My only criticism...

... of the Mini Line Mixer is that due to its small size, the output and power jacks have to be on the front. Thankfully I just about managed to get two right-angled Neutrik jacks to fit across the front of the unit with the power lead between them (going the other way) so it doesn't take up too much room on my rack shelf, but it does then make the level knob slightly tricky to turn. If there was a Midi size line mixer (1/3U or so) that would enable the output etc to be on the back, it would make life easier.

Other than that, I have no criticism with the unit. It replaced my Rolls MX28 mixer as it was more transparent sounding and flexible, and the dry-mute feature is a useful fault-finding feature for when things go wrong.
 
Just thought of another... well, not a criticism, but a suggestion. So maybe this should go in the Suggestion Box? Hmmm, decisions decisions...

Something that I think would be useful in the MLM would would be if you could remotely switch the kill-dry function on via a footswitch. It would make using whammy effects for example easier. I know I could route my dry signal via a spare loop in my Effect Gizmo to mute it if needed, but as the kill-dry function is already there, it would mean less excess cabling in my rig. I know other people have said the same about the Suhr Mini-Mix, so I can't be alone in my thoughts here (for once) :)

Just a thought...

That's come up before, and I'm thinking about making the dry input mono, and converting the formerly "Dry L" jack to a dry mute control input.

Then again, everyone seems to be asking for a larger line mixer... Decisions, decisions...

That would be cool... be even better if it was field replaceable :)

I'd need a bigger rack if I wanted a bigger line mixer. I'm not using input 3 as it is. And that'd be heavier... me and my bad back! Quite fancy a TC D-Two though... you don't do pedal rehousing so I could squeeze them onto a 1U rack shelf do you? They wouldn't need to be stomp-able (in fact, always on would be great) ;)
 
I'm with Martin here...love everything about the mixer except for no dry kill. To my mind, that would be the upgrade that puts it over the top...maybe I could buy the first prototype? :cool:
 
Without wanting to pull the thing apart if it's not possible, how feasible would it be to do some internal re-routing so that I could connect the outputs to one pair of rear jacks? I don't use one set of inputs so wouldn't mind losing them if necessary. Is it just a case of resoldering some wires, or would it involve cutting lines on circuit boards etc? The first is perfectly feasible, but the second isn't something I'd like to attempt!
 
Well, there are no wires in there - everything is on the circuit board. So, I'm afraid to say, some serious circuit board modifications are necessary to make that work...
