Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have now had this for a year and have had a chance to really check this out and overall it is a great mixer with features and options that don't come on the ZED 60-14 FX. Other than the fact that I don't like hearing myself talk when I am by myself, the sound quality is great with a few adjustments even though this one was a breeze to set up audio wise with Audacity compared to the ZED 60-14 FX. Still a great board and even an option where you can run only mics or you can run main mix altogether so that is a plus with this and is a great selling point.

Sound
As I had mentioned above, the sound quality is great with this mixer and for one this size.

Features
I have not used it for guitars yet but I have used it for conference calls and recording commercials for Indie Radio Network.

Ease of Use
It was really easy to situate around on the laptop and get the drivers installed so programs like Audacity and Vonage would pick it up. It did take some time to figure out as I didn't use it a lot til recently.

Quality
The mixer is very well built and reliable as it also worked well on Windows 10 but did install the drivers to make full use of its capabilities.

Value
This mixer is definitely worth the price and its features may or may not be found on other mixers of this size.

Manufacturer Support
I have… read more not had any major issues as everything works as it should.

The Wow Factor
The appeal is great for those looking for a mixer that can do what they need without sacrificing a lot of space. It works for what I need it for.
