«  Vintage, but still good trs »

Premire CHARACTERISTICS observed: the weight.

And yes, a good thirty pounds out of flight case, not even when it is lightweight. In a flight case and wood mtal, we imagine the effort ... but hey, when a is even instantly.

The MC1202 is a passive mixer.

The console has 12 mono units, choice or XLR jack. Each slice has (from top to bottom) of a-20dB pad, gain, four slices of EQ (treble, bass and two mdiums), the volume distribution of the three assistants, a balance R / L, a CUE and finally the cursor.

Stereo XLR output, and three auxiliary (back, making for mono recordings of RPET, etc.) in jack.
We add many inserts, while the jack. The console is rackable, no worries. was lucky, because there is no effect Intgr, so everything stays dry rendering as trs Fidler.

Phantom power supply included, always handy for DI and some microphones.

We add a microphone jack for sound engineer, always practice it is far from scne to give information.

This is a table of another analogue age, but she did not at Phra many tables present, that you will sell more.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use for the faade, I had more difficulty grate returns, but I'm not far from his Eng l. A helping hand from a friend, and presto, it rgl. Everything works perfectly.

Once we understand the subtleties (the auxiliary is a compltement indpendant, but it must send a signal output for the auxiliary Stereo 2 and 3 reoivent signal ), everything becomes quickly intuitive trs: the EQ, the rglages returns, balance R / L, the CUE. It adj jou with a rack on it, everything works perfectly.

I did not have a manual with the console (used, is missing forcment stuff), but in the end, no need.

SOUNDS

I use several occasions:

- Irish Folk (on PS10) made trs Fidler voices and different instruments. In a style of music o everything goes through the sound system (no guitar or bass amps, no drums), well I'm not. It's clean, does not send a blast. It lacks the effects of: (a rack Yamaha SPX990 c'tait perfect), because without the effects fltes trs and violin are dry.

- Celtic Punk (of 2 * 500W Behringer ... I think we do with what you want to prter us ^ ^): to use four voices, a kick, a violin and a mandolin. Eh bah in a bar, sends a sec. Trs good record of votes, although the console gre trs abrupt changes between cries and whispers, mandolin and violins were made Fidler and their right not ashamed before the standard guitar and bass amps and a strong punk drummer.

Rcemment tests on LUCAS Performer in rptition in small groups it is a branch amp simulator for guitar plus a microphone singing, and still no problem . The console and the system speaker stand trs good saturation, a brief pleasure.

I'm waiting to see what a given when I rack my REU effects (Alesis Midiverb 4).

OVERALL OPINION

Uses six or seven times since April 2011, I conquered. Purchased used, it is still in perfect state, yet the body shows that she has seen many concerts.
I had the opportunity to play on other sound systems, but we can not compare the big consoles numriques this console. This is not the same price range. With consoles in the same price range, I had slices that did not work, cans of EQ, feedback galore, the breath. Prfre I have a table that takes up space that PSE 20kg and has no effect Intgr these latest issue MODELS that are smaller and are more thing, but evil.

The +
Fidler made the sound, no breath, easy to use, lots of connectivity, trs robust.

The -
Heavy and bulky, no effect Intgr.

If you arrive to find it used, you Cotera was cheaper than the consoles of today (especially with 12 channels), and it is much better than a low-end console (Mackie, for not to mention brand).
