[SBE] Peavey PV6USB

[Bo]

Hi Edwin,

I have no experience with this particular Peavey, but I've never been a big
fan of their mixers because their sliders to get noisy.  

One mixer I used and was very surprised by is the Behringer Xenyx 1204FX.
The preamps have a lot of headroom and are quiet.

The best small mixer I've ever used is Mackie, I have had the non-USB
version of this one for many years and it's awesome.

For your client, if he doesn't need more than one mic.

I've recommended this to several of our local radio stations.  It's from
Shure, so it works well.  It converts any standard mic into a USB mic.

If the client can transfer to his laptop after the fact these Edirol R-09
recorders are great, I've got two and they kick but!!!

I am trying to give a client a very simple solution to recording interviews
into his laptop. 
 
Cost, complexity and size are all key concerns. I do not want to use the
built in sound card for all the usual reasons.  I do not want a mixer and an
audio interface as I know there are USB solutions.  
 
I recently provided this same client with a pro-sumer USB line level
interface, that cost <$100.  Very impressive performance and more features
than the $500-$700 "broadcast pro" boxes.  So that is how this application
will be handled.

Anybody have experience with the Peavey PV6USB mic mixer, or similiar
product such as the Alesis 4 ch USB?  I prefer the Peavey because it has
four mic inputs.   
 
Thanks
