Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I'm already looking for other equipment.
Sound
There's a lot more hiss than I expected in the outputs. While there are supposed to be powered preamps, they are only on the xlr channels, which means I STILL HAD TO USE A DIRECT BOX TO PATCH MY GUITAR INTO THE MIXER THROUGH THE 1/4 INPUTS BEFORE I COULD GET ENOUGH SIGNAL TO SEND TO MY COMPUTER!
Features
The whole reason I bought this unit was the "Hard disk" record mode, which I thought should give me the best signal output to my computer. Wrong again! The hard disk mode goes out through RCA channels, which not only is poorer quality than 1/4" or xlr, but my sound card does not even have RCA inputs, so I can't even use this feature!
Quality
Overall construction is solid.
Value
The price was as high or higher than other multi channel mixers, such as Beringher, which also give effects and occasionally more EQ bands.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't contact them, so I give them a five by default.
The Wow Factor
Doesn't do the job I wanted it to. I have to buy more equipment to interface with the computer, OR SEND IT BACK! Guess which I'll be doing?
