Thanks!
The input jacks are kind of cool on this mixer.  In addition to accepting those beaters ( ), they actually accept both XLR and 1/4-in. plugs.  I haven't seen these kind of jacks before.

You haven't?  They're quite common these days. I've even soldered quite a few of them myself.

This is the first mixer I've owned, and apparently all of the ones I've used before were old.  *shrug*

It's something you see quite often on new mixers. Still, could be worse, the really old mixers I see only had jack inputs, not even XLR.

I still wish I had learned a little earlier of the out of business garage sale of the youth center I used to work at. By the time I learned of it both the FOH and monitor mixers were already gone. For peanuts! Imagine getting a 24 channel Midas Venice mixer plus flightcase for like a 100+ euro? Or a similar Soundcraft?

I shouldn't complain though, I got a small mixer, the rehearsal room mixer plus speakers, the amps and EQ's of the monitor rack, the FOH FX rack and the complete mic set. For €125.
