Mixers/Preamps

I currently have a Behringer MX 2004A.
I was thinking of getting a Mackie Mixer possibly the 1202.
How much better are the Mackie preamps to the Behringer Preamps? Is there another brand/option that i could look at?

I use the mixer mainly as the interface between my mics and my sound card. Just the preamps though.

Cheers.

The 2004 is an excellant mixer. Honestly I think rather then investing in another mixer, your money would be better spent on just a dedicated Pre-amp if that is your only concern.

Reason for this is you will not get a decent trade for a used mixer, and the Mackie is going to cost twice what you paid for the Behringer. So invest that differance in a good mic pre and you will come out far ahead.

And adding my 2 cents worth. I own several Behringer mixers, and use their 3282 desk. I dont have any issues between the Mackie and Behringer pre's.

Ok, thanks.
Can you recommend any rackmount preamps in particular?

Have a look here in our gear directory. There are several to shoose from in a wide price range. The ART TRS II is a pretty cometative price and gets good ratings. It has fairly decent specs as well.
