oh beloved mixwizard

Oh mixwizard,
I could come up with, in a spur of the moment, ten reasons why you'd be the perfect addition to our humble gatherings at Level Three.

1. First and foremost, you belong here. You fit right into the space allocated for your kind. And you leave us space to place my monitoring headphones by the side.

2. Next up, you meet all our needs. I didnt have to hook up another mixer to accomoate the rest of the inputs. Sweet.

3. You take your job seriously, and your elder sibling has proven its prowress- limitless bandwidth, clear mixes, which translates into great sound! I can't imagine how much better you will sound.

4. Try as I may, I could never coax you into producing any form of feedback at all. 

5. Your sweepable midrange allows me to boost as low as 35hz. That means I can now boost 45hz (for bass and the kick drums) and 50hz for the piano. Did I ever mention that you were always able to do them so well?

6. Despite your dimunitive dimensions, you're about the only lean machine that allows us to do grouping- a rarity in mixers of your class. Thanks to you, we can ride the band and vocal sections seperately.

7. You've a wealth of outputs- perfect for our setup that needs to cater for the needs of the cry room, the adjoining halls, and even the basement.

8. You've individual phantom powers for every channel- perfect because we dont have the luxury of many active DI boxes. Now, we're sending current to the right stuff, and sparing the vocalists from a shock should their lips decide to kiss the mic. Ewww...

9. You're simple - I'm sure the rest of the folks warmed up to you pretty quickly. 

10. You're sorely missed by us all! We were all waiting for you to come back- but alas, you were already in the loving hands of someone else. Never had I had so many questions about you, in the likes of "Can we trade in our existing system for the loan set we have now? It sounds so much better!" 

Unfortunately, you're elusive. You don't come cheap. At $2,500 thats just part of the equation, we'd need another sum of investment for a proper, healthy mate (power amplifier) that will bring out only the best, and keep you singing in the right tune.

So, pray tell, can you drop from heaven into our loving hands?
