Phonic MM1705a

This is a console 11 inputs (5 mono, 3 stereo), which is quite curious and original, but may suit some configurations (including mine!). 3-band EQ on all channels 2 subgroups, 5 outputs, two effects inserts, a headphone output. For the price, that's all you can wait, I think.

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear, comprehensive but ... in English, if I remember correctly! That said, it's not a big problem: the table works like all other tables and is rather well designed and ergonomic. Everything is very solid.

SOUNDS

Some find that the consoles Phonic sound a bit metallic. This is not my opinion. For me, the sound is neutral. The equalizer, moreover, is very good. In contrast, the mic preamps are really poor: Can not directly connect a condenser microphone on it! Obligaoire external preamp. But hey, the price of the table, one would expect ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use the mm1705 for nearly a year and I am delighted. The sound that comes out of this console is very good, and I never found the slightest breeze! Phonic is not a household name in France. I think it's a shame, because their consoles are, in my opinion, very good. The only problem if you want to work with a condenser microphone is that it will buy an external preamp and more. Alternatively, for dynamic microphones and instruments, it's really perfect.

Cf characteristics set by Porridge14. The scope of the 5-way mono and stereo 3-way configuration is a little weird ^ ^

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, this table has the basic functions that you would expect from a mixer of this price.
The manual is in two parts (an English manual and a manual french), but the french part is less comprehensive than in English.

SOUNDS

This is my first console, so I was not really a comparison.
I do not have any problems of breath, I think this console is neutral.
By the equalizer against are daunting! They cut out their frequencies

OVERALL OPINION

I use the console for three months and I am very satisfied. It has a good value for money.
I had the opportunity to tater Behringer few before buying, but the Phonic seems more robust.

If I had to buy a console for that price, I would definitely buy the MM1705a

I have been using already two and a half years, and she is pretty because I are nothing else at hand, it served its purpose but nothing more ...
