Which small PA desk ? A+H Zed series, PA series ? other ?

Hi all

I'm sizing up the market for a smaller dimension PA desk, one that would be suitable for those smaller to micro -size stages that we sometimes get lumbered with.
Something with 8 XLR inputs + four phono channels (making up a 12 channel desk) would be ideal, along with at least two outputs for monitors.

I already own a 16;2 Allen and Heath MixWizard desk which sounds just fine, especially with it's four band EQ. However, its' case is definately on the larger side, which just makes it physically too big for small stages.

Thinking around the smaller Allen and Heath desks, I've heard the Zed series are warm sounding, but only have three band EQ's. The PA series have the four band EQ that I like, but I haven't heard much about them in use.

I've heard a 12 channel Mackie desk with my speakers and frankly, it just demonstrated how much better the A +H desks are. The Mackie just sucked the quality out of the sound, while the MixWizard made the rig sound top quality.

My question is, can anyone recommend a relatively small sized desk of good quality ? doesn't have to be A+H, I'm keen to hear people's opinons of other makes too. Quality is definately a key factor however.

Thanks everyone :)

How about a different case for the mix wiz?

We have one where it can be stood vertically in the floor if space is tight.

Thanks for replying NW. Any piccys or links for the case ? I'm using a gator case at the moment, which allows tilting of the desk for connection
