All user reviews of 3/5 for the Mackie 8 Bus Series 24/8/2

Is rack?
Not
What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)?
XLR jacks. Many routing options.
How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)?
24 channels, 6 in (including 4 simultaneously through a system switch), 8 subgroups and inserts on the edges.
The parametric equalizer is it?
Yes, a lot of possibilities in terms of EQ when mastering the beast. Adjusting Q-setting low medium and high, and then more classically severe and acute

UTILIZATION

The configuration is pretty simple overall, a little harder to get in to the routing, but once you understand the logic of the system in-line and also subgroups, okay.
What I regret is at auxiliary to 4 at the same time is a bit limited for live use, especially when 2 are switchable.

SOUNDS

The sound is very clear, and I do not think the console deteriorating sound unlike other reviews. Maybe it depends on the use of the console, and storage conditions.
After that, we should not expect a warm sound coloration, unlike consoles English is clear.
EQs are good qualities.
The preamps are a bit limited internal limit level gain, and we quickly come to end, but still I've always managed to do what I wanted. Again this is a console that turns more towards the recording to live at home ...
Neither more nor less than a breath console Normally, the power supply is separate (and weighs a dead donkey ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I used 3 years.
I used 6 models of digital and 3 analog consoles.
I do not think I would do this choice because I am not using the system in-line eventually, and also because of the auxiliary is my main concern, if its level I do not complain!
