Just a smooth and warm wash of well defined audio. None of the digital hashness that you can get with the low cost digital boards. A solid bottom with a clear and present top end. I have had the board up and running now for a week or so and these are the first things I’ve noticed. Low and High shelving EQ for channels 25 thru 48, each also switchable from A to B mix independently as needed.Įight stereo Sub-Groups switchable to mono for 16 sends to Tape or DAW.Īn easy to read well thought out manual that makes sense. Two separate and assignable stereo cue sends.įour band EQ with swept Hi/Low Mids on each main “A” mix channel, with each switchable to “B” mix independently as needed. It is a hybrid in-line/split board design.Ģ4 channels each with a Direct out and Inserts. Here is a short list of the board’s features. Especially with it’s full functionality and exceedingly versatile routing. It is a great way to introduce this new generation of engineers to the analog world. I could also see this board showing up in some Audio Schools. The ingenious design is at home in the studio, or a small to mid-size live venue, a House of Worship or as a great extra for any rental company with an eye to client satisfaction at a low cost. It seems to say, “OK let’s just get to it”. What I got was a very quiet large format console with a small footprint. I really must thank the teams at both Behringer and Sweetwater for coming through and managed to get a new board to me in record time. So, with the help of Bob from Live2Play and SoundProLive, the people at Behringer and my good friends at Sweetwater, I managed to get my hands on one-after several disasters involving shipping and routing problems caused by an over-stretched delivery carrier. I thought I’d be foolish to not at least check this out. That’s right, just a penny less than a grand. It also features the Xenyx mic pres and British styled EQs with an integrated LED meter-bridge. It is an ultra low noise board with 48 total inputs and a stereo eight buss sub group. This is a new board in the Eurodesk series. Then a friend hipped me to the Behringer Eurodesk SX4882. Part of my disappointment came from the fact that in the digital world prices are now going up (some of the prices for plug-ins are getting a little too close to their analog counter-parts). Not exactly what I wanted to spend, but as all studio owners know, there’s a time to tighten the belt and just jump in. Most of what I saw while doing my research pointed me toward the 3 to 4 thousand dollar range. So I said to myself I want an analog board again! Looking at all of the digital opulence started me thinking that it’s time to go back to the future. We haven’t seen each other since I scootered my way thru last year’s AES convention in NY.
