Satisfied with most features; Board is transparent and expandable, EQ is smooth, Plenty of Aux options, Panning is solid, Pre-amps sound good, Phantom power in switchable groups of eight, I wish the mic / line switches were easier to reach in an &quot;installed&quot; studio. This thing is expandable with a single ribbon cable in groups of 24 channels! Mackie Ultramix Automation, we bought with unit works well.

Price paid: $3200

UTILIZATION

Board is logically set up top to bottom and easy to get around on. Manual is a good mix of technical and humor, a good read. Nice long faders, Knobs have some space between them and feel good to turn, ( not like cheap boards)

Board is a little large for the local gigsging musician, although we've used it and the flexible routing options helped with live recording, monitiring and Main PA all from the same source.

SOUNDS

Recording different styles and genres, I've found that the board works especially well for Electronic music. It sound great with anything I've thrown at it, and direct outs makes recording options and channel splitting easy. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

OVERALL OPINION

Highly recommend this board for it's bang for the buck, Automation only available from online Auctions, but the sound and features make it worth it. Several options available such as the Meter bridge, stand, 24 channels at a time (up to 128 channels) of expansion, I'm getting queay just thinking about it.
