UTILIZATION

All hands on! It must be said that the pots, buttons and faders are pretty moves away from each other, it plutt comfortable.
Of LED signal on each channel, very practical, with LED mute for channels, for cons, do not use the console too little of lights ...
The manual is nothing but when same is done for.

SOUNDS

No breath, pramplis effective, efficient eq, not enough use to really compare.
It sounds good, it sr.

OVERALL OPINION

8 months with this console uses to route between sources in the PC, to mix a little while to costs (PC, Chan, CD, ...), but also multi dplacement taken for Stereo.
Transportation is quite convenient, even without a fly, the power supply and good quality phantme of pramplis make me great service.

8 mono
4 stro
4 to dpart
line inputs and microphone on each slice
pr listen, mute and peak increments
100Hz low cut filter on mono channels
inserts, direct outs on each slice
High and low EQ on channels Stros and high mid (semi param) low on mono channels
S / PDIF
No effects intgrs, not automation.

10/10 because it is well supplied and that's what I DCID face its competitors but I know that dsormais for the same price as older, you can have a better sound.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but I do not use all
The console is compact and suddenly the knobs are really close. It suits me but it's hot when even time for equalizer.
I have not opened the manual. If I opened the 2 or 3 depending on which I do not use my serve but can be of any calf I'll replace it so I invest any neuron in the reflexion and I just used this console for what it is good and basic. And suits me very well as a.
This does not serve me is the S / PDIF, the phantom power, mic inputs and the SIG LED. Ie 10% of the console.

practical and well thought but the knobs too tight (space saving but losing usability) so 9 / 10

SOUNDS

For me and my taste is transparent.
Many will say that Soundcraft is color ... personally if the M8 is the Mackie Onyx color, transparent rputes should be surgical because this Soundcraft has no color noise. If you pull on Pramper is not pretty, made of shit and breath. So I not shoot and I will draw on those of a Soundcraft 200B series shortly on the other hand.
The Qualo is effective but not my musical taste. We can do what you want and can be reached but I think we lost a bit of caractristiques Sound Input and cons we win in part by aggressiveness.
Globally and roughly if you pull too much on the Qualo: what comes is what comes out but the console does nothing in terms of sound.
So 9 / 10 for those who research it. I'm looking generates a supplement for me so in my case it would be 7 / 10 but I have particular tastes.

OVERALL OPINION

1 and 1 / 2 of use.
The +:
-The characteristics for the price
Cluck it convenient and affordable
Knob no-no spitting
-Routing is nice
There 4 to
Long-running faders
She is beautiful and lightweight

the -:
Pfl DGRAD it points out and is completely calibrbr />-the knobs too tight
-L 'not musical EQ
It adds nothing to her but I did not have that reloqute when I purchase so I take the next console with a sound that suits me well because I dsormais know what I want.

Overall I would say it is so versatile it can be an asset standard but in my case I will now seek a more specifiers my needs.
