I'm looking for a decent quality (single space) rack mountable mixer for my vocal-keyboard (live work) gigs which has 2 XLR Mic inputs, 2 pairs of 1/4" inputs (one pair for Tyros2 + another pair for CD/ipod player), a efx send/return, and also includes 2 band (but preferably 3 band) EQ.

I'm currently using an (over 10 year old) earlier generation Mackie 1202 compact mixer which only has 2 band (hi/low)EQ. Unfortunately the pots are going out (dirty & noisy) so think it's probably time to retire it anyway cuz it requires a table top for it to sit on as well.

I'd prefer a single space rack mountable mixer which could fit alongside my single space TC Helicon VoiceWorks Vocal Effects Processor mounted inside my SKB 2 space capacity shallow depth mixer case . This would allow me to simply position the Mixer case on the floor next to me on the floor and not require a table setup.

If there are decent quality single space rack mountable mixers available meeting my above spec requirements, curious to hear what small portable mixer setup other guys here use and/or recommend.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott, I probably have exactly what you need, a Studiomaster C3X. http://www.studiomaster.com/c3x.html
I used it only a few times and it's in perfect condition. It's for SALE!

Donny, cool. thanks for the link. Curious how these Rolls 1U Rack units compare in sound quality with the StudioMaster C3X. I like the C3x because it's got "3 band EQ" and "XLR mic inputs" located right on the front. Do any of the Rolls units include this?

Ok, I've gone ahead and made a nice deal with DonM. Can't wait to receive it in the mail now. Don, perhaps you could include a bottle of your Louisiana cajun seasonings to spicen' up the mix.

Scott

I'll just dump a bottle on the mixer, so it will be seasoned.
DonM

Good luck with it Scott.....
Don will always treat ya right!~

For future reference Rolls products are all quailty made.Check out their product list.

Scott,
I've sold lots of these studiomaster mixers to pro musicians the past few years and I've never have anyone disappointed. They are clean, have lot's of features and good effects. It should be just what you ordered!
