I chose this table features that are generous considering the price ...
and everyone can find them in the descriptions of sale ... so I will not amuse myself everything you list ...
WARNING ... this advisory .. MK2 version that is to say that there is more micro-switches and separate power ..... the fan so loud for some .... disappeared ....... it heats a little ....
FURTHER, it is under the console switches (hidden by a plate) that can affect every corrections to the fire-wire.

UTILIZATION

Commissioned in Germany, the doc was in English ... which is not so bad but a little slow to understand its use ....
otherwise the configuration is very easy and all functions are well-appointed (this is a due diligence of any user because the table is not perfect ... otherwise there would be only one brand ... lol)
ben good ... a little breakdown of the power supply ... and back home ..... thomann less than six months after the purchase .........

SOUNDS

Plug, aluminum ... not breathing .... if only knob pushing the "main" thoroughly and straining his ears ..... my computer internet is next to vacuum ... lol
equalizer is very effective ... shame there was no complete parameter ... (nen not ask too much)
With regard to transparency (I guess ...), preamps I think they lack a bit of fishing (it's not so obvious), which is quite overtaken by a computer or additional PREAM ... or both (each has his kitchen)

the dynamics of general output is very coorecte

OVERALL OPINION

Received January 3, I love the look and compactness of the table with his duties for a price not very expensive (€ 689)
the effects processor is a little weak for my taste ... it deserves more features and settings ....
this product is certainly not comparable to well known brands .. but I had the opportunity to work on the soundcraft, mackie ..... and it's not that confusing ...
remains to be seen how it will age .......
I use it in my home studio ... and I intend to test it live soon ....
continued ...

ADDITIONAL NOTICE to February 28, 2007:
live repeat it went very well ..... drum set with plug prodipe Claude, bass, acoustic and electric guitar + microphone 3 songs ..... a whole weekend .... no lights signs of weakness ........ RAS
home studio working on three days with artist ...... the first two days ... perfect .... the third, it should be noted that the drivers jumped out and this easily when moving from one software ...... another flaw in windows? ... of drivers? (No update yet on the site phonic) or just the table that could absorb any cuts electricity:-I
or false manipulation on my part to follow ....

good! ptits problems ... the drivers are not bad, because my computer defaults to the driver of the integrated card .. so it resolved that side .... But sometimes I listen in full (never in recording sessions for now ..) I lose the audio and this is manifested by the emission of a very sharp ... then after a minute or anything ... .... I have yet to test if it comes to the table, but I doubt it .....
I have yet to see the updates .. if anyone has the same problem and solved it, we contacted .......

drivers are still unstable and the failure of ...... alim bothers me a little shame ... because I was very happy until then ........ I hesitate to repair and leave with change ... or against something more expensive ...... I'll pay the brand or quality ?..... we'll see .....

component quality is not there you ..... shame!

SO

return to sender .... and recovery against mackie1640 .... END ....
