Value For Money : Excellent
Analog console preamps voies/16 16 + Line
low cut, 4-way semi parametric eq, 6 + 4 auxiliary groups
converter on each preamp pre / post eq via firewire
rack rails 19 "included

UTILIZATION

while the analog is good, glad to have everything at hand:)
I made some records with Cubase, Mackie driver is stable in 7 32bit

SOUNDS

Onyx preamps not bad, small flaw: the gain is usually between 3 / 4 and Max preamp, but otherwise fairly quiet preamp.
eq's like the price, located between the midas and Berhinger. therefore correct (a switch lets put it out)

OVERALL OPINION

This is a good ratio q / p, I bought it with his flight case (it is rack inside)
the coup ca budge.
Firewire is a plus to record a concert or make models is perfect!
More options for routing the firewire are available either on each slice.
The only thing I do is not use the talkback section.
It's been a few months I have, I have not yet had occasion to do so, I think I get my mind later.
