Rolls RM203X Stereo Line Mixer

Quality:
One little gripe regarding the user interface. On the unit I have the L and R screenprint on each channel's pan controls are backwards; as is the 1 and 10 level indications on the aux sends. Perhaps the printer just had a bad day. It took me 4 weeks to notice this though, and which point I did a double take! :-) But, this product is built like a tank. Great feeling knobs (except the little pan and aux knobs, which are too small and hard to turn, but I understand they had to save somewhere to get this into one rack space...).

Value:
Well worth the price. If you want a clean, transparent, compact mixer, this is it.

Desirability:
This is not a sexy product. Thank goodness! It does what it's supposed to do, and stays out of the way.

Sound:
I use the Rolls in a guitar rack, where it mixes the stereo outs of a Boogie TriAxes preamp (Rolls channels 2 and 3) and mono out from an Ovation acoustic (Rolls channel 4). A TC Electronic G-Force is blended into the mix via the aux sends and returned to channels 5 and 6. The stereo outs of the Rolls then feed a Boogie Simul-Class:90 power amp. It works quite well in this application. I wanted a compact mixer that added 0 tone to the Boogie gear; one that was completely transparent. And, that's what I got! I love this little mixer. It knows how to stay out of the way.

Support:
Never needed support, so can't comment. I've had the Rolls about 6 months.

Overall:
I'd buy another one if this one were run over by a truck (but, it just might survive). Small size, transparency, mic preamp, and aux sends are why I bought this. If fit my application like a glove. Small aux/pan knobs, incorrect screenprinting on the aux/pan labels are it's minor drawbacks.

Feature:
No complaints here I mean how can you when it all fits in one rack space. THAT amps were found inside which could have been much worse. 2 Auxes would have been great however.

Quality:
Knobs small but workable. Sturdy build for the most part. Case a little weak but when mounted in a rack you could never tell. Overall the mixer is fairly solid.

Value:
For what it does I guess it's worth the money and as well you do get 19 inputs so No complaints here either. Guess thats easy for me to say since i go all three for 150 bucks.

Desirability:
Looks good and works good so I have to say it is a darn good mixer as most of it's competition (Below the price range) doesn't perform nearly as good.

Sound:
Very Clean and just enough headroom to take a mean kick or boom. Very Nice when connecting mulitple units. The MPC1000 sounded very acceptable with agressive sounds within reason as you can clip the mixer but satisfactory indeed. connecting three all at once using the aus return and not a drop of noise.

Ease of Use:
Just setting it in the center detent usually does the trick and if you need a little more just a touch and you arrive at happiness. Pretty self explanitary as I don't have a manual. I also didn't get the power supplies with either of the three. Turns out they use 12vAC 0.33ma instead of DC power. The positive is on the outside. I already had a couple of these that had to have the polarity reversed (cut the cable and wire up backwards)

Support:
Haven't needed any

Overall:
