urei has a new 2-channel digital mixer w/ digital sampler coming out this march called the 1601S and we (justin and i) are extremely excited about it. check this out:


if this new urei mixer sounds as good as its bigger brother the 1620 then soundcraft is going to have another winner on its hands.
