- Does it have a parametric EQ?

- 4-band EQ with semi-parametric mids.

- Is there an integrated effects section?...

- No integrated effects.

UTILIZATION

- Is it easy to make settings?

- It's a standard analog mixing desk so it's not a problem. Monitors are set post-groups.

- Is it easy to access the main functions?

- No problem whatsoever.

Is the user's manual clear and comprehensive?

No user's manual.

SOUNDS

- Does the desk sound "transparent"?

- I wouldn't say the console sounds transparent! On the contrary, it provides a special something to the sound like most vintage analog desks. If you like it or not is only a matter of taste.

- Does it generate noise?

- No noise even with high signal levels.

- Is the EQ effective?...

- It makes a very good job. But the filters are only semi-parametric...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you been using it?

- Three years of use for studio and live applications.

- Which feature do you like the most / the least?

- Long faders, comprehensive routing options and the possibility to control the signal level of each direct out using the aux 6 send pot (simply push the assignation switch), which is a nice feature for studio applications.

- Did you try any other models before buying it?

- Yes, I work often with Soundcraft K, Allen & Heath ML3000 and I find this mixing desk much better.

- How would you rate its value for money?

- Very good value for money.



- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again!
