Yes, mine is rack without having to add square, I think consoles produced later are not.

Jack or XLR connectors

It is analog (as in the last century)

12 channels, 2 to

1 parametric eq per track (except for track 11 and 12) + 1 EQ and 1 severe acute classic EQ

No effect, nothing new.

UTILIZATION

You can not simple for a small console that still auxiliaries, parametric EQ, power 48 v

Everything is easy and accessible

SOUNDS

The sound is excellent for my taste, I never found on entry-level hardware today.

EQ are effective, the breath is really very small, even by pushing the gain or EQ .. unlike many mixers.

OVERALL OPINION

My small analog console Soundcraft Spirit Folio is one of the first distributed this brand (1991 may be, I do not remember too).

This is an old console, fully analog, simple but very well equipped (it to any great!)

- Bass and Treble Correctors + + parametric mid filter 100 hz.
- 2 auxiliary, 1 configurable in "Pre" or "Post" Fader.
- Exit "Mix" + "monitor" + 1 headphone
- Enter "tape return" + additional stereo input "mix ins".

The first eight tracks receive a jack or XLR, with the possibility 48V (phantom).
Tracks 9/10 and 11/12 receiving only Jack (stereo), have no parametric EQ medium.

Strengths of the console (80/100 euros used)

1 - Sound: Perfect for me (and this is really rare).
A lot of gain, corrections are easy to dose, the sound is much better than on small consoles first prize other brands for my taste (yamaha, phonic, Berhinger etc ...)

2 - The simplicity / efficiency

3 - opportunities not found on consoles first prize (48volt, parametric mid, auxiliary pre / post fader.

4 - Mine is "Rackable" (without buying additional accessories).

Low bridges:

No additional outputs or subgroups that would live sound use (power returns etc. ..
Small faults, rare but annoying (acute sounds on some tracks), which disappear without anyone knowing why when we dismantle ...
