Mixer

I am looking for the same...I see that the Behringer MX1604A is a great unit as well..It has 4 stereoinputs,unlike the UB1204 which has 2...The unit you mentioned is new to the market for $200.00..I need a mixer to mic a drum kit up as well...
 
Just food for thought

.... but I bought an old Tascam M30 mixer for $80 bucks and in spite of the fact that is weighs 40 pounds, has RCA connections instead of 1/4" (except for the mic inputs which are XLR), does not have built in effects, and took two days to thouroughly clean up........ it was some of the best money I ever spent.

I owned a Berry mixer (an 802) and although I hear the preamps in the UB series are better than the older MX's, I can tell you that the pre's in this circa '85 M30 are WAAYYYY better and the EQ section is WWWAAAAYYYYYYYYY better.

More flexability.
Better sound.
Built like a tank.
Better sound.
VU meters:cool:
and....
better sound.

My point is..... if you take some time searching you can find used gear that was, when new, many levels above the $200 range mixers new on the market today..... and for next to nothing.

If you find a used mixer for $100 you could spent the rest of your budget on a few good cables or something.

Just my 2 cents FWIW.
