All user reviews for the Soundcraft 800B

Rack is not a console, pretty, tall and heavy.
Jack, the XLR, the symmetric and asymmetric.
My version is a 24-channel, 8 Subgroup, 8 aux sends, Left-Right
Equalizer slices 8017 Low and high shelve, and two semi-parametric in the middle.

UTILIZATION

Basic configuration, routing is extremely simple.
The book is interesting, but only in English and is always available on the site.

SOUNDS

The EQ without surgery or "phenomenal" is very friendly to use, it is possible to change things, to give a little life in the applied corrections.
The console is not necessarily the most transparent out there, however it distorts nothing sounds, and preamps are appreciated by many singer (rock, jazz-rock) friends.
Breath? Not particularly mine yet I have already opened the very high gains.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, I know the other models in the range (200b for example), I like this side "REAL CONSOLE" it is difficult to find at the moment, otherwise so a person currently know consoles level these old soundcraft at reasonable prices that show me because it really interests me because I'm looking ... I can not find ANYTHING equivalent at the same price. I tried to console models and / or different preamps in the studio and / or live (Tascam Dm4800, 01v, DM1000, Ghost, Midas, Avalon, SSL, GraceDesign, Joemeek etc ...) so I think the value for money is simply superb € 800 24 preamps! and preamps are not soft and withstand high load during my sessions so yes, this choice I made and I would do infinitely I think even if I have some small scratch or noises from time to time.
