[BC] RE: Mackie & Berhinger Mixers For A Radio Station

[Tom Taggart]

I used a Mackie 1402 (???--smallest slide fader mixer they make) for 
about a year on our one FM. (I'm at home, the mixer is on a shelf at 
the station, so I am gong by memory)

1. OK for the price, I just needed it to mix a satellite feed and a 
computer feed, so I wasn't worried about muting, or even monitor feed.

2. Some channels & faders are stereo, so you don't need a gizmo to 
run two at once. This is a 14 channel, memory is either 4 or 6 were 
stereo, quite adequate for my needs.

3. Had both balanced and unbalanced outputs. Balanced was a tad low.

4.RF: No problems. Used in control room 250 feet from bottom bay of a 
4 bay FM running 17 kw ERP. (The building is a Faraday 
shield--chicken wire in the walls bonded to a perimeter ground.)
