"Most Bang for the Buck!"

Feature:
The mixer came with a firewire cable, power cord, mounting rack ears, Cubase LE, and the operators manual. The Cubase software is limited to 4 simultaneous channels at a time. If you plan on recording a band live you'll need to upgrade the software or use something else. I use Mackie's Traction 3

Quality:
The mixer is well made. I recommend you put it in a case if your going to be moving it around (common sense).

Value:
This mixer blows the competition away. I was originally going to get the Mackie 16 channel Onyx. Well by the time you buy the firewire card your gonna spend around $1600.00. This cost less than half the price. Did I mention this mixer fits in a standard 19" case and the Mackie does'nt? Sounds like a no brainer to me.

Desirability:
It's cool.

Sound:
This mixer does'nt really have a sound, its clean and transparent. The sound you'll hear will be that of your microphones, speakers and of your performance. Lots of headroom. I've used all sixteen mic inputs for live performances and it worked perfectly.

Ease of Use:
The mixer is easy to use, however because you have 16 channels worth of controls in a 19" wide space, the knobs are close to each other. Make sure you get a goose neck lite so that you don't adjust the wrong control accidentally.

Support:
Called Phonic to ask them about using other software and they answered all my questions.

Overall:
The only reason I would replace this mixer is if I needed more channels.

"Great for Live or amateur Studio use."

Feature:
Pretty much does everything a MixWiz will, but this has the added option of Firewire I/O.

Quality:
Time will tell. I've had this board for 6 months running the show in a rack, and had no problems. I have an old Phonic board I've used for about 15 years, and had a scratchy pot. No other problems. I don't expect any,

Value:
This is a steal. Look at a Presonus firepod and it's limited capabilities then look at this.

Desirability:
LOL. It looks like a mixer.

Sound:
Very transparent preamps. Many of the effects are good as well, but I do not use them (have another source) so we can use all of the aux channels for personal monitor mixes.

Ease of Use:
It's a mixing board. Know how to run one? Then this one is a piece o cake.

Support:
Never dealt with them.

Overall:
This thing is great for live use. We've used it with great results in the 'studio' as well. The drivers worked perfectly and everything worked great with a desktop. Had limited luck with a laptop. This board is worth every penny.
