I am far from a pro that certainly will not buy that table anyway, but it has the advantage of being the only two stereo channels with separate EQ and so many possibilities on each channel. Low is also the price of output tables for 2 years

we find the technical information on all sites and Behr has posted the data sheet, the manual is clear and french, all very well detailed, I enjoyed the pre-sales service!

the connection is very practical, high quality, well positioned, the 2 stereo channels each on a 3-band equalizer and the level / effect. To 1 / bus with a send effect + the ability to integrate other sources (RCA) as a CD or another PC (laptop for a friend of electro beef), one can listen to or mix.

I Essey the preamp with a microphone (not high quality it is true): not terible when I got a much better quality when I connected to my hi-fi amplifier, not Essey on the sound card but the result should be better on a soundblaster!

I just Essey with a microphone, I do not like the songs let alone the song.

there are no faders, 60 mm is too short anyway, less accurate than the knobs properly adjusted. the equalizer 3-band is useful for premixes, it actually changes the sound, it gives me an idea of ​​the report but I would not leave like that for a recording, you need to redo my opinion on a PC before.
by pushing a bottom heavy and greasy souflle escapes from the console .... but in real case I prefer not to think that I have to push them that far anyway ;-)

UTILIZATION

Reason for this purchase: mix multiple sources (PC and Analogik synths + effects) to a PC for good listening and recording at a reasonable price!
it greatly simplifies my connections and can store everything in the blink of an eye.

the config is minimal!

I enjoyed the pre-sale: online manual + specs ...
Paper manual in French very detailed.

SOUNDS

Otherwise, it adds the sin / dynamic compared to a direct connection from a sound card on an amp but also compression in the midrange and lower midrange: we like it or not, I do not have a compressor and j ' rather enjoys the 80's made ...
as the treble is not affected it does not bother me.

it makes no noise or other power supply from 10 am to use. not breathing either. After extensive use, there is on the breath! you can not push her to the table but with the apps do.

Eq is really effective, may be too, related to the precision / race knobs.

OVERALL OPINION

Ddepuis 5 months, all my audio system passes through it, 5h/jour mini.

his little + is a separate control that allows the headphone, after adjustments, to mix + / - with the headset without it becoming too tiring (I could not before this purchase: too many different frequencies)

I do not understand the value of integrating the preamp also bof in such a small console, I would much rather another stereo (or 2) left to put a mic preamp quality front! for a table that price you can put in a good preamp + if it is needed and that we keep in case of buying a table and big. the manufacturer has made the economy of a change in the circuit on a product Adapted + fat, improve old and transplanted ... when he could sell it cheaper and more appropriate (I'm) the current market for small homestudio pregnant ...

not essey other console in this price range (not seen) I can hardly compare. it is far from Yamaha 01 that I know better but including itself perfectly in a small config / low budget.

I put 9 because it has not still not a great quality, excellent seller benoit had said to me "when get tired of hearing thee with the breath, you'll take quality over" indeed but I have no place to put a studio set on my desk and I did not like the idea of ​​having a console for 3-4 1 meter stereo channels max. and 4 preamp, which are useless ...

and + drive has been that nearly cost me the cables cost the table!
price / quality ratio is excellent! unfocused probably ...

as is often the small budgets that the reluctant +, I have this opinion but I'm not really qualified to criticize a mixer: SoundForge was my teacher!

finally I'm pretty happy with the "console a two way bus" with synthetic sources, I did not need +!
and when comparing with other console you must add 100 € for 2 microphones + with no use to me so I do it again this choice of course.
but this is not a console "for life" recess
