UTILIZATION

Buy at Thoman, manual books in English. Not serious, the site Soundcraft, the manual is available ffrancais.

Use trs simple. All is clear and well located.

The default, the knob a little too close? Well now, I also wanted a compact table trs.
Another small missing: a mute button on each channel or a missing LED ....

SOUNDS

I use it in console gnral for the disco.
I have yet many utlisation with but I do not default to sound:
not breathing, clear sound.

Plus, it is the quality of the effects Intgr (thank you Lexicon.)
Indeed, Soundcraft is part of the same group as Lexicon, so the processor is a Lexicon MODEL: Top and above all the modules autrechose Intgr of Phonic, Yamaha and other Berhinger .....

The other thing that I really like are the eq:
3 in number on each tract, it is even possible to vary the influence of medium frquence: c'e'st perfect for placing the tracks.
Stereo tracks on the eq of serious falls much lower than on my DJM 400 DJ mixer from Pioneer. So I have a rglage complmentaire on this point: top!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs pleased with those early days with this console.
First went to a Berhinger or Phonic, I just increase my budget to pay me the Soundcraft: I am highly satisfied with the quality of this console.
