Okay. Another dumb question... What does a mic preamp do? |

It simply bumps the volume of the microphone before it goes to the amp. That could help you out by... You'll keep the main microphone down on your amp/mixer which could end up with less feedback. Sammy |

I have a powered mixer now but am looking into a passive mixer with powered speakers. I notice a lot of people use the Mackie DFX12 which I believe includes mic preamps. What mixer would you recommend for a pair of Mackie SWA1801's and a pair of Carvin 1584A's? I do mostly small clubs indoor and outdoor, and a few reception halls now and then. |

All mixers now days have a mic preamp built in of some sort. Some are better than others. External mic preamps are geared more for the studio. Live settings CAN wreak havoc with feedback. |

I went to The Guitar Center last night in Austin and was looking at the Mackie mixers. I like the simplicity (AND the price) of the DFX12, but I REALLY like the mid range EQ for the channels and the separate sub output on the CFX12! I'm just wondering how involved a mixer like that would be to run compared to the simpler ones out there.

The CFX is what I run. Look at it this way, "learn" 1 channel, then you know the rest of the board - so to speak. Mixers are not hard, even the bigger ones. most of the knobs are either part of the eq, or effect & monitor sends. |
