If you wish to play with useless technology, try the Behringer at X2442USB at $444.99 - 24 Input 4/2 Bus Mixer with EFX and USB.

Or like the VLZ, Behringer - X1204 USB - 12 Input 2/2 Bus Mixer with EFX and USB at only ^$210.99 CDN.

We have had the Behringer Powerplay Pro-XL HA8000 8-Channel Headphone Amp before, and couldn't believe the amount of noise. (Could not believe that this was a professional audience marketed product.)

It enticed us to get the UCA-202 U-Control DA/AD, for a D/A, as a gateway review product.

Pivetta Opera Only - Very Reactor Core, ala MBL.

Their PA amplifiers may be interesting. INUKE NU12000 DSP (12,000W). Pivetta Opera, anyone?
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/NU12000DSP.aspx

The Pivetta Opera Only amplifier. Good 12-channel amplifer. 10,000 W RMS Class A per channel. 20,000 W RMS Class A per channel if used in stereo (6-channel) configuration. Very Apollo (post Apollo, 4KWx1), in nature.

Price: $2,000,000.00 USD.

If you want to poke an eye out on stage, however, and that's your prerogative, well get yourself a Shure SM-58. At home, you can nail in a hammer, but little more.


Here's an example of a '58 in action. See for yourself.
