I'm still looking for a lucid explanation of what makes a general-purpose
mixing console suitable for recording and unsuitable for live sound.

That statement alone speaks volumes about why you should not be posting to
aapls.

I've been told by a local live sound eggspurt that Yamaha's 02R96 is not
suitable for live sound, I eventually found out that he arrived at this
opinion after he attempted to demonstrate one at a local venue, and failed
to coax anything out of its main outputs.

The guy was right in some respects. While it can be used for live sound, it
is not an ideal desk for a lot of situations sue to its complexity. A
visiting engineer cannot be shown how to use the desk in 5 minutes at a
festival for example. Same goes for the PM1D and to some extent the PM5D.
MC7L is a much better example for live sound use as it is simple to use and
only needs a few minutes for an experienced engineer to find his way around
it. Since you try to pass yourself off as a local live sound eggspurt you
should have known this already but it just shows yet again you know nothing
and are merely pretending.

I guess he knows more about digital consoles than Yamaha, who describe the
02R96 as being suitable for doing live sound.

Yamaha state it is suitable and in some cases (such as for a production show
in a theatre where it will be used by the same engineer all the time) it is
a great desk but there are a lot of examples where a different choice of
desk aimed more at the live sound market would be a better idea.
