Value For Money :
Excellent
First of all, let me describe my use of the console.
I used to electronic music (MC303, KorgSP250, etc.) in-home studio.
Everything is connected to the console that is connected to an audio interface for recording.
This is an analog console, so no built-in effects (reverbs not, delay or otherwise).
No band parametric equalizer, but for every three tracks, including stereo tracks that pass the door very often on consoles compact (treble, mid, bass, classical).
The console has 4 input channels + 4 stereo or mono mic channels.
A main section, a control room, in short as practical.
No output "multitrack" kind 8 separate tracks but still the bus send3 / 4 always practical for "sort" a few tracks for recording.
These are rotary knobs rather than faders.
It is small, a criteria I was looking for but weighs weight despite the size. Sign of good build quality? We will see in years ...
For the rest of the specifications, I invite you to see the card manufacturer that will always be more accurate than my description
UTILIZATION
Configuration is very simple.
We unpack, plug the instrument, headphones and speakers, are mounted and it's good gains.
All functions are accessible to the first contact (on the other hand, is an analog console, so no menu or submenu). You turn the knobs on its "reaction", simple as.
The rotation of the knobs is a little harsh, but this is what gives the precision settings. In addition, the fact whether they are knobs and faders do not bother me in any way because once my instrument calibrated, I do not touch the knobs virtually no gain ... and I win the place
A small downside to the instructions in English (very clear and understandable), but allergic to the language of Shakespeare will be disappointed not to read in French.
SOUNDS
The sound is nickel.
I record from a Konnect24D which has excellent audio converters. The problem is that I had a good console to be able to connect my instruments "finally" and then connect the console itself to Konnect, and all without loss of audio quality.
Ben, I am more than satisfied!
No embarrassing blow, the headroom (in case) and an equalizer that is what is asked. That the (very) good!
Simple but effective.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it only for a few months and so far, I find nothing wrong.
What I like most is the audio quality of the table while still being very compact.
I tried several models before this one, recent, and not so recent, an Alesis Multimix, a ProMix01, a behringer and I know what else. Each has its own qualities and flaws, but I must say that I am bleuffé the simplicity / efficiency / quality of the (small) mackie.
In the end, I put that very high marks because for my use, it is perfect: small, practical, simple but extremely effective.
I paid € 278 and I must say that I do not regret this purchase, on the contrary. Excellent quality / price ratio, it is a choice that I do it again without problems.
