Is there a live mixing desk with effects and comp?

celebritymusic · 1st September 2008

Hi

I need a small live passive mixing desk that has built in effects and maybe even compression. Only need 4-6 mic inputs.

What's a good sounding unit with features close to this?

Cheers

Shaun

Yamaha MG series has what you want.

The Yamaha 01V series desk is a staple on the small club circuit around here. It's more than 6 inputs but has everything you'd need. Might be able to find a used one around. It's a great little board.

I agree. The Yamaha MG mixers are great small format mixers for a very decent price. Good sound quality, very usable effects and single knob compression onboard.

Cheers guys

They look great. The 4 mic input one would be ideal, but it has no aux send. Are there any other brands you know of that do compression and fx with aux sends in the small mixers?

Cheers

You might check out the Yamaha IM8 mixer. These are new to the field but they have everything your looking for.

Thos e IM8's look good, but they're wayyyyy to big for what I need.

I figure I can get around not having an aux send for monitors by tunring up the channel fader and tunring down the overall monitor output for quiet singers. Sure, this will affect front of house levels, but quiet singers should be boosted front of house also.

This means I can use the smaller console - happy days

Get a Yamaha MG8/2FX they have compression on board fx and also do have an effect send which can be used for a wedge ect. I have one and they work just fine for mixing a few things. This sounds exacly what you would want.
