- Analog and Digital Console, not rack (I think so anyway).
- 8 analog inputs (5 with mic preamps with phantom power supply, switch mic / line), 10 channels to PC / 10 channels from the PC, connected to the XLR and TRS balanced / unbalanced.
- 3-Band EQ (nonparametric) on each of 8 channels.
- Digital effect section (an effect at a time): 16 effects each with 16 settings (reverb, delay, flanger, chorus, combinations ..)
- ADC / DAC 24bit 96kHz
- No automation (no MIDI at all)

For more details all is well described in the manual: http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/060104_NRV10_UG_EN01.pdf

Basically it's a normal 8-input analog console that can be used as such, but with the possibility of independent driving the 8 inputs + 10 tracks to master a soft computer music.

The PC can send 10 channels: 2 are routed to a mixer control room / headphones, the other 8 can be integrated into the overall mix in place of the 8 analog inputs (8 on each of the slices so there is a switch to see if the signal This installment comes from the PC or which is connected to analog).

This is not the purpose of this table, but I wish the 8 channels coming from the PC can also be released independently in analog, as a "sound card" to 8 outputs.

I put 9 because of that, but otherwise it's perfect.

In terms of construction, it is quite correct. I like the sliders for example that are fluid and resist a little, as I like. The chassis is metal, but thin enough it's true. The knobs are plastic smooth pleasant to the touch (it looks like a rubber coat). Those who are accustomed to super pro gear, may find it all too "plastic" but I is correct in relation to price.

UTILIZATION

- The installation of drivers on a Windows XP very well by following the recommendations of the "QuickStart Guide" (without installing the drivers connected to the table, turn off the PC, plug in, reboot).
- The table is then recognized as an external parfaitment or DirectSound (5 stereo device actually) ASIO evening with 10 in / 10 out.
- All functions are accessible on the tables (and the software control panel as well, but it's really simple).
- The différententes parts of the table are arranged, and there are little drawings, or traits that connects and helps to understand the operation.
- There is no printed manual, but only in pdf (mine was in English, I know if there's one in French). I suits me well, and you can already use the table without consulting him.

SOUNDS

I do not have the table for a long time, it is only the first advice I would change maybe ...

- On the face of the console is transparent, the preamps are good, with great fishing. There should be further testing certainly, and I do not really have a point of comparison.
- There is little or no wind brought by the eight slices, the equalizer is effective
- By section against the effect seems to introduce the breath if the fader level of return and too high (it is better to start high).

I 9 for breath effects that bothers me a little but not too much to use as I did.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this console for a few days, so my opinion and some first impressions.

I allowed myself to post it anyway, because there is not an opinion on this table, and before I decided to buy one I would have liked to read. I will correct / complete + later if necessary

For what I do (use mostly live) is the perfect product, I particularly appreciate the opportunity to fiddle with the sound of a live analog input and the resort to another channel, while playing a vsti that released on two other channels and at the same time to record four tracks, etc..

I've never tried a device so complete, but I find the value + feature / price really excellent, well thought out. Anyway for now I have not seen any major defects.

I would do the same purchase with no problem.
