Mix table 24 in which 16 single, 4 subgroups, 6 in, 2 integrated multi-effects: it is largely sufficient for model groups pop / rock sound with or on small venues
The equalization is effective, but with only 3 bands: not sufficient to actually work (two bands of mediums have been well come).
The connectivity is very comprehensive and can only regret the absence of direct outs on channels, but it must be related with the price of the beast that is excellent (bought new 800 €).

UTILIZATION

The table is compact but very well designed and ergonomic.
One may regret the lack of possibility of listening to each slice in AFL: keys "solo" slices allow only listening PFL: The only way a source enjoy.The AFL is to mutate all other slices.
There is no possibility of reversion phase, which is a shame.
On each track, there are LEDs indicating the level of input gain, but two in number, which is not functional: the input gain can be effectively régléqu'avec the bargraph general.
The integrated effects troubleshoot well together, but are obviously not of a quality studio (to be once again in connection with the price of this table).

SOUNDS

This is the big advantage of this table, the preamp is accurate and does not blow. The sound is balanced. Nothing to do with the sound of Midas, of course, but compared to its competitors, the sound quality of the MG 24 14 FX is unbeatable in my opinion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, mostly for the demo recording of my groups (rock).
The price / quality ratio is unbeatable and the sound quality. This is the first investment ideal for such applications, for cons, if you want to save or resume by repeating a few instruments for concerts in bars, a more portable would be best suited.
But it's true that it lacks several important features for recording (direct output, phase inversion ....). This model is interesting for an audience finally asez small: small budgets who want to make the recording or PA with an acceptable quality of the final work. With experience, but also with a larger budget, I turned instead to the Allen & Heath, who are much more complete and accurate (GL series), or towards a Midas Venice 320, but the price is unbeatable.
The notice finally gave into account the specific use I make of this material.
