Totally satisfied, i have been mixing for over 17 years and have tried every brand out thoroughly. All mixers work, but i would say they are more like cars. They all get you to the same place, but some do it better than others. This mixer is an Aston Martin in the presence of Fords, but without the high price. You can keep all your brands made in the far east, this one is built in Spain (not known for build quality), but puts Vestax, Numark, Stanton and all the others to shame. Go Spain, you da man!
Price paid: $499.99 USD
UTILIZATION
I gave this an 8, although there is nothing to lose marks on, 10/10 would be too pushy. I'll save higher scores for other mixers they bring out later on. The Hak 320 has the cleanest interface, with no obtructiuons whatsoever on the front panel, its a dream mixer.
SOUNDS
I can only give this a ten, based on my previous Vestax mixer with an 8. The oversized intenal power supply makes this unit, and all of the rest of the Ecler line, sound cleaner, warmer and more punchy than all the other "underpowered" units out there. Closest to it: Rane. But I find them boring and plain. Again, it is like a car, I would rather have something that inspired me than the boring choice that is usually depended on by the masses.
OVERALL OPINION
They gacve me a 1 year warranty on my crossfader, no one can beat that. Also in JUly 02, they are bringhing out the HAK360, with a huge 5 year warranty on the crossfader, you can't get better than that. The tascam copies out there are buiolt by Ecler, but the Ecler branded units costs less and have better warranties. No brainer, just stick with Ecler! Also, House of Blues have just started to put them in thewir Hollywood and Las vegas venues, nuff said!
I love it to death, saving the highest marks for the new HAK360. The only other competition in this category comes from Vestax and Rane. As I mentioned: Rane=boring, vestax=expensive, Ecler=exciting/economical/better sound/not every one has them/fader warranties
