Headphones output with dedicated control.
Easy readable VU-meter.
USB interface for 2 channels only, to record with the included Cubasis Lt.
UTILIZATION
It's an analog mixer, easy to use, the manual is clear and comprehensive.
Every channel has an ON switch.
In short, it's a Yamaha, clear and precise.
SOUNDS
The console is reliable, without noise, the EQ is precise, the compressor is effective and the built-in effects are interesting. There's not much to say, considering its quality and price. It's good gear, it only lacks some additional phantom power.
It is powered via an external supply.
The USB interface allows you to record with a PC and Cubasis LT, which is included. It's a bit light in this regard, but don't forget it's an analog mixer and it's more than enough to record a demo or monitor something.
OVERALL OPINION
We use it in a home studio and for gigs (pop band with 4 musicians) and we are satisfied. We have tried other brands before (samick; behringer) and this one is the most comprehensive.
If I had to choose another one, I'd go for a Yamaha, the only con is that we live in a digital world, so I think we'll do the switch and move in that direction shortly.

bidiz1Good gear
Published on 07/25/14 at 13:50Rackable, with all necessary connections, built-in effects (not high-end, but they do their job!).
UTILIZATION
Easy-to-use mixer for beginners, which we are...It has a short learning curve.
SOUNDS
Decent sound for its category. You need to really push it to get some noise.
OVERALL OPINION
It was the first mixer we got for our band (we then switched to a FireWire model), and it served us well....Good value for money, a safe bet when you don't have the means to buy a high-end product!

With its rack design, this mixer aimed at recording allows for a wide range of applications.
UTILIZATION
The connections and multiple controls are adapted to different needs.
SOUNDS
In terms of sound, it can't be criticized, since it conforms to the specs, except for the FX, which are weaker and produce noise. The usb port offers the possibility to connect it to a computer, both for playback and recording, you need to increase the level to get a usable threshold.
OVERALL OPINION
After two years of use, I'm very satisfied with this mixer. Overall, a good product.
