The connections are adjustable 90 degrees so you can have them up top(desk usage) or out the back (rack usage).sajs said:II have never used the Allen Heath Mix Wizard. However, after looking at the layout, it would not work for me. All of the connections are made in the back of this unit. I use my mixer on a recording desk and I am constantly changing inputs and using the Aux Sends for different outboard gear. If I had to turn that mixer around every time I wanted to connect something it would drive me nuts. Just my $.02.
xstatic said:Some people may prefer Crest audio consoles opver Allen heath, but I for one am not one. My gig yesterday with Tesla just reconfirmed that belief. They used a Crest V12 ( Crest top of the line console). It was absoluteley horrid. The slightest little clip on the Crest resulted in horrible popping noises. Other Crest consoles are the same way. Other than that it functions OK, but that issue alone is enough for me to never touch one if at all possible. That is also why Crest never made or sold very many consoles, and why more often than not they are listed on riders as unacceptable and not reccomended.

" the rear connector pod cab be easily rotated for rear facing or underside connectors when rack mounted".

Even when you get into the high end desks like the MH series or the upper level A&H boards I think the MH series is designed much better. The VCA assign seems more intuitive as dose the mute automation. The M series pre's sound fantastic (the same used in the Ghost recording line. Although for recording I chose the Soundtracs MRX 32. If your interested in a 24 channel soundtracs board let me know I can point you in the direction of a good used one.
Goodluck,
Kyle
if you do not like it that way, you may want to avoid Midas as well.
