You can probably get in to a used Soundcraft Spirit LX7 or an A&H GL2400 on that budget. I use the Soundcraft and like it alright.

In your price range you might like this http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com...cts?sku=631371 I have used the 16 and 32 channel versions andthey are good boards for the money.

I'll be that guy that suggests something way out of your price range. Consider the Presonus Studiolive. The 24 channel is $3300 and the 16 channel is only $2k.

But it's a digital board that gives you HPF, limiter, gate, comp, full parametric EQ, verb, and delay on every channel. If you purchased that all as outboard gear it would be extremely expensive. Also has 10 aux sends.

What he said. We have been using the 16 channel one for well over a year and could not be happier.

Been there with losing channels on a Behringer.
Can't stand Yamahas (except their pro boards) because there's not enough latitude in the mic preamp. Can't turn it down far enough for hot signals (and no pad) and they'll distort really easily.

I swear by Mackie mixers--just got a new 24ch Onyx and love it.
You can find a gently used one in your price range.
