I'm not impressed with the last incarnation of the A&H. if I were buying a new 16 channel desk for myself, I`d buy the Soundcraft GB2R. It`s more or less same price and feature set as the MW less the built in effects which to be honest aren't brilliant. I`d take a serious look at the Yammy first tho. Ron |
