COOLING FAN!

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple, my time, it is nothing special from a mackie or other bringher 1604vlz pro, alesis ... what a mixing desk ...

I quickly enregistrment audio test pc via the firewire port, it works nickel, but beware, the contact point is just APRS audio gain, so it benefitted the pert of the Eq, and it seems to me that this recovery circuit before insert ... short, home studio, it is not suitable ...

I do not see too much of intrt multi Indeed, the effects range from seedy misrable quality level can be spread on a system of crap, actually it is not the difference between a lexicon reverb or of the phonic, but the quality is better stuff to do without

but then the biggest dfault is the noise from the GNR fan !!!!! I do not take it anymore!! it makes more noise than my pc! a high-pitched noise and strident, rhaa, a horror.

APRS else is like a table full of other models on the Shma

in short, I put 5 / 10 because for the PA / recording, it is perfect (firewire + mono output / active filter with adjustable cutoff frquence + insert to put a limiter), but then in a home studio, it's really not made for a (still cause the fan)!

SOUNDS

Sound correct my taste, nothing more. before that I was the one phonic MU1805X, I found the sound of that table rounder, warmer. the helixboard my taste has a more aggressive, more "dry". mafois, for what I did (techno music) it is enough. mdium with the band enough Troit has makes it easy to enhance the power of a cot aggressive sound: the sound APRS rsultats obtained passage in a disto are really INTERESTED.

I will cons by the sound of the fan ...

OVERALL OPINION

I VAIT sell in the near future ... I am much more often in home studio that the outside. I can not stand the fan!! it is not for the home studio, working less than a cot washing machine, refrigerator, and a constantly lit tl actually, in this case the fan goes inappropriate ut.

if not for the sound / recording live, frankly, it is really good. Lgre; ngligeable which is not usable as a table position rack, small multi-effect that can dpanner ... is the one I choose for that use.

I think direct me to a Mackie SR24-4, is the only (I found that matches what I need
