All user reviews for the Phonic MM1705a

This is a console 11 inputs (5 mono, 3 stereo), which is quite curious and original, but may suit some configurations (including mine!). 3-band EQ on all channels 2 subgroups, 5 outputs, two effects inserts, a headphone output. For the price, that's all you can wait, I think.

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear, comprehensive but ... in English, if I remember correctly! That said, it's not a big problem: the table works like all other tables and is rather well designed and ergonomic. Everything is very solid.

SOUNDS

Some find that the consoles Phonic sound a bit metallic. This is not my opinion. For me, the sound is neutral. The equalizer, moreover, is very good. In contrast, the mic preamps are really poor: Can not directly connect a condenser microphone on it! Obligaoire external preamp. But hey, the price of the table, one would expect ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use the mm1705 for nearly a year and I am delighted. The sound that comes out of this console is very good, and I never found the slightest breeze! Phonic is not a household name in France. I think it's a shame, because their consoles are, in my opinion, very good. The only problem if you want to work with a condenser microphone is that it will buy an external preamp and more. Alternatively, for dynamic microphones and instruments, it's really perfect.

Cf characteristics set by Porridge14. The scope of the 5-way mono and stereo 3-way configuration is a little weird ^ ^

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, this table has the basic functions that you would expect from a mixer of this price.
The manual is in two parts (an English manual and a manual french), but the french part is less comprehensive than in English.

SOUNDS

This is my first console, so I was not really a comparison.
I do not have any problems of breath, I think this console is neutral.
By the equalizer against are daunting! They cut out their frequencies

OVERALL OPINION

I use the console for three months and I am very satisfied. It has a good value for money.
I had the opportunity to tater Behringer few before buying, but the Phonic seems more robust.

If I had to buy a console for that price, I would definitely buy the MM1705a

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using already two and a half years, and she is pretty because I are nothing else at hand, it served its purpose but nothing more ... When you REALLY goes into the world of audio, we realize that quality is important ... trs trs The ratio Q / P is not bad. Finally the price was what was what.

Between 5 microphones (XLR or jack 6.5) with gain + 3 rglage line between Stereo Jack (6.5)

UTILIZATION

Although the manual is almost virgin, I find it quite easy to use with respect to the output rglage gnrale. on the other hand I find it quite dlicate, when working on multiple outputs.
I often pulling his own hair or come to know of the problem when I had no sound on one of my auxiliary outputs.

SOUNDS

Hum hum hum! no comment! ! !

OVERALL OPINION

Sincrement I regret that only between 5 and microphones SETTING THE gain.
This table is sold to 12 between a table, while you can put only 5 instrumentals or micro (less than prampli not add on other inputs).
Cot rate, there is nothing to say, it's cheap it was worth the money. IDAL is to begin. But you will be stuck fast by its small number of entries.
For a battery, two scrapers, a bass, microphone 2 is too small. See rather invest on a 16 yamaha joined.

It's a small format, rather complete with 18 inputs in all, distributed as follows:
- 5 Microphone inputs with gain, phantom and xlr
- 3 Stereo inputs with a switch -10 db / + db
- 2 Stereo effect returns simple eg.
- 1 RCA stereo input on simple

Equipped

- 2 Subgroups
- 2 Aux sends
- 1 Master
- 1 Monitor output
- 1 Mono output
- 1 Record output
- 1 PFL on each input
- 1 Headphone
3-band eq -1 for admissions to fader

I used it to rehearse with a band, for evening, small sound systems, home on my pc etc. ...

UTILIZATION

It is simple but complete, depending on what is intended.
The manual is very comprehensive (other apparently did not have the same record)

SOUNDS

It has good sound quality. The mic preamps are not great but it works very well.
The equalizer, although reduced to 3 bands, is very effective and progressive.
 
There's a bit of noise, but nothing bad, it's not for the studio, however!

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for 6 years without any problem and it worked well.
Nothing kidding, no cracking. It is solid and serious.

The negatives:
No real gain setting on the stereo, in -10, it's too hard, + 3, is too low. Not easy to adjust properly.
A little hiss.

The pros:
Value for money very good
Good sound quality
EQ simple but effective and progressive
Rated "good to do anything"
Extensive connections

For use as a "dogsbody", without claiming full pro abilities, I'll go back to it without any problems this product is quality and really cheap.
Phonic is renowned for its reliability and its low price.
I also have an amplifier of this brand that satisfies me.
