Tristram, thanks for the helpful reply. This looks like a mine field.
I didn't realise there were so many things and products to think about,
when purchasing a mixer.
I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to give me some further advice
off list.
I don't want to clutter up the list,
Billy

There are a large variety of small format mixers available today and a
flourishing and competitive market. You could try makes such as Mackie
www.mackie.com who started it all in the early 90s, or choose their
lower cost sub make Tapco. Alesis also still do a couple of consoles
like this. More british orientated offerings may include the likes of
Soundcraft www.soundcraft.co.uk or Allen & Heath www.Allen-heath.co.uk
both of whom do small format multi-purpose mixers for not that much
money. You may want to have a look at the Soundcraft Mixpad range some
of which have built in USB audio interface.
Whichever you go for in the list above you will get a good deal. You
may want to consider what you need besides number of inputs like do you
need to plug in a record deck or do you need effects or for it to act as
a USB audio device on your computer. There are models from all the
above that do either or all of these as well as standard EQ etc.
Further down the market you could like at units made by Phonic or
Behringer and any number of other makes I have never heard of.
If you are willing to buy new online try www.dv247.com.
I personally still have and use a 14 year old Mackie 1202 which has
never let me down and is flexible enough to push to 16 inputs due to its
enherent flexibility.
Regards.
