- For how long have you been using it?

+ One year
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Yes in the studio, but brands that no longer exist (but the stuff still works quif)
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------
- What thing do you like most/least about it?

Cruuusssshhhhhhh
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------
- What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Shameful. Almost flying!
Instead Beringher buy 10 to 60 €

(Little green but it's called planned obsolescence which we are unfortunately all victims)
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------

Once again, we Mackie proves beyond doubt that its products come from the same Chinese factories that produced Beringher. With the same components (+ cheap market I guess ...) So I thought there was still a slight difference between the two components used brands ...

And it's really unfortunate because at this price, for a simple switch is expected to listen to something decent.

A priori selection buttons are made to be used about 500 times I would say. What makes some users who have the big knob, without using the regular selection buttons may not notice the problem because only the big volume knob (the big knob) it seems to take better .... But I 've been a little over a year, it is possible that the problems start in a few months ... I would not hesitate to keep you informed if it happens (unless that is blocked ... my message board requires pub ...)

In short, it crachouille to death! I have to keep pressing the button to no longer having fake contacts ... So I let them all active, and I make my selections via my computer as before the switch (which I bought to avoid passing by the computer correctly) It only remains for me the volume knob ... . If I had bought the product at 60 € Beringher I understood ... but I just put the price for not having any problems, I thought naively.

In fact, if we want today's robust (real studio stuff) you have to pay much more ....

In the end I would say that with a budget of 600 € is better to buy 10 Beringher and replace as and a measure of buying the same components with a nicer case for the same price ...
Anyway, the money will go into the same pockets :-)

So you need to know is that it is rather the same kind of switch you have on your hi-fi studio rather than a tool .... DAMAGE!

When you think that the mark was the official sponsor of the CAS (or at the time I was there) Just like the quality of training received there ??....

PS to the moderator:

You can remove the last sentence, if it bothers you ... The goal is not to put you back to your advertisers ... I love your site .... I can participate but I wanted to inform
your readers about this product, because at the time I enjoyed reading this kind of message ...

Thanking you!
