[BC] Mackie & Berhinger Mixers For A Radio Station

[Mike McCarthy]

I have two of them.  PIA.  Retired one for parts to keep #2 going at a 
remote "main studio".

As much as I hate Arrakkis, their tiny board is ahead of the Mini-Mix 8 for 
the money.

Having said the above, Logitek's V-mix with their engine is a neat option 
for a virtual console loaded with bells and whistles.
