Small Mixer 4 Aux Sends
Hi gang,
I'm looking for a clean mixer, with 4 aux sends/returns, that has a small footprint. New or old is fine - suggestions?
Thanks

Roland M-160 is the only mixer I know of that is "small" with 4 sends. There's someone on eBay right now with 4 of them with $10 opening bids.

Roland M-240 is small, 26x11x3.5, has 24 inputs, 4 aux sends, 3 stereo returns and 1 aux return
I think its pretty clean looking too:

Re: Small Mixer 4 Aux Sends
Half the size of that M-240 would be good. I don't think I need more than 12 inputs.

Re: Small Mixer 4 Aux Sends
The problem is mixer manufacturers seem to scale number of sends with number of channels..
Most 12-16 chan mixers you will be looking at 2 aux sends..
If you do find something let me know though, I'd be keen on a 3-4 send 8-12ch mixer

Mackie VLZ3 1642. 8 mono channels, 4 stereo, 4 aux sends, half the width of that roland. 

Re: Small Mixer 4 Aux Sends
allen & heath zed 14 : 6 mono ,4 stereo, 4 aux + one more usb send-return. and you get nice long faders and sturdy knobs .you dont get 4 returns but you can use regular tracks as returns if you dont need them all . what you get is two rca stereo returns ( stereo RTN and 2trk rtn )

Re: Small Mixer 4 Aux Sends
you wont regret it if you go with the ZED.
now even the big names do cheap consumer level mixers . but i feel like allen and heath go a bit less low than the others (yamaha, soundcraft ...) . they try to keep some dignity i guess . they are a bit more expensive than other brands cheapest product but when you put your hands on it you will feel were that money goes even before putting any sound trough it.
try to find a used mint one around 400 $$ gret value !!
