"Nice features, but bad mixer."

Feature:
The mixer has lots of nice features for a rackmount mixer, but the preamps are junk.

Quality:
Poor engineering with the preamps.

Value:
The mixer is cheap considering all the features, but I no longer use it because the sound doesn't come close to my other mixers.

Sound:
The preamps on this mixer are very touchy and don't provide enough level.

Ease of Use:
Finding a good setting on the trim settings can be a challenge with dynamic mics.

Support:
The phone support was not very helpfull.

"This mixer is a gem!!"

Feature:
This mixer has individual channel inserts. It was originally geared toward recording, but I use it for live performances with terrific results. It also has XLR inputs per on 8 of the 10 channels. This mixer is well worth its price.

Quality:
Excellent quality. Never had any electronic trouble.

Value:
Excellent value mixer... does what it was designed to do quite well... that is, bring the input signal to a pre-amp level without introducing noise!

Desirability:
This mixer has a new faceplate... it changed from black to a much lighter color. This improves visibility of panel markings. The knob colors were changed, as well, which aids in quickly identifying the each knob's purpose.

Sound:
This mixer is quiet and clean. I use it in a live setting. According to the manual, the mixer works best using a high-level setting on each channel slider. I tried that, the results were terrific. It still has plenty of headroom for those input hungry power amps.

Support:
Never needed it...

Overall:
If this mixer were stolen, I would definitely replace it with another just like it. There is no other rack mixer that can compete with this one for its size, price, and performance.
