Ok! So I have just read Hugh's glowing report on this mixer....how dare he!! Holidays
imminent, uncertain income next year, price of fuel and now SOS has me in a half nelson
over this desk. Hugh, couldn't you have lied and put some more negatives in there, what
about the colour, is the desk angled correctly, are the knobs tactile enough....does it
self clean? c'mon help me out here!!! Dave

When I saw the spec, capabilities
and online demos of the 24M, I had to go and have a quiet lie down.
I think I
actually wrote a long email to Allen and Heath saying this is what a desk should be like.
I didn't actually expect them to build the bleedin' thing.

ditto reg, I had discussions with A&H some years ago about what i wanted to see
implemented on a descendent of the Gs3000... being the mutant offspring of the GS3V and
Gs3K , and a few other bits....
oh look..... almost EXACTLY what i
asked for... and more or less at the price point i suggested .

I haven't received my magazine yet. Did Hugh compare it to the Midas Venice F series which
is cheaper and recieved glowing reviews from SoS?

No direct comparison John, although the Venice was mentioned in the alternatives box. Andy

I'm not even sure they are directly comparable... The Midas doesn't offer any DAW control
facilities, and is at its heart still a live mixer (there's no 'proper' control room
section, there are fewer auxes, and IIRC some of these are designated pre-fader stage
monitor outputs and can't be switched post-fader, there's no moving-fader option, etc).
Both look lovely though! I haven't used either of them, but I've got plenty of
experience with other GS-series desks, and I've used the older Venices in anger many times
too. My educated guess would say that the Midas is more of a bomb-proof utilitarian desk,
with EQs that do what you tell them to, and that the A&H is a slightly more
musical-sounding affair... Or at least, that's the impression I get from using older
mixers from the same companies.
Cheers!

Looks like a great desk, though the one thing about A&H I really don't like is the
separate faders for L+R. I mean, wtf?
