Take a look at the site of Tapco for details.

All the basic features for my use: PC router, bass preamp and scratches.

UTILIZATION

It could not be easier!
Despite its small size (huge advantage in my opinion), all knobs are available, the connection makes sense ... nothing wrong
The English manual (downloadable in French on the website of Tapco) could not be clearer; patterns config a valuable complement.

I find, with regard to my use, super convenient to use: small, light, robust, well-organized ... I appreciate the bcp center detent on the knobs.

The point is missing: a monitor for each track ... but hey at this price you can not have everything!

SOUNDS

This table is perhaps not as clear as spring water, it produces very little breath, at least for my home use (not yet tested sound at high volume).

Only the preamp mono tracks begin to blow from the half of the race of winning.

The EQs are surprisingly effective. I do not use bcp, preferring to deal with the source.

Note, the Series Mix, it is the only one to complete the EQs on stereo tracks. Convenient to use as a DJ mixer in the evening.

OVERALL OPINION

It is on my desk for 1 month and I am fully satisfied.

My criteria was before the purchase: the size, price and good quality / price ratio.

I guess there is more but less than € 60, I have my little router that sounds good and keeps me to redo my connections.

In addition I find it rather stylish! So again this choice (with the same budget): YES!

All the other gentleman he adj Write
In short, trs complte, no fuss with gadgets like the Behringer effects.

UTILIZATION

The manual is in English, y'en agne that, not me
It is full of humor and jokes little moldy, it's quite enjoyable.
Setup is simple and efficient as well Retailer. The knobs all have a central notched to give a 0 it easy config.
The features offered are impeccable, the pramplis work well.

SOUNDS

Console transparent, no breath, except with pramps Intgr boostent when they are too.
Personally, I never Exceeds half the power of pramps microphones, and all is well.

EQs are trs great job, bass boost, treble cut a little.
The high pass filters and low pass are only in versions suprieures, but it's not too bad when you're in a home studio config too xigeante like me.

I call an insert in M300, and assaying the effect is also trs effective and the quality of the reverb / delay is very well preserved.

OVERALL OPINION

I ais for two months. I recorded a lot of tricks with.
For a friend going at home, connects it to beef a little, save my voice playing, my caller M300 multi-effects in order to insert an effect on the voice, in short, do as adults, but smaller, It is very well.

1.2 Kg, minimum dimensions, rather sturdy construction and a price close to the Behringer, but with a quality trs above (especially when speaking of the breath low trs contribution here), so a quality report Price suprieur a Behringer (quite rare Behringer be beaten in this CATEGORY l not be.

The fact that Tapco is a sub-brand reassures Mackie also not bad. In short, who needs only a few tracks but a quality tool that table is perfect.

All t adj said.
For its size it has everything you need.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simplicity of a child. There is everything you need for a simple mix, all for a sound recording ...
Not need the manual, you can find everything easily.
Too bad there's no switch, to avoid the unplug when not in use.

SOUNDS

I found the sound quite transparent.
Pushing the amps pr background, it is clear that a lightweight blast apparatus, but for the price we can not say anything (in addition to pushing the pre amp, which can often be half what it no breath).
The qualiseur does its job as long as you do not ask him to do miracles. I prfre properly place my microphones that alter the sound to the table qualiseur

Just for info, a good place for this table:
I have two small Sonoris evening between friends, with the means at hand, the fawn follows:

- MP3 Player => to-RCA cable => from RCA "CD / Tape" table => RCA "CD / tape table => Active Monitors

- Sound card from an old PC => to-RCA cable => from RCA "CD / Tape" table => Main Out Out of the table (jack) => Active Monitors

And pushing the speakers loud enough volume, no breath, no significant loss. Everything has to say that even with such a low price, this mixer does its job ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year.
She served in both the recording (I used the pre amp and when I recorded my qualiseur instruments / amps with BETA58A, and in the micro rglages in various situations (sound small accessories ...)
What I like most: its price, its simplicity its humble
This is my Premire unique mixer. Now I use the pre amp for my sound card, but I sometimes come away in silly situations and it is very useful (eg when you have the wrong ...). Cables
The report qualitprix is ​​excellent, and I would do this willingly choose.
