Very heavy but not ultra-complete rack-level connections and possibilities. Plugs in the rear allow almost any configuration. Mine has 8 preamp / line and 4 stereo line, for a total of 16 channels. 4 + 4 compressors limiters, EQ basic but formidable, with 3 (shipments and returns) all pre / post fader with a stereo EQ available on each turn, four sub-groups with VCA, EQ and compression as well. 48V phantom power, phase reverse, low cut and Sun for every. A direct out for each output point also with microwave, line, or channel EQ. Solo and PFL circuits separate monitor section booked solid, integrated talkback opportunities shipments on SEND or 5 headphones separate oscillator section to calibrate all parts of the console, etc ...
UTILIZATION
It is complete, not necessarily simple need for a patch with input / output / insert / direct out at least, requiring less technical expertise to buy ready-made, powerful routing section, monitoring impeccable, VCA on groups, etc ... until an indicator of phase correlation! All the usual functions of a large present, apart from the fact that it is not inline, all with 4 compressors and more. The manual is complete and essential in my opinion, since it has all the construction drawings and wiring.
SOUNDS
No breath after 20 years of service and not a squeaky knob, only a very slight hum when you push it completely to the bottom. For sound, non transparent, accurate round but yes, no problem! Taken on its battery, for example, is truly deadly, highly effective EQ and insert compressors are a treat. You have to be deaf not to realize it, or never having to take his ... The principle is clear: the potential equalization and compression are reduced but highly musical. The 3-band EQ has a + low cut at 80Hz, and hard (by the way, there's no high shelf, cf. Criticism "subtle" below ...). The bass in particular are superb! Ditto for the compressor + limiter, which have a very fast attack (1 to 5 ms max) and gain an automatic compression post.
OVERALL OPINION
I have recently. It is complete with most features of a great and sound perfect not only for its price, but excellent simply for the taking. After his release, the console was worth a fortune and it shows. Impeccable build quality, 2 to 3 times cheaper than a Neve 12 channel, with 2 to 3 times more features and a real sound. We can push the preamp to block before they twist so audible, it's a real pleasure. As for the idiot who compares it with a Mackie ...
