  dole73's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Rackable
  
  - 4 votes mono and 4 stereo voices. TO 4 on each slice.
  
  - Connectors XLR, Jack and RCA.
  
  - The equalizer is set to single slices.
  
  - No effects section.
  
  - Ability to be released in digital (SPDIF output on the back)

  Utilization

  - The general configuration is simple.
  
  - The functions are easily accessible.
  
  - However, and that's why I put in 10, the manual is in English (while for the EPM, which is less expensive, the box provides you a guide in French). on the other hand, soundcraft book with a nice little guide, certainly in English, on mixing with the Spirit range.

  Sounds

  - The console is clear and transparent.
  
  - There is no breath, it's great.
  
  - The equalizer is very effective, good quality, like mic preamps, which are also of excellent quality.

  Overall Opinion

  - I use it for a week.
  
  - The characteristic I like most? Well there are several: it is transparent, good quality, complete, finishes are also good quality and very beautiful! The faders are nice to handle.
  
  - I have tried a few other models from Soundcraft (I am a blind faith in Soundcraft) including EPM and Spirit E (more precisely a Spirit ES with 10 stereo inputs, but which is unfortunately no longer manufactured).
  
  - The value for money is good. I bought it at Thoman to 398 euros.
  
  - Yes I do it again this choice.

  Characteristics

  No rack,
  
  
  
  4 mono channels: direct outs, XLR microphone input, line input jack, insert, parametric eq, 2For pre-fader, 2 post faders with button, PFL, mute, LED signal presence and saturation, I probably forgot
  
  4WAY stereo line jack inputs, inserts, non-parametric eq (low-high), the rest is the same as the mono channels.
  
  
  
  Overall a very good architecture with many opportunities, quality construction, 100mm fader is very nice and good ergonomics.
  
  
  
  Pleasant surprise, too, the presence of a digital output

  Utilization

  RAS on the use, it will take care of every one because it is well designed.

  Sounds

  Not even the slightest breeze is quite impressive.
  
  on the other hand I found the equalizer not very convincing, and no possibility of by-pass, pull the big sound it shows a little less fat.
  
  In short it is very clean but not very typical

  Overall Opinion

  8 / 10 because it is a console that is well within its price range:
  
  - The most ergonomics, build quality, clean sound
  
  - The least: the equalization bof, lack of personality of this console
  
  
  
  In the same price range, you will find old soundcraft with his best (but probably with repairs and a much larger size)
