandler before you buy it, because you'll have it all the time, due to the heavy individual channel transformers. Even when you adjust between individual channel levels and mix levels, you always get plenty of color.
It was too colored for me............actually muddy to my ears.
But this is a matter of personal preference..............some guys love that heavy color.
They are clearly different sounding units, and you will quickly prefer one over the other.
