Yeah, right. 16. No way. 12-channel desk with 2 sends and 2 stereo returns. 12 + 2 + 2 = 16, geddit? Not a bad little desk, though. The Mackie is cascaded into this one to give a grand total of 22 channels. In fact, 24 as the other console is fed into FX return 2 on this one. The cascade arrangement makes our routing options as concerns outboard gear a little more limited than we'd like but we don't have very much money, comprende?
