Best value:
Correct
Is rack?
NO
What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)?
16 mic / lines with inserts
2i 2o ADAT ADAT (or TDIF), a third ADAT output is available on which to route the bus or
5 stereo FX returns
2 stereo inputs
1 io spdif
Io 1 AES / EBU
midi in / out / thrue
output word clock input
SMPTE
The effects section is it integrated?
yes double lexicon engine apparently based on the algorithm of pcm90 (and comprehensive)
How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)?
so it is a 16 or 32 tracks in line mixdown tracks + other inputs
8 stereo bus
4 + 2 aux sends fx
4 pairs of stereo returns
What type of sync are supported?
wordclock - adat - spdif
The parametric equalizer is it?
Yep, full on parametric 3-band, and the 16 tracks mic / lines as adat / TDIF, also applicable to the stereo inputs, fx, etc. Each channel also have a compressor (knee threshold, ratio, attack and release gain) and a gate (threshold attack, hold, decay, depth).
What is the accuracy of the sampling (bits / kHz)?
can be set at the 16, 20 or 24 bits
His only problem is limited to 44.1 khz ou48 sampling frequency, which gives it a little bit old face what is done now. However convertos is very good this is not a very big problem in the end. (-1 Point because of that)
Automation is supported?
yes completely
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is it simple?
a childlike simplicity, the channel strip is very well done, that it gives one-click access to different functions: EQ, COMP / GATE, shipments of the 1-4 for items such FX and pan.
More chanel strip allows when you are on the first layer (1-16) have eg the volume of layer 2 (17-32) and vice versa. very useful sound to respond quickly feedback on an early example.
I had to do a PA over 3 hours after receiving it and it went off without any problems is really intuitive for common functions.
After that is much less for use in control surface in the studio, but this is due to me, I'm a ball at this level. (-1 Point for that)
The manual is clear and sufficient? ..
I have flown, but even noticed before, for basic functions no worries, for the twelve o'clock edition I'm still dropped!
The usual functions are they easily accessible?
As mentioned above, it was close to everything with one click.
Only editing effects need to go through some menus, such as on final hardware machines ...
SOUNDS
The A / D converters and D / A are transparent?
Very clean and neutral genuine respect of incoming and outgoing signal
The dynamics are respected?
Yes Total respect, both online and by preamps.
The effects and filters are effective?
superb EQs are warm, perfect comp also is barely discernable, is pushed to the extreme and very effective, and of course linear over the range between these two extremes.
effects are superb, easily editable and face all situations
the preamps are a colorful hair, analog way, very nice and true.
OVERALL OPINION
How long have you use it?
Around 6 months
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not bad, between school and work, in bulk: Vi1, V12, so compact, so perform, dm 2000 DM3200, ssl matrix, 02r, 01v, etc. for DiGiCo SD9 digital (I is not compare with analos is not really comparable)
Well a little less efficient than its big sisters in soundcraft yet it is the height for home studios, mobile, small and medium studios prestas
What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+ Sound, just wow
+ Simplicity Basic Usage
+ The price the current argus
+ Very complete connectivity
- Twelve o'clock complex issue (but it's my fault I'm in there sucks)
- In case of problems not sav
- Hard to find OCCAZ
It remains a totally current product (despite its limited sampling) that can be found now in 1000 to 1500 euros, a very good choice, very complete, a marvel at a very reasonable price. This is the best choice you can make in these prices. she buries far smaller 01v yam, 02r etc., and with the largest model type M7CL level sound is much better, it must be kif kif with the new Soundcraft SI in terms of sound
If I had the money, I would take a second for prestas, one for the studio.
