Mics and mixers

[doctor roth]

Hey all. Looking at getting some new equipment. Just basic portable middle of the road stuff to lug around to jam sessions to record all the goings on. I use a mini disc player which is great, mainly looking at mixers (10 mic inputs or there abouts) and some mics around the $AU100 (about 75-80 $US). Ive done a bit of looking around, just thought someone here might have a few suggestions or a particular piece of gear they would recommend. Cheers !

I have a Carvin mixer that I'm tottaly happy with. I needed a preamp for my stereo and just use a Carvin DJ mixer. Sounds great through tube power amps.

The Peavey stuff is good too.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I would be wary of some of the Chinese made stuff. Carvin and Peavey are both USA made.

Their mixers and power amps are the best buy out there. No hiss, no noise, good quality sliders and pots and it's all made in San Diego not the Guangdong Factory 55 specializing in rip-off technology.
