«  Interesting to "practice", but ... »

Hello all.

1 / How long have you been using?
We use this sound for about 6 months, the only time in rehearsal for the song.

2 / What is special that you like most and least?
The +:
+ The power sufficient for a group Noisy-Pop drum / bass / guitar song.
You can not pass the song currently in, but maybe some samples soon. Ample.
+ + The output for adding additional powered speakers for a future possible returns.
+ + + Of course, the practical aspect of this sound! Table in a chamber, in the other cables. Perfect for space saving :) Really the compact!

The -:
--- No pan! For one voice, okay, but for many it is still annoying. For me this is the biggest downside of this sound, this is the first time I see a table without pan!
- An equation still limited to the price of the sound, we would have appreciated a medium para possibly facilitate the search history of the feedback equation against such slaughter without acute or severe depending on ^ ^.
-The reverb is super ugly honestly ^ ^ but hey, putting 1 or 2 grand max, it can be used while waiting for a real reverb ^ ^
- The speaker jacks plastic ... cheap to death, there is no incentive to take the foot in the cables too often ...
The fan-cooling a bit light for this power, I fear for the components to heavy use. But hey, I would put a neutral on this point, because do not forget that it's "compact"!

I add 2 points I would say "neutral"
_The Compress, yeah, nice, but hey, it looks like more of a "boost" that compress ... they could have a medium para instead, it would have been more useful ...
_The Button speech / music, yesh ok, but in the end it is always set to "music" ... ^ ^ it is supposed to cut the bass position mainly speech, indeed this is the case but still very light. Finally Panoramic mono inputs would have been more useful ^ ^

3 / Did you try many other models before buying it?
No, we jumped at the chance to € 500 because they had heard only good things about this model and we were in a hurry with a sound that finally we would hear the voice.

4 / How do you price / quality ratio?
The value for money always seems unfair (today anyway, everything is too expensive ...), it could still be cheaper saw the appearance of some cheap components and major limitations "art" of this sound .
From 780 € to 900 € new, I still find it unfair! "It's yamaha": Moui can be, but it's still relatively cheap the gear, see the "minus" above. (Sorry for this Anglicism I use a little too much in this post ^ ^)

5 / With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Ptet bin that yes, Mayhap qu'non ... I confess I do not know ... say that if we had time, we would probably have tested other systems, but I think we would still quite hesitant because of the strong point, the compactness of this model for our vehicles ^ ^. Despite the relatively large gaps (no pano, no medium, speaker terminals plastoc ...).
In the same circumstances (urgency of our research), we would probably jump at the chance again we had a great and serious seller (it will recognize if it goes through there :) thank you again to the passage). € 500 for a sound like that in a great state, yeah, it does. Moreover, it should be the price new, but it is only my opinion and my misunderstanding of the current prices of new ...

Conclusion:
I put a 7/10 because I think especially compared price new / Components that seems really exaggerated! But it's still "good" because really practical / compact is actually a very strong force is to admit it.
