PLASA09: Allen and Heath XB14 Broadcast
  16-Sep-09

For a complete broadcast desk, that's a lot cheaper than other products!

Thinking of starting a podcast, and this, with a built in USB, would be perfect!

Thanks for the tip, Nick! (Especially since A&H hasn't promoted it...)

Nice and complete mixer with USB. Also a few cons:no scriptplace and very small LEDbars which are not very accurate to work with. Hopefully in the near future.

....I forgot...a masterfader? I think this is not done on a broadcastmixer.

Jacco... the mixer features a dedicated multi-pin output that feeds external equipment the mian program audio. The intention of this output is to connect it to external metering equipment. The XB-14 isn't an entire broadcasting studio in one mixer, it's a mixer designed to be be integrated into a broadcasting studio.

Jacco: ALL broadcast mixers that I have worked with have master faders. They exist a) to allow output level to be matched to downstream equipment, and b) to allow the entire desk output to be muted/adjusted in case of some internal failure or problem.

We look forward in working with the Allen and Heath xb14 on our operation at Raidersbroadcast Music channel in London. It reminds us of the Soundcraft series 5 which has been dicontinued. Which we feel is a big mistake by Soundcraft.
