<p dir="ltr">I agree on Airmates provided non modular design is acceptable. Their only downside is that they have too many knobs that scare new presenters and tempt know-it-alls to play with things they should not. The number of times I was called to say the red light was not working, or they were getting feedback when the mics were on!</p>

Hi Clive,<br>
<br>
I can only speak from personal experience, but I'd consider looking at the<br>
different ranges of Sonifex mixers and see how they fit within your budget.<br>
The S2 is the dogs dangly bits in terms of flexability and reliability but<br>
the compact, less expensive, S0 also provides pretty much all you need in a<br>
non-upgradable package.<br>
<br>
Speaking from experience the Sonifex mixers provide the best solution to<br>
teach from too. :)<br>
