With the acquisition in 2019 of a second [[Behringer X32]], this one a compact version, the Allen and Heath has a limited use case. It has been used for backup purposes at times where both other desks are in use and a third is required. The most common time this occurs is the annual Roses competition where the Allen and Heath has been used as a studio desk to allow editing PC's to be mixed and managed without tying up smaller and more modern digital desks. | |||
Despite this, the Allen and Heath remains functional and stored for situations which may arise where it is required as a backup desk. | |||

*The LR button on channel 25-26 caused some noise issues on the main LR channels. The entire of the channel seems to be mixed to the right regardless of inputs or pan setting. As the desk was under warranty, it was shipped off to a repair center in Germany. Channel now works fine, but has slightly brighter mute LED than the others. | |||
*Group 4 failed during [[hist:Battle of the Bands 2014|BoB 2014]]. As the desk was ''just'' still under warranty, it has once again been shipped to Germany for repairs. | |||
*The Right channel failed during [[hist:Battle of the Bands 2015|BoB 2015]], with a replacement board being purchased and fitted just before Easter 2015. | |||
*The Left channel was replaced shortly afterwards in late-Summer 2015, after being ~12dB quieter than the newer Right channel. | |||
