Re: Mix Wiz 3? Really?




Thanks Eric for verifying the DL 1608 effects quality again for me.


I would say that the PCM70 you spoke of may well be old, but it has astonishing sound quality.  I understand that the PCM98 is even nicer .... but only by word of mouth.


Every post I have seen on the X32 efx was resoundingly positive.  The marketing of the Xi16 states that it will share the same efx engine as the X32 which would (in theory) put the X32 quality efx in a DL 1608 package (and put the preamp gains remote as well ..... which Mackie should have gotten right as well).  That would be a pretty serious contender in the .... what was it called ... ultra compact 16 channel mixer market.


If I were in product dev at Allen & Heath, I would be on the path of releasing one of these form factor mixers as well.  Without a product like this, A&H will have a pretty big hole in their product lineup.  There is a pretty big difference between the $2500.00 Qu16 and the $1000.00 DL 1608.  I don't see the venerable MixWiz being able to hang with this market (I will be selling mine soon .... as soon as the 16 channel digitals all come out ;) ).
