_ Weight: 13 kgs
_ Parametric EQ on mediums
_ 100 Hz low cut filter on each slice
_ PFL on each slice + mute switch on each slice
_ No effect
Frankly, for this price is still very complete!
Come on, I put 9 because the faders are only 60mm
UTILIZATION
Configuration very simple because analog.
A little manipulation to con regarding the installation of the driver (downloaded from the website of Allen & Heath (who wanted to avoid me to connect my computer to the net, I had my resorts to good old ethernet cable access), but once done it works nickel.
Everything is reachable, even with big fingers ^ ^
Hard to feel lost with this console
Downside: English manual too short, especially with regard to the MIDI. Frankly, when we see that all are highly detailed manual Behringer and translated into several languages, we say that Allen & Heath could make an effort, but hey, at least they focus on product quality, all that remains so the most important.
Besides the big joke that this SONAR LE can record 8 tracks simultaneously that, so I immediately got my way in this regard DAW as soon as I'm aware of that.
So beware if you plan to use fully the console, it will either "ugrad" your version of SONAR, or use your sequencer darling if you already have one.
The big black point I think: the MIDI configuration, but with a bit of time (thank you Christmas holidays) we finally get out ...
SOUNDS
Bon, bah there, how can I say? This is really the killer!
On the first evening, I plug in a bass line and I feel I have changed my strings! It's beautiful, precise. I feel full of harmonics that I did not have before with my Behringer X2222USB (I do not seek to compare these products, but this was obvious).
Before, I wanted to change my speakers (Alesis M1MK2 because I really thought they were too muddy and there they are really bright with this console (well, I know I'd end up changing, but not immediately, unfortunately).
The blast, so you end up having when he injects a signal well weakling ... recorded on another source first)
_ EQ is really good and is very musical.
OVERALL OPINION
I'm putting together my home studio and I wanted a console that allowed me to iron my tracks in my console at the mix and work with both inserts plugins or hardware
I have long eyed the PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 but my choice was directed on the ZED R16, because unlike the Presonus, rebalance it allows 16 channels in the DAW when mixing, rather than a stereo signal.
Moreover, it is a little cheaper, and I think its preamps are still at the top.
The second FireWire port allows linker a second console, and saw that I think go a long way with the ZED R16, I do not neglect the fact of buying another one later, to have 32 channels.
It's all in a very good quality at very affordable for anyone who wants sound other than the mouse and take the lead with the hardware and plugins at the same time.
The feature I like best: sound, routing, MIDI faders, switches to route the signal at will between console and DAW
Minimum: 60 mm faders (and again), the manual, and the MIDI setup.
I would do this choice with your eyes closed and I look forward to my next session with.
