    I think I saw that many things were already said.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration, an eq Acute Med, Grave, gain per slice, and 2 AUX Pan, ideal for small group, mini home studio or other small configurations ...

    With a minimum of knowledge, it is usable by everyone.

    The manual seemed clear even though I've never read. In addition, I believe it is available on the website in PDF Yamaha Pro Audio.

    SOUNDS

    Transparency level, there is a Yamaha sound but nothing too bad, it sounds great.

    EQ efficient, even if it only consists of 3 bands, he made his birch, and pretty well.

    Question breath, absolutely not.

    Question breath, absolutely not.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a little over four years with a rock band, and he also happened to sound in a jazz trio in small rooms.

    I used a lot of style, analog or digital combined (which Yamaha, Soundcraft, Presonus, Digico, Mackie, Behringer Alto or even!)

    I love the angles, it is that it is easily rack, in addition to its small size. It is lightweight but strong, with no problem. The finish is impeccable. Is the more time but it is not awful either (well I think: D)

    Value for money very good.

    I remake this choice if I had a small space to add sound, but now I can not use the I need much more input and effects ...

    This table is personal rackable.moi I screwed up in a rack with 8 units below it and nikel.
    in terms of features, see the other view.
    in all cases is a very simple table.

    UTILIZATION

    I use it mostly live multitrack.
    for me anyway it's not a table or recording studio ... you have to pay for it.
    st the function simple and accessible, this side no problem ...
    no need to coment manual to understand it works, even a novice will quickly turn ....

    SOUNDS

    It is not on the soundcraft but for the price the rendering is correct ... but still slight hiss even minimim qd
    equalizer is quite efficient but it lacks a second knob for each medium (available on the fx).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it now for over a year ..
    I needed a table not too expensive with 8 mono tracks and take the shot because I carry all the time for my evenings ...
    it is very easy to use and very clear (even a little too: the facade is empty !!!!).
    rated quality / sound is clear that Yamaha has done a good job and that is why I also note broad
    If I farted in tunes it clear that I would get a better table but for the less fortunate like me is a good compromise and I will probably remake this choice with the same bank account!
    by the way, argued that little neck of spunk and 100 euros in addition to the above model with effects.

    Overall layout very correct. Well there's not too many knobs either!
    I did not take the version with effects due to the EQ and effects no mediocre to live can be, but I used the table to make small model super mini studio!
    2 months of use

    UTILIZATION

    Hyper classic for a regular mixers, no need to notice. It is "as usual"!
    if not for neophytes, the doc is relatively clear despite 2 / 3 random translations!

    SOUNDS

    There's the breath Yes yes! admittedly, but it is less than 300 euros the mixer! I do not do the job as a pro either. Everything is relative. I find it very correct. Coupled with Tapco S5. I do not push the preamp for recording, I note a few levels and af…

    As the opinion below: Warning with EQ .... sometimes is better not touch! they are far too efficient and not multiplied !!!!!
    I find it very hot, the power supply is external, however. that's why I did not take the "FX", so I could cook an omelet while waiting for the inspiration ... (It's super long with me!)

    OVERALL OPINION

    To use that I made it .... you need a good coffee table, sturdy, simple and perfectly filled its purpose. In addition it is not excessive level price.
    Moral: I like it that little table ....

    I put a note leve, as for the report qualitprix, I have not seen anything like it.

    For deuxime qualiseur mdium (only shortcoming for me), take the 16 / 4 FX.Plus CHRE.

    A model for the use of simplicitet that I am (live machines), nothing is missing.

    for a fact the sujet.Il I do not think it adds to the breath by GNR

    my machines, accessories and meters of cables in hell ...

    For qualos, yes they are effective and, in my case, it is more an advantage than a default.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for 6 months, we insparables maintenant.J 'possd have his little sister MG10 / 2,

    and this is naturally having need more input, I turned to her.

    To use Live Machinery, dare I say it is perfect in terms of price.

    SERIES With this, Yamaha has set the market for irrprochables (for an amateur, eh!)

    which is what they do, no frills and no renacler.Je did not find any equivalent

    in the price range (maybe B * h ***** r but I barely touched a fader that I thought he

    I had the fingers)

    It's like my girlfriend, so I would do without this choice hsiter

    The console rack in 19 "through the brackets that are on the edge of the console and it takes up is very quick to do and it's handy to put in a flight when one carries Although very much strong is the yamaha!
    in terms of the data sheet you can refer to other site notices or the seller.
    I put 9 because it is very well thought out but some direct input microphones It would be nice. Finally, at this price and this quality we will not Chipotte.

    I put 9 because it is very well thought out but some direct input microphones It would be nice. Finally, at this price and this quality we will not Chipotte.

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration of the console is very simple, the path of his logic is like most analog consoles. many possibilities of mixing are possible, personally I used to animmer the night (2 CD player, computer, mp3 player, two microphones, a compressor limiter gate, a distribution of 1 KW) to mix a group in concert with around 400 (Battery: 4 microphones, Bass: a microphone, guitar: a microphone, piano with a microphone on the same track in a synth line, djembe 2: 2 microphones, a didgeridoo: a microphone, a player cd, an mp3 player and a computer on the return to) and I also used the studio for the same group (recording with Cubase SX).
    As you can see its possibilities are endless although to my taste a dozen of more would not be too much but after it is over budget so I had him just a BOSS BX 16 coupled to all its sources lignes.le is worse than the yam, but it's been fine.

    SOUNDS

    J etrouve console very transparent, it is enough to know a minimum, whether mixed correctly and a can pressure you get a get a great sound, as I say it's already ais yamaha, the brand is not joking with quality.
    some say the equalo is not right, it's true that it is a bit aggressive but with the usual (a few hours on the console and it's good) it becomes very handy and quite a few things ppermet , you just have not overdosed penssé!
    Unless you grow all the knobs to max there is no breath on the console (at least a little but once the mix is ​​committed there is nothing and should have supersonic ears to hear.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought this console there about 3 years to 290E and I do not really regret the purchase. now I need more tracks but it is still very comprehensive and with the BOSS that I have paired it works again. I love everything about this console, nothing has dessu in three years, even the manual is very well and am really explains how the console market and provides guidance for mixing beginners. the ratio q / p is very good because it is very fine for a console that I would describe as almost proffessionnnelles sound is bon.quant behringer we see the same price that appears to be one and its really a crap about it use a while it is clear that the yam is is a very good compromise. I think if my needs were the same that 3 years ago I would do this choice without hesitation. before it was I had not tried many other models but I have tried a lot since I and compared with many other parraissent only be me as well are the Soundcraft or the Mack .
