Ah - thanks. 12 sub groups on what is effectively a 12 channel mixer?

Are you counting on your fingers? :-)
As stated earlier it has 16 input channels, twelve of
which have phantom.

You said earlier perhaps the other four were line level only. Don't you
know?

In music recording there are many sources that need no microphone
(and so no phantom) - Bs guitar can be DI, as can rhythm gtrs,
keyboards, drum machines etc. Some of these use a self powered
DI box, or plug straight into the console.

No ****, Sherlock? Perhaps you don't understand phantom power. Properly
installed, it has no effect on a source which doesn't require it.

So 16 into 24 is ideal. One puts down drums and bass first
- that's eleven channels -I'll leave you to work that out - and then
continue with overdubs, keys, strings, brass, woods, percussion
and vocals, separately, often one or two channels only at a time.

I'm sure it would have its uses in a budget studio.

How many studios have you worked in, Iain, where 12 channels of mic amps
would be adequate for everything? Perhaps OK for a home one where you have
all the time in the world.
