I just wanted to introduce you guys to the new line of mixers from Wharfedale. I know alot of you have bought the 8.2A so you know that Wharfedale does not disappoint

They have three models in the R-Series -

R200 - 4 XLR - 2 stereo inputs with knobs and master fader
R1604 - 4 XLR - 4 stereo inputs, 4 band EQ all channels have faders
R2004 - 8 XLR - 4 stereo inputs, 4 band EQ all channels have faders

If your looking at the Yamaha MG or Behringer mixers these are alot nicer for the same money.

You can PM me for more info $.
 
that figures...

I just bought my UB1622FX last week - I love it... so don't EVEN tell us what your prices are for the comparable mixer! ;)

Can't wait for my 8.2's to get here... thanks David

I would be very surprised if they were not made in the same factory as Berry's and subject too exactly the same quality control etc.

Don't reply unless you know what the Hell you commenting on.

You can't even compare Behringer and Wharfedale. Wharfedale owns it own factories and has some of the best service you can find. They back their products with a FULL 5 year warranty.

I’ve sold over 300 Wharfedale products and only had 3 problems and all three times the customer had a replacement in 1 week with out question.

With Wharfedale you have a company that produces affordable and usable equipment with top of the line QC.

So that makes you an unbiased judge where as I that have used Wharfedale products for many many years ( remember the Super 12 RS DD ) know nothing.

So what is the reliability of the Wharf. mixers like , are they not new on the market so have yet to prove themselves?

Methinks the teddy came out of the pram!!!

Are you also not spamming for sales?
 
I'm also a Behringer and Alto dealer which I do not sale and will not sell.

Here is a little inside Wharfedale lesson -

1) Wharfedale makes speakers for Community, Crest Audio, Yamaha.

2) Wharfedale makes amps for Crest Audio

3) Wharfedale makes EQs and other processing for Crest, DOD and DBX

4) The Beatles toured with only Wharfedale :)



No I'm not spaming I'm helping people make informed purchase so thay don't buy a bunch of junk. If they choose to buy from me I offer it cheaper than they can buy it anywhere. I'm not doing if for the money its to help my friends here out. I make my living a Sound Contractor. Why should I set by and let people who don't have a lot of money spend more than thay have to. If I can save them money that makes me feel good.

Example: I'm selling Wharfedale 8.2A monitors for $275.00 to members if they go and but them at american musical it would cost them $337.00. Thats almost $70.00 that I've saved them. Its called friends helping friends. For give me if you have a problem with it.

:D :D :D :D
You'll have to forgive me if the lesson I draw from the above is "Don't buy anything from Wharfedale".

I'm just ribbing you, I hope you know. A set of Wharfedale monitors is on my list.
 
This whole 'spam' issue has to be resolved. As far as I am concerned, any one who wants to post a link to their product or service on their signature line, great. If Dragon wants to restrict that functionality to those who pay a modest fee, fine. If someone has a new product that they want to introduce to the community, no problem.

'Spam', to my mind, would be Deepwater making repeated POSTS declaring the availabiltiy of his products/service. What he has done here rises nowhere near to that level.

Expertise cuts both ways. It is extremely unreasonable to expect everybody on this board who has valuable products, services, and expertise to be 100% altruistic. That is a recipe for having no expertise available at all.

Well said it seems very obvious to me that Deepwater is not spamming.

I only have personal experience with my Wharfedale 8.2 actives and I am amazed at the quality for the price. Even John with Massive Mastering said they are the best monotors for under $1,000.

I do own a few pieces of B gear but I would never put Wharfedale on the same level as Behringer.
 
Deepwater,
What I objected too in you less than freindly post to me was your assumption that I knew nothing. You do not know me and you have no idea as to my background or experience. For instance I twice visited the original Wharfedale factory and had various discussions with designers and marketing people etc.

If you has read any of my earlier posts you would have realised that I am quite a fan of the smaller Berry mixers so was not trying to denigrate the product in comparing them.

Hmm ... I am slightly uncomfortable at the 'making available' of products through the BBS ... however, I also know that deepwater seems a decent guy and lots of people on here have appreciate both his comments and his products!

Thanks for the heads-up, anyway ... having just bought this M12 I'm out of the mixer market now anyway!! (Should be arriving tomorrow!)
 
I have no personal problem with Deepwater, but I do think the spamming is getting out of control. Any post concerning monitors or mixers is soon to be followed by a Wharfedale or Soundcraft M-series comment. Soon after is an offer to sell one. That is spamming. Personally, I don't really care though. I just don't read messages that I don't want to. I actually run a pro audio company and have several lines available to me. I never make mention of that here though. Occasionally if I have something used for sale and I find someone lookniog for that item I will drop them a PM, but thats about it.

Now, Deepwater, I would like to see how you are saying that wharfedale makes amps for Crest? and what exactly do they do for DBX? Also, concert sound for the Beatles was often notoriously bad, so you might not want to qulaify Wharfedale equipment with that. As well as the fact that Wharfedale never shows up on a concert rider anywhere that I have ever seen.
 
I'd like to spam for me. Yes, me. Send me cash, American and lots of it and I promise to do my part. I will better myself and only play and record amazing music.
 
That is spamming.

I completely disagree. Spamming is by definition uninvited mass postings of advertisements without regard to a target market or interest.

From my obervation and experience Deepwater is selling a few products below the lowest legaly advertised price without making you provide the pricematch.

It is not his full time job but his full time job offers him the access to be authorized dealer of the products. This is a great opportunity for those who want to take advantage.

If you are not interested then just ignore the post and go on.
 
noob's two cents...

... if it weren't for deepwater, I'd STILL be trying to figure out how to get decent gear to satisfy my new addiction.

Spamming and offering others a great deal are two different things IMO. If he posting daily, trying to rip us off - then that's a different story...

This guy is doing us a favor... like I said - my two cents, which are no more valuable than your two cents. :)
 
I think rather than reach a conclusion, it's just important we are able to have a debate. I hope no egos are bruised - if deepwater is the guy he seems to be then this will be water off a duck's back anyway.

Wharfedale did make a range of Pro speaker drivers many years ago but they had a bad reputation for reliability , they could not shrug off their Hi-Fi design mentality .
Wharfedale speakers are now used in countless pub/club installations for background music but these are the units that are made in the far east.

When I started this form I knew almost nothing about recording. However thanks to everyone answering my questions I've been able to learn at lot. When I see someone looking for something that I know can save them money on I feel like I owe it to them to help. I sold one member a whole PA system he was about to buy online at American Musical and I saved him $800.00. for the same stuff.


If you rather pay full price for your equipment go ahead. I'm just tring to save peoples hard earned money. Its called a freinds helping friends something thats not done enough this days. I guess thats why it seems strange.
