This is a fun line of content, I could watch these all day!
Trailer looks like an older rave rig. Lots of speakers, small rack. I'd wonder if it's all banana connectors, or even bare ends. I had to do a gig on one once. Three different systems and loads of amps, cables everywhere, was a mess. All in mono as well, but they had an M7 from somewhere. Was an alright hour and a half show.. but the spaghetti still keeps me up at night....
Re turbo sound, floodlight is still a decent box for live music, linear research amps make a big difference though. Funktion one is fine for dance music.. don't try lavs on it though
The crazy part of the trailer thing is that the system is inside of it and not in an AC controlled space....
That Roland personal mixing system is actually really versatile and sounds pretty nice. I know some folks who run other consoles and just use the personal monitoring system via a MADI bridge that Roland used to make.
The best combo with them is Roland's own M5000 console, it has a special mode to turn one of the personal units into an "Engineers Monitor" that can mirror any users' unit at the push of a button so the engineer can very efficiently help out if needed.
If the dude would just sell me the personal mixers for say $2k I'd probably go for it :)
Wow, I had no idea those M-48 monitor stations were so sought-after. Funny, it looks like someone made an offer on that package and it sold already. Thanks for the great info!
Some decent deals here! I bought a Mackie Profx 12 from a guy on OfferUp but when i got it home the entire left channel of the main bus didn’t work. I’ve had it open a few times and checked all the ribbon cables/output jacks on the main bus board but no dice. Also no sign of blown components or corrosion on the main bus board. Wonder if anyone in your community might know how to fix it? Everything else works fine, just the left channel. Weird!
Almost no market for large format analog desks at all. Home studio or an install. I bought a package from a theatre (I only wanted the Meyer UPAs) that included a Crest VCA 48 desk. It had been used on three musicals before a new TD decided to go digital, and had an amazing roadcase. Got 800 bucks for it but it took almost a year.
I used to love mixing monitors on the Crest desk a friend owned. I don’t remember the model, but I don’t think it had the big meter bridge like the VCA 48. I bet he’s still got it in storage somewhere.
Those old live desks with tons of channels like an Soundcraft MH-3 or Series Five or an Allen & Heath ML5000 make really great studio tracking desks. It gives you a high quality mic preamp and a very handy EQ and direct outs. Analog desks also let you track with zero latency and those old live desks have tons of aux's for headphone mixes. Sure its not a Neve, API or SSL but its better than all of those old digital mixers that only run at 48K internally. I have been using a ATI Paragon 2 for about a year now and I always wanted an SSL but could never justify the cost but I found a 48 ch ATI paragon at a theater that had went digital. API mic preamps and dynamics on every channel and the EQ is far better than any SSL EQ ever. I'm not going to be loading and unloading the desk like a tour would so its easier for studios to justify these analog mixers. But NO WAY would I go back to gigging with an analog console, but for a studio a 32 or 48 channel mixer is a good idea actually. So I can see where a live engineer would see an old analog desk and say NOPE, but a small home studio could really benefit from it. So I think there are people who would buy an analog mixer but it would serve a different purpose today! Cheers!! Great Video!!
I think you're abosolutley right, the only people I know who are using analog consoles daily have them in studios like you're doing. There are some great deals to be had if you've got the space.
Roland have discontinued all audio mixers. If I found one cheap enough I'd buy one. My high school had one and probably still does.
my church has an M300. I loathe it, one of the most back to front consoles. and the lack of some features that even the equivalents consoles from competitors at the time had annoys me
The Roland stuff is not bad but definitely not up to date.
I would take it over a Analog setup but I don’t think you can get more than the asked 800$ for the full setup.
Any higher, I would choose something else honestly.
Why wouldn’t you want the power amps powered by the furman conditioners?
In short, Furman conditioners don't do much to actually condition the power and are designed to work with relatively low and consistent current loads. They don't offer any protection for dynamic (relatively) high-current loads like power amplifiers. On a more practical note, like the listing in this video shows, you'd end up needing one for every amp to avoid popping the 15A breakers, which is just silly. You're better off investing in a rack power distro solution, like something from Motion Labs that can bring multiple circuits to a single rack to power your amps properly. www.motionlabs.com/products/rac-pac/
M48 is actually very popular today
Which mixer do you use them with? I'm just finding out they are popular now that they've been discontinued :(
i'll give him 4 for the whole system in the Trailor
😂
What do y'all think a real world price for a A&H GL2400 32 channel is these days?
That's a tough question. It's going to depend a lot on where you are located, if you'll find a buyer at any reasonable price. Completed listings on eBay show these actually sell around $350 with $50-100 shipping on top. There are a pile of them not selling on Reverb for $500-$700+, so in person maybe $450 tops based on what I'm seeing, but finding a buyer is going to be tough.
@@DcSoundOp Yeah, I was thinking $350-400 in person. I sure wouldn't want to mess with shipping one haha
I would not buy gear used on FB Marketplace
