Which mixing board for church – Mackie TT24, Peavey Sanctuary or Allen & Heath?
Hi all. The church I play for is looking to purchase a mixing board soon. We need to decide whether to go analog or digital – and if analog, which board to buy. Our current considerations are: – Mackie TT24 – Peavey Sanctuary Series S-32 – Mackie Onyx 32.4 – Allen & Heath GL2400-32 Our primary concerns are: ease of use in a live situation, learning curve, visual feedback, accessibility, sound quality (pre-amps, eqs, etc.), reliability, and to some extent extensibility. The board will need to be easy enough to operate for both an experienced engineer as well as someone who may be relatively new to live mixing (the more likely case). I’m looking for the opinions of the community who have had experience with using either of these consoles live – preferably in a worship service situation, but not necessarily. Of course other recommendations are greatly welcome! Just try to keep the price in the under $6000 range.
