There have been a couple of questions on rack mount mixers.  I just
went through the process of purchasing a rack mount mixer.

My intent was to have a mixer that would work for the small jobs that
I do.  I needed quiet performance for the live recording that I do.  I
wanted 4 auxes for the live styff I do.

I looked at the Alesis, Mackie and the DOD before I bit the bullet and
spent a lot more on the Allen and Heath Scepter.

The Scepter is a 12 channel rack mount stereo mixer (12x2x1).  It has all of
the features that the Mackie missed (like masters on the sends!) and
quality that the Alesis couldn't even think of.

The Scepter is designed and built like a big board but in a rack mount
package that is only 10 RU high (17.75").

I will post a summary if there is interest.

The Scepter lists for $2700 but worth it!
