UTILIZATION

Very accesible, easy to use, manual very well done, I did read that faith and I did not need to reopen.

SOUNDS

The preamps are very propre.ça not break bricks, but it is quite correct, I never had me a blast that appears plaindre.tres Légé a 80% gain and become so if they are pushed to catch (but it's not for that either is an entry-level table) but it holds water.

the equalo is also very correct when you turn the knob we feel that it works, just the sharp correction that brings too many blows to my taste, but at mm temp, I do very rarely used for EQ I use it almost almost home studio.

direct sound and good, clean, and sorry if I repeat, it is very correcte.Pour have used in the 400euro Yamaha in rehearsal studios (on different L Acoustic) Bin this little beast is doing more as well.

small problem is the A / D converter that fishing a little ... cardre in a recovery for a kidney enregistrement.encore a catastrophic faith I can assure you, you just do not have to be outdone by a loss of depth and warmth of the sound between the time of listening and monitoring via replay a track in the faith séquenceur.Je think it's his main point faible.Je make a small editorial when I test a record reprnant the ANA reported by another higher-end sound card to get an idea the signal degradation during processing.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost 1year and I'm not complaining, it's really a good animal.

What I like is its effectiveness, it is exactly where you would expect, never surprises.

I had to test some OCASI table of the same brand qoit These and disappointing night out of my moyen.L acquisition audio via usb this table is a good compromise, it's clean.

RAPORT very good value for money is undeniable. New pay 666euro I do not regret my investment.

again this choice?

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. Very good user's manual, I read it only once and haven't had the need to open it anymore.

SOUNDS

Very clean sounding preamps. Their sound is not exceptional but quite ok. I can't complain! At 80% of the gain I noticed some noise which gets louder at maximum gain (it's obvious that the preamps are not conceived for such settings and it's a budget mixer anyways) but the sound is quite ok.

The EQ is also good. It has very effective controls. The high frequency filter adds too much hiss but I rarely use the EQ because I use it almost only in my home studio.

The sound is good and clean... I'll say that again: the sound is very good. I've used more expensive Yamaha models for rehearsals and I can say this small mixer offers a good performance.

The AD converter is not so good for recording applications. It's not that important but don't be surprised if you have some depth and warmth loss between live and recorded sound. I think that's its main weakness. I will update this review after recording the analog signal with a better sound card so that I can really assess the audio quality loss.

OVERALL OPINION

I've owned it for almost a year and I can't complain, it's a good device.

Most of all I like that it's convenient and reliable.

I had the opportunity to try out other Yamaha mixers and they were either disappointing or too expensive for me. The USB capability of this mixer is a good compromise.

Very good value for money. I don't regret having bought it.

Would I buy it again?

I'll get back to you as soon as I test a better quality sound card.
