The console is not rackable but you can put it on a stand. 10 channels, 4 mono with XLR/Jack inputs and 3 stereo (2 on jacks and 1 on RCA). 3-band equalizer No effects UTILIZATION Simple setup, easy installation. The manual is well done, without being too technical. SOUNDS It's a $100 mixer, so don't expect too much from it. My setup is pretty simple: 1 stereo input: 1 revox tape recorder 1 mono input: 1 grundig tape recorder 2 mono inputs: different mics, cd players... 1 jack output going into an Edirol UA 25 1 return from the Edirol via jacks 1 output for my active monitors No noise, unless you crank it all the way up, but who does that, anyway? Very sensitive equalizer, which can distort sound quite rapidly. Be careful. OVERALL OPINION I've used it for two and a half years. Stereo channel 8 deteriorated after one year and I started hearing noise from the left speaker. That meant two months of after-sales service — very annoying! Two weeks later and with an interval of one year, same problem, same track! I am not too violent with the console, I only turn the pots. Decent value for money, but apparently the reliability leaves a lot to be desired. I hesitated between the soundcraft compact 4 and the small Tapco... My review could've been different!... I would certainly not buy this mixer again (especially two years later, now that there are consoles that double as audio interfaces).
