Good points Charlie.

I'll keep looking at other options. My reason for that choice was mostly to get a rackable mixer so everything could stay connected. I'm the world's worst at getting stuff plugged back together wrong, then having to troubleshoot the problem while the owner and audience wait impatiently. I want to avoid that scenario at all costs.

Current setup errs on the side of being able to wheel in my rack, attach 2 powered speakers, plug in guitar and mic and everything works. Before buying the radio shack mixer, I looked for other rackable mixers and didn't find ANY!

Most mixers are the mixing board style, which would have to be completely torn down and set up every time, and I am REALLY bad at that. If I could find a good quality rack mountable mixer, I'd trash the radio shack mixer in a heart beat. I don't like it... but it solves the problem of quick and functional setups.

I just looked for rackable mixers and found some that look promising! Will probably make this change ...
