I start. Tribute this minimix I love and I There&#39;s Discoveries 20 years he&#39;s taken a full orchestra. The chassis is available with rack or wooden parts varnish. The console comes in several versions: mono, stereo, quad or three buses. The connection is gnralement rear XLR inputs and for the insert jack is stereo. All of the connections (bus master, monitor, AUX SEND) is XLR. The EQ has three bands. Ct EQ, the low shelf is a little short but makes pretty things. Subtraction is an unstoppable low cut which excavates all frquences indsirables. In boost, it helps to bring back the bass deep and vibrating the low end (gnial raliste to make the steps of a lphant or weapon !!!). Then takes the semi parametric Relva and starts at the bottom, excellent for brown overtones of a bass instrument. This paragraph is semi linear and rises high enough to treble. With this knob, you can fix almost the entire spectrum. Great music, you can have fun with and without correction EXAGRES dtimbrer. We can therefore boost of 10 db 3000 Hz to bring out a female voice in the mix without dfigurer texture. Grosse quality that allows over-qualiser without PForm. This makes the semi para 169 trs effective because you can mix and place dtach DIFFERENT lments mix, allocate band frequency drives diffrent heights, all remaining tr s trs musical. it is for me one of the great quality of 169 slices. The top end (hi ​​shelf) trs is clear and smooth. The bills are excellent pramplis (input transformer and Sorites) and trs big potato: we obtain the nominal output level with an SM57 without booster. Super quality audio. 10/10!

UTILIZATION

The console is very simple. A beginners will have a rel a pleasure working on a tool as simple. The routing is basic. Sommationnent slices in the master. No galre routing is a minimix. The usual functions are directly without making head. It sounds IMMEDIATE! The manual that is never found is available on the Internet. Go little help for those seeking the doc, she is free to the ACCS studer ftp:

Everything is there, process calibration, schematics, measurements, etc ... dtails

SOUNDS

T says it all this. I give my opinion.
The console has a pretty color though she plutt soft pchue. The Mic preamps are "open" and allow to obtain a good quality prsence of trs. The console does not blush ct of 1073, some 169 prfrent same sound at the neve. A blind test in a blind switch is surprising. For those familiar with the sound neve, the microphone preamp is studer Submitted and softer mdium up and dig down in the nave. Compar other mixers, the advantage of being relatively Studer is transparent unlike a trident which dgueulera. The Studer is a real tool box, a real Swiss Army knife (STUDER is Swiss, it&#39;s not for nothing) that works on all types of projects. For production in modern music (rap, electronica) the mix will all energo and percussivit ncessaire snapping. For lovers of analos taken, the amp will fulfill its mission perfectly by boosting your mics without PForm color. Coupled with a good U47 or static, we can will appreciate the high quality audio mixer, the signal / noise ratio and excellent softness in the upper mids and treble.

OVERALL OPINION

For me, the 169 is IDAL because I can catch and mixing with. The console is effective in all cases of figures. It provides that the search-ings sounds: the energy of the presence, potato gently. I am looking aujourdh&#39;ui couple several mixers as it is possible to chain multiple chassis while keeping a master chassis and the chassis that sommationne slaves which can replace the master section by other modules. A chassis 169 can be recessed 14 modules and chassis 269 allows to put 20. Enchainer, you can configure a large mixer. I have not tried yet because I want another console. In the doc, a section is devoted for this purpose but I can not say for now since I have not tried. Feel free to send me a message for those who would make this change. In fact, it is to connect the motherboards (backplanes) with a cable to the chassis DIFFERENT behave as a unique console! Case continued ...
Assurment a great choice for lovers of sound, the sound ings, the console is robust, failures are rare and often bgnines, the mix is ​​easy to transport which allows to make the sound a little everywhere. It takes up little space and do that PSE 16 kg. A good rack full of preamps eq super!
The price of a single nave, there&#39;s no picture!! For the skeptics, to the costs, it is found in many cabins professional punctual.
