For specifications, see below
There are only two inputs with phantom power!! Too little! "Mr. Pitiful Yamaha!!
UTILIZATION
Using relatively simple and intuitive, more user manuals are very well thought out ...
Automation is a little difficult to implement
SOUNDS
The sound is very precise, it is digital, so a little cold, but very precise. Contrary to what some believe, the markers are "effective" (if the job was to take ... well done) and allow to blend sounds, despite a certain indolence quite "yamahesque" .... The dynamics are good although the preamps are a little weaklings ... The effects are clear, the reverbs sound Yamaha, we like it or not (personally I prefer Lexicon ...) the dynamic treatments are effective, we can really do a very good job with this station.
A buying opportunity for smart people who want to learn to produce their (heads of) works at very low price today.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it a few months, and I was generally satisfied. The addition of one or several good preamp is still necessary to bring more heat ... I think from a perspective value for money, now it is better to turn to the D32X Korg, which features 32 tracks, and an analog-digital package very interresting, at least on paper ... But who has a small budget, good ears, and a minimum of expertise, it is a very good deal because it is used by around 800 Euros ... I carried out with three albums that were in their time, with some success ...
