Value For Money :
Poor
Well first of all, I would point out that they gave me this console about 8 years ago and therefore I do not know of any prize (almost untraceable on the internet). I'll talk about a product like this console behringer equivalent, for example XENYX 1622. Well, I begin to answer the questions: ========== Is it rack? Not ========== What type of connectors (RCA Jack, XLR ...)? [see Photo] 8 slices with real input: 8 XLR for the first 4, Line / Insert (Jack) and 4 other inputs L and R / Mono (stereo input jack) AUX in Jack and phones also Master output: 2 XLR Tape In and Tape Out CAR ========== How many lanes, bus, auxiliary sends, returns ...)? 12 channels (8 channels: 4 mono + 4 stereo) No bus (What a pity!) Auxiliary A more integrated insert an effect on the first 4 tracks ========== The parametric equalizer is it ? No, it is graphic 3 band (I can not give the ranges of frequencies) ========== An effects section is integrated? Yes, 16 effect integrated LCD, Fadda individual, and PAN. Setting certain parameters (ms of delay ...) and Tone. For Knob to send out the effect in the Auxiliary. Possibility to bypass the effect (Somewhat Helpful).
UTILIZATION
========== The general configuration is simple? Yes, fairly or very much. It's a good restaurant to start mixing and making sound. It includes quick and easy routing of sound from input to output. The general appearance of the console is clear and we can quickly locate what you need (at the same time it is small and there are few buttons). ========== The manual is clear and sufficient? I've never had. Can not find it on the net. Finally there is not even necessary, it is quite clear. I just wanted to have the precise characteristics of the console (the accuracy of sampling, frequency range of action of Eq, quality preamps, etc. ...)
SOUNDS
========== The console is transparent? I find it a little bit cold, dry ... Introduced ========== she breath? Yes, not bad, especially when the gains are at high levels, but at the same time it is normal, pre-amps often of poor quality squirt of breath. But it is still correct for a table of this range there. ========== The equalizer is it effective? Too radical and too rough. We do not know on what precise frequencies it works .... A semi-parametric least Mediums configurable would have been interesting.
OVERALL OPINION
Finally, I would like to revisit some issues that have not been addressed. Too bad there have not at least TRANSFER key. Solo buttons would have been interesting (so no PFL and forced to stand on odb to watch the VU meter), and routing to at least 2 bus was simpa Too bad there have not integrated Compressors (but for the price you can not have everything), but fortunately there are 4 inserts for the first 4 installments. 2 Tracks of more would have been great because I'm forced to plug in another console above for more tracks. In general, my config is repeated: 1 Lead vocals, 2 choirs, 2 Scrape, 1 Bass, 1 Keyboard + 1 Battery is Electronic, either I'm missing 2 tracks back to 2 + 1 Over Head Bass Drum. We would have liked more of an assistant. Effect of 16, 6-8 vraimment are interesting, and TAP would have been nice to set the delays (the parameter knob is not accurate ...). However thank you to the manufacturers for LED Clip on each slice, it is useful ___________________________________________________________________________________ ========== For how long have you been using it? It's been 6 years since I use it extensively for rehearsals and classes. One positive point is that it is turned around 5am every day and has for the moment, never a problem. I'll "sound to" a small room of 80 people in a few days for the first time this console. I do not think it will provide for the live, but hey, that 80 Yauri tomatoes thrown on the soundman ... ========== What is your opinion about the value for the price? As I already said, I did not buy it, and I do not know the price. I found on an Italian site (Montarbo it Italian?) A possible price of 350 €. I do not know if it really was but if it does, it's much too expensive. This bracket should be worth € 200 I think is worth what it's worth ... ========== Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? It is a console Simpati enough to start in the sound, to understand the routing of signals, and manage the effects and Auxiliary. I do not know if this table is still in marketing (I do not think) but it fits perfectly next to Behringers and other Phonic & Co. (not beyond, the quality is still poor). ___________________________________________________________________________________
