A workhorse among powered mixers
Published on 05/07/13 at 13:05It was my first powered mixer and I still have it (in 2013): That says a lot about its longevity and sturdiness.
I still rent it from time to time together with a couple of speakers and it does its job pretty well: Amplify previously recorded music or sources coming from one or several mics.
It is practical, without any irrelevant features, although it has lots of useful tools: Phantom power, 6 XLR channels, including two thar are also line + stereo, small 7-band EQ on the master but also for the second channel if you use it as return, small basic reverb (hall/plate/room), which is more than enough and, especially, easy enough for...…

The pros: Reliability, ease of use, and decent sound quality
The cons (being picky): A bit heavy, jack headphone out
I wouldn't hesitate to buy it or its bigger sibling, the 860!!!
6 inputs, reverb. It can be used as a mixer by connecting it to a more powerful amp. Additional effects can be added via the loop. EQ for each amp. It features treble-mid-bass controls + a very effective Equalizer for each channel. 2 jack speaker outputs for each amp (4 speakers in total).
Very easy to use and practical to install. It's very interesting to have in one single unit an amp for the main speakers and another one for the monitors.
Very good sound and plenty of different settings. Very low noise. Good sound quality.

Excellent model that I can only recommend. It's ideal for a small band. It's very good gear for shows in small venues. Very reliable gear.
I use it since 1988 and I am very satisfied with it. I plan to change it to get more power and inputs, but otherwise I'd keep it. If you are thinking about buying it, don't think it twice, you will not be disappointed. I give it 9/10 as overall mark only not to give it the best mark.
Guitarists and bassists, used to their amps loaded with effects, discover the "true" sound of their instrument, just the way it comes out of the instrument (very pure)!
Synth, vocals, guitar...everything sounds great.
Its only defect is that it's hard to make a recording due to the outputs (or someone has to explain me how to do it).
Oh, yes! I had to fix the radiator which came off (I had to dismount it to recover the screw). But it's not that bad.
Excellent for a small band, for rehearsals.
