OVERALL OPINION
Show me the 24 channels version.
I wanted to put a notice on the 32 ways to restore some things said below. To say that this console is overpriced for a product of this quality seems unrealistic. It should be renseiller first price consoles. And yes, an SSL or a Neve, it is actually 100 times more than the Mackie. So knowing this, the price of the Mackie seems fairly justified. After, say that there are only eight buses, and yeah, that's still not a Neve or SSL and it does not pretend to be one. As for the issue of sound quality that is soft is an enormity. This is one of the most punchy console in this price range (compared to other Soundcraft Berhinhger and you will be surprised). I compared the Mackie EQ with 3 other consoles: SSL 4048G, Amek / Neve Big One and Trident series Alice. They were less accurate but more musical than the SSL, but less than the Amek, and those of the Trident had more headroom. But the performance of the Mackie, although lower, were not absolutely ridiculous.
A very good console for the price. No surprise whatsoever that it was mixed and recorded a bunch of multi-platinum album (Queensrÿche, Megadeth, Damage Plan, Jethro Tull, ...)
