Could someone recommend a field mixer for about two thousand UDS.
I just got the Sound Devices 302 and don't like how little it is and
hard to operate.
I would like something bigger that can also run on batteries.
Thanks for any help

Try the Sound Devices 442. The Shures are also pretty tiny and also
somewhat deficient in ergonomics but you might look at the FP33
anyway.

Stay away from the Bellari.... it actually doesn't sound bad at all
but it isn't very solidly built.

I think the Cooper and Sonosax stuff is going to be out of your price
range, but you might look around for some of their stuff used.

Quolle is also starting to get into the US market with some nice little
field production mixers which are nicely built. I don't know if they
make anything as small as you want but I'd look into their line.
