Phonic 24 channel analog mixing console

From the looks of it it is a nice board. I am asking because I need a larger board with direct outs and this one has twenty of them. I am going to look around and see if I can get one for cheap. I know that everyone uses behringer, but is there an affordable behringer board this size with this many direct outs? The reason that I ask is I plan on upgrading the studio soon with larger sound cards, maybe a few delta 1010s or a MOTU if I can get the cash, I don't know, I want to be able to record a full band at once and this many direct outs would really help. One thing I've heard about Phonics is that they're noisy though, and I use one of there reverbs and it is a bit noisy. I have a smaller phonics mixer but I never use it so I don't know how it sounds really. Anyway, yeah... what do you guys think?

One of the other mods is using a phonics, I dont remember who but its not too bad for the money. But ot be honest if ya can spring a little bit extra over the phonics, I would opt for a Behringer, they arent that much more money and they are deffinately a better board.

d'oh!

I have always considered phonic to be a little under behringer on the "mixer / outboard gear heap". They are good boards, but don't expect perfection ;)

jues.

My bad Loki. I am old and forget things easy, maybe I should read the gear profiles every other day so I remember. :-)
