sw80 « Nice features and the aux send channel was great »
Published on 02/01/13 at 04:05The MDR624 is made by Samson and has an affordable price tag on it, which is the only reason that I decided to give it a go because in the past I have used many Samson mixer and I know most of them are very good and last a long time. This mixer might seem smaller but it is packed with everything you need for live shows or studio uses.
UTILIZATION
This mixer gave me a 3 band EZ on all of the channels which was something that I definitely needed at the time. The LED bar is also an 8 segment bar that light up pretty bright. The microphone pre amp is where this mixer suffers though but I didn’t expect to get great warm pre amps knowing the price of this unit was so low.
SOUNDS
For what this mixer cost, the pre amps are pretty standard in this price range and sound just like the rest of all the “cheaper” mixers pre amps. They have a little bit of noise and are not very warm not matter which microphone you use them with you will still not be 100 percent happy with it but I knew this ahead of time and was prepared for it.
OVERALL OPINION
I used this mixer for about 4 months before switching to a different one but I enjoyed my time using it because it was very easy to use and portable. I did not have to worry about it break or worry about some accidental damage to it will traveling because it was so inexpensive I could always replace is if I needed to. I was glad that it had an AUX send channel so I could use external effects with it. It does have phantom power but with the pre amps it really will not sound too great with any mic. The knobs are made well though and it gave me 6 channels to work with. I enjoy owning this mixer while I had it.
