Neil,

I've used a Rolls RM65 for years and for me, it is the perfect solution. My setup is nearly identical to yours and the Rolls is a big part of it. Did you experiment with the input gain controls on the back of the unit? They're critical adjustments. Mine's staying. I don't think there's another unit on the market that allows for six balanced phantom selectable inputs with EQ and FX into stereo all in a single rack space. And no wall wart! Incredible. Maybe you got a dud. Cheers, Ken

Not specific to Voce, but I know some of you folks gig and I thought this question would be of general interest. You can flame me if not.

I have a rack with 3 synth modules in it (one of them my V3). Right now I use a Roland KC500 amp (has four line-level inputs), and for a variety of reasons I'd rather go for a rack-mount submixer.

I just brought home a Rolls RM65 to try. Two words: it sucks. It adds incredible amounts of hiss. This thing will make the V3 line output seem like a studio-quiet masterpiece. Even your nearly-deaf guitar bandmates could hear the hiss coming out of this thing.

Ok, so that's going back to the store. My question is: what are other folks using?

I gig, and our band doesn't have roadies :-) -- so I really want something small and light. I intend to set all the trim and levels once and never touch the mixer again (ideally) once I get it set up in my rack. The RM65 seemed like the perfect solution, if only it worked right.

Anyone out there have a submixer they are happy with?
