OVERALL OPINION

This is a small balance APRS upgrade my MIO with the 2D map.

Order placed directly from Metric Halo, REU 4 days later. No problem!

Installation very easy, even when taking the time to do things properly. It took me about 30 min.

Upgrade firmware updates downloads the latest version of the MIO console and go.

Very easy handling, UI trs similar to traditional studio console. The Routing options are impressive.

For the test mix, I used a session of 18 tracks (in the mix with a max unit. Stabilit flawless channel strip impressive suprieur TDM version! Gte almost nonexistent Phase , fearsome effectiveness. The reverb is good quality but fairly limited. It is well worth the power plugs but will not replace a 6000! The section "Character" is quite impressive. Simulation of slices is rv the trsraliste and effective. There are sound Neve, SSL, Studer and API (as far as I could identify).

Live test configuration: mixing + recording faade and return of the session. 16 microphones (8 ADAT), M5000 and H3000 as effects sends. Stability copy, no worries, trs flexible. No worries clock (sync with WC, MIO in the Matra). Big sound in perspective!

In résumé is an extraordinary machine! Almost the equivalent of a large studio console trs (Neve or SSL type). Trs above the ProTools HD and others to the mix!

Some flats all of the same. Only compatible with the Mackie Control protocol CONTRL and lack of automation (probably in the next version implementations). Drop the end of a reading session. Delay a fair bit (230 samples).

In short, the upgrade for 320 euros, having no hsitation and even the price of the can (1700) is low in relation to the possibility
