UTILIZATION

I use it as my mixer to different instruments. The stereo jacks are nice, if you do business the Left mono input is obtained.
I mainly use synths, BAR, and I plug my computer. used to live, it is compact, and the effects are a real plus, I was scared but they make really good. It just takes a little know to know what setting to choose, or cramming the manual.

I know are not good enough to use all the settings on this console. There way to switch the outputs to the mix, but the manual is not very clear on that. Say that the console is pointing finger on my shortcomings in electronics.

SOUNDS

Equalizers are interesting in severe, acute are not really relevant
on the other hand must play between the gain and output levels to have a good sound that does not blow, especially having good jack.
It's pretty frustrating that the low pass better than the acute and often take up more space, so they make pretty good.

After I have reservations about my own abilities yet to set all parameters.

OVERALL OPINION

For a start in these machines is enough. I do not want to take the entry level for fear of having too quickly need more, and indeed, I am overwhelmed at the moment with this console. Despite the slight breath we get to take a good quality.
The effects are not cardboard, and I do not always true, I think she will stay long on my table in the middle of my electronic mess!

Have not yet need a microphone, I can only hope that the ghost jack works properly and provides additional lot of good surprise

everything has already been said about it.

UTILIZATION

Super simple.
Widely.
Very accessible functions.

SOUNDS

I would not say transparent, but the sound is clear, clean, and well-differentiated instruments. The voice is present and I had the pleasure to sing with. Only fault that priest a little on the "p" supported.
I did not notice my breath during normal use (nothing is in background).

OVERALL OPINION

Since June 2013.
2 or 3.
Plus, the presence and clarity of voice and instruments. The FX are pretty good also.
The least: the big pop that force me to sing "b" or move away the microphone during "p" (as more technical language, eh?)
excellent price / quality.
Yes, unless I find better, of course. But my first purchase of the brand inspires trust me.

Small console equipped with built-in effects that I use piano bar alone or with one or two musicians, very easy to use, interesting thing in this price range is that each input has its own gain control, this table is fairly comprehensive for its size (see specifications), the overall quality is good to see invoice in time, however, it inspires confidence and can be very useful for many applications.

UTILIZATION

Configuration simple and intuitive, clear and sufficient notice, many functions for size and price.

Very good alternative to other models. She deserves some attention ...

SOUNDS

Good little console, very little wind, good equalizer
