(Originally written by Peaveycroquette/translated from Audiofanzine FR)


Practical and well-designed mixer offering many possibilities in spite of its compact size and its light weight.

UTILIZATION

It wasn't difficult to learn how to use it, even for a beginner like me when I bought it. It provides all basic functions you can expect from a small mixer.

I like especially the possibility to switch the Aux 3 to pre-fader.

The long faders are pleasant but a bit too soft for my taste.

I haven't opened the user's manual!

SOUNDS

The mixer has a transparent sound. I tested it for mixing using Logic Audio in the box or with the Spirit as a summing device, and I can hardly hear or see (with the max. waveform zoom in the sequencer) any sound difference. See HERE ( https://forums.audiofanzine.com/index%2Cpage%2C1832%2Cidtopic%2C16697%2Cidsearch%2C0%2Cidcat%2C5800.html ) to see me talking about the comparison.

Maybe the problem comes from the fact that it sounds too transparent! But in this price range you can't expect too much.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using this mixer for about 9 months for live (rehearsals) and home studio applications.

I like its simple design, conception and manufacturing quality. As I mentioned above, a stronger sound character would be better but that would be expecting too much considering the price.

This is the range of handheld consoles in Spirit (Soundcraft), very practical and versatile in sound (groups, clubs, conferences, houses of worship) or recording (programming, sample preparation, post-production, demo).

> Downside: the jacks do not take too much time ... ds ideal if it is a ds config "at home".

> Value / price RV. Very good opportunities are available on the market.

UTILIZATION

> Configuration simple. The usual functions are easily accessible. No problem for this kind of console ...

> The manual is simple, in French ... qqs usual configs are present.

SOUNDS

> Not a breath now.
Protection against RF interference
Corrector 3-band semi-parametric.

OVERALL OPINION

> All is said + high ...

> I use it at home, but also to take qqs taken outside of its simple sound or conferences.

> A very good acquisition in the range of console.
