UTILIZATION

One of the first is the absence of dfaults attnuateur of the circuit, in fact, no cot pad of the gain. no possibility to send her to a bus to and not on the bus Eq. even if the buses are equipped with 8 insert symtriques too.

SOUNDS

The sound is prcis even if it lacks a little richness and compares its size Big Sisters type (heirloom Midas, Soundcraft MH4, Yamaha PM ....) Now, for a console that is 4 or 5 times less than the CHRE consoles pr cites, the sound it is not four times less good, good S / N ratio, a relative robustness console.

OVERALL OPINION

Console trs Legre, and it's really the main advantage with the price, it is easy to implement, its quality is all right, quite complete, but no VCA considering the price c is quite normal!

We always make a little rack but certainly not 19 "
40 for short in-line with direct out on each channel, 8 bus, 8 aux, a very useful matrix section 2 parameters not affect internal routing with traditional

UTILIZATION

Flexible, easy to use, relatively complete given its price and I did not but obviously downloadable manual in many languages ​​on the site Mackie.
Access fast, simple and intuitive.

SOUNDS

EQ settings are fairly accurate for this price range. Caution, however, must go all soft, adjustable in millimeter and not go too far on the EQ at risk of damaging the signal source.
A little cold breath, ca feel better After a few minutes and relatively clean if it is working in good condition, meet 0DB
The preamps are correct, its a bit cold but relatively neutral

OVERALL OPINION

I know well and long, its great flaws and relative fragility especially in domestic water connectors, easy to solve with a good soldering iron and patience.

We're not compare with SSL or another but remain logical and compare what is or anything of that product line and price and I would like the opinion that all do the same ...

View the price and its potential is an exellent product, extremely COMPTITE, look cool, be careful in the sun on the plastic headband is bargraph CPDA and lack of aeration which could destabilize the section Auto / mute in hot weather.

It sounds really clean and all those seeking good food good price, I did not see a report on the equivalent Euro / qualitnombre of
A product that I recommend. All material defaults and its quality, but the opportunity to look for prices is far above the phonic, Brangre and another, even some models of Soundchose. We touch the finger at the real big sound and mix, but it is only my opinion of course ...
