For most services at an alternative venue (e.g. Reigate Park Church) the portable kit and small XR18 mixer is adequate. Note: Now that we have a more permanent setup in Spurgeon, we have purchased new cables. We should not normally need to derig Spurgeon to use an alternate venue. Please notify of any shortages.
For certain services with a lot of channels in use (e.g. Carol Service or Church Weekend Away) the X32 mixer might be preferable.
