Esta mezcladora es un equipo increiblemente genial, logramos superar todas las desventajas que habíamos tenido tiempo atrás. Tiene una consistencia robusta en los componentes, todos los controles demuestran gran calidad. El manual es sencillo e incluso puedo mencionar que aprendí muchas cosas del manual ya que no se limitan a explicar cuestiones técnicas sino más bien se obtienen ejemplos prácticos. El control que me proporciona sobre lo que quiero tener en el monitor/phones es increible. Todo lo que siempre había querído hacer para poder monitorear la mezcla ahora es posible. La calidad de la ecualización es estupenda realmente no es dificil lograr una equalización adecuada en pocos segundos. El compresor/limitador es un recurso importantísimo que va por el mismo precio. El control de las líneas auxiliares es genial.

Mackie Onyx 32·4 and Onyx 24·4 mixers build upon the legendary Mackie SR24.4 and SR32.4 consoles - with their flagship Onyx mic preamps, new 4-band Perkins EQ, 100mm faders, a 6x2 matrix and a built-in stereo compressor limiter - all at a price that won't break the bank. These new mixers bring the innovative feature set and unequalled sound quality of Mackie's Onyx Series to the world of mid-format live mixers, effectively filling the gap between the Onyx Small-Format and 8-bus Onyx 80 Large-Format Live Sound Consoles. The Onyx 4-bus Series mid-format consoles incorporate a host of new features like a full complement of Mackie's highly acclaimed, flagship Onyx preamps that combine greater fidelity, increased headroom and unequalled sonic performance with greater radio frequency rejection and wider dynamic range. Additional Onyx 4-Bus features include a fully balanced signal chain for lower noise and wider frequency range, as well as Mackie's exclusive Cal Perkins-designed four-band EQ circuitry, renowned for its highly musical British sound and wider-range control. Both Onyx 4-Bus consoles also feature a 6x2 matrix, 100mm Panasonic faders, and a fully assignable stereo compressor/limiter section built upon the high-quality THAT 4301 chip. This compressor/limiter features independent threshold, ratio and fast/slow attack controls, and can be assigned to the main output mix, Groups 1 and 2, or Groups 3 and 4. Onyx 4-bus Mid-Format Live Sound Console Features Premium Onyx Mic Preamps on all mono channels Four-Band Perkins EQ Six fully assignable Aux Sends with Pre/post switches, mute and AFL solo Smooth, long-throw 100mm Panasonic Faders Analog direct outs per channel Two Dedicated Stereo Inputs 4 segment channel metering Dedicated talkback section 6 x 2 matrix Built in stereo compressor/limiter An All-New Design for Superior Sound A

Allen & Heath AH-WZ3:16:2 Mix Wizard WZ3 16:2 Rack Mountable 16-Channel Mixer with Digital Effects, 4 Band Equalizer, and 6 Auxiliary Sends Review

This mixer is outstanding. With SIX! (6) programmable auxes (pre/post), inserts on each channel, 100mm faders and rock solid construction this thing is a workhorse. Those are just a few of the many features. It took me a little bit of time to realize the flexibility of this board, and I am certain I have only touched the surface of what I can expect from it. I bought this after 2 failed Behringer XL1600 boards and I am confident it will be with me a long time. The electronics of each channel can be replace separately if you have a problem. Internal dip switches allow you to change the configuration of many features to suit your purposes. The fx are nothing to get real excited about, but for what you pay for the board, you get them free, and there is not really anything wrong with them. Great board, you won't be disappointed. I didn't buy it off Amazon, but the price here is the same I paid for it.
No regrets - I would buy it again in a second!

I bought this mixer to be used at small clubs and venues when I don't want to carry loads of stuff and for me it is perfect. The preamps, one knob compressors and effects sound really good, the sweepable mids on the EQ's are nice and the board has a very solid feel to it, for the price of this board you get alot of features.
