Allen & Heath PA12 Mixing Desk

This is unpowered, you'll need a separate power amp.

Yes, they're a bit more €. The trend at the moment is powered speaker cabs which is leading to the popularity of the unpowered mixer. The beauty of powered cabs is that you can daisychain as many of them as you like without any impedance problems..........

@WackoMako: Dead simple. All you do is use a shielded cable (either an XLR type or a guitar-lead 1/4" jack plug type, depending on what you need). You then use these to go from the two main outs (L&R) on the desk to the inputs of your power amp, and two speaker leads from the outs of the power amp to your speakers. You can use whatever size power amp you like, not just what the manufacturer thinks might do the job for you. So if you want 2x4000W you can have it just by using the right amp. Nowadays, however, the coming trend is for powered speaker cabs (each cab has a power amp built in), so you just go from the mixer directly to the speaker cabs. The advantages of separate units are: light weight per unit, you can mix & match components much more easily, and, if you use powered cabs, you can daisy-chain as many as you like and build a massive system without worrying about impedance loads, and can then use just two cabs for your local pub gig the day after. Hope that helps, please feel free to ask any other questions.

As regards active cabs, RCF and EV's seem to be very well thought of, though expensive. Can't beat Peavey for value, and, if you get the good ones (not the cheapos) they're VERY good. Can't beat them. The powered version of this mixer is a good bit more expensive, about €1000 on Thomann. We can match that price for you if you want it. However, it's heavy, and the unpowered one is lighter, if you have a separate power amp you can get the amont of power you want as opposed to what the manufacturer thinks you should have, and power amps aren't expensive.
Advice/suggestions? Hmmm......keep the EV's, sell the t.mix and buy the Allen & Heath. We have only this one as we acquired it when we took over Soundcabin. It's brand-new, full warranty, &c.
We might even take the t.mix as a part-trade.........

@Jonny Warren: Hi Johnny, can't see one on your ads? Have you taken it down?

Are you sure it'll only be €150 to fix? Are you selling the case with it too? I do have some acoustics here, well worth the paice, same preamp as the other ones we used to have (Baz has one - the guitar is a bit different though). I also have a REALLY nice acoustic, solid spruce top, solid rosewood back & sides. We didn't spec a preamp on these as I didn't want great big holes cut in such a nice guitar, and I figured the Fishman endpin unit could be installed afterwards if needed (or you could cut a great big hole for the controls if you'd prefer LOL!). This has a hard case too, can do you a good deal as there's only one left......

@Barnocious: Not a problem. I can only find the Tmix 1094 on Thomann, but it looks very similar, selling for €289, so including the case I'd allow you €200 for it. In terms of sound quality the Allen & Heath is miles ahead, no comparison really. I've always liked Peavey power amps, about 500W per side is a good compromise, as you have to bear in mind the power-handling capability of your speakers. Generally speaking, 500W @ 4 ohms translates to about 300W @ 8 ohms, so you should be OK there. In the future, adding two more 8 ohm speakers will give you the power handling of the amp running at 4 ohms. The better-quality Thomann power amps are good too (& great value), I've used them and they're quite good. The cheaper ones are, well, cheap.....
Like I say, I like Peavey gear, but there are a lot of power amps out there and seemingly no upper price limit. Hope that helps, always here to help......

@Niggles21: I would, but I'd need a bit of cash my way. How much would you be thinking of?

@Niggles21: I'll be in Limerick during the week, and in Cork tomorrow, if that's any good to you, and we send stuff by courier all over the country for only €10.......

@Niggles21: €150? I'd cover the shipping costs from here to you if we decided to use couriers.

@min in black: Adverts won't allow us to send PM's (as a shop) anymore......
