Soundtracs were OK in their day but this mixer must be pretty old. I would
check it out fully before buying it as there may well be lots of niggling
faults on it that will make it a PITA to keep running.

To be honest you may as well get a new Behringer board which will work just
as well sonically and you have a warranty should anything go wrong with it.

Behringer don't do anything that size. I was looking recently.

the soundtracs were a spin off from soundcraft, if I recall this desk is
similar to a K2, it will sound better than the behringer offering. however,
very well may not be in the best working condition as it is an older unit...
check it out if it looks good go for it
