ign (by Axel Hartmann, a true
genius of audio gear design) with some QC issues at first but wound up being
a pretty nice product.

I guess I'm Joe Capitalist this week, but with all of those companies getting
their noses bloodied in that segment of the market, and a complete unwillingness
of new players to step in, I have to wonder if the 'C24 crowd' just isn't
big enough to make it a financially viable target. Not that I have any insight
into this being true, but it seems like that's what the market thinks.

>Ed I think you should just get rid of the mixer all together.from what your
describing the output stage of the channels are shot at the direct out
tap.why do you even need a mixer? do you need that many mic pres
simultaneously?sounds like your going to have to limit it to 2 tracks at a
time from the main outs.
the Paris mixer is a hell of a lot better any way.
I just scrapped my mixer when I went madi.a control surface is all I need. I
cant afford a neve console either.
again, unless you need that many inputs at once I think you will sleep
better without the mixer in the chain.
