Buy now or wait?
Two rounds in one month and no cuts point one way. If an Allen & Heath mixer is on your list for the winter, the price you see today is more likely to go up than down, and the old prices aren't coming back on their own. Retailers can still run their own promotions, and we will flag any cut in our weekly price drops.
