"Excellent Value...Good Product"

The person who couldn't get enough volume out of this either needs to check his set up or find out what is wrong...I have (2) yamaha SIIV-15 speakers and (2) 10" monitors hooked to mine and I can sound almost anywhere. Sounding for 500 people is no problem at all.
In fact I am thinking about expanding and adding an additional (2) 12" speakers to the set up for outdoor use.
The faders on my unit are very smooth. The controls for the effects can be a little confusing, be sure to go slow in learning how to use it or you can over do the effects and get a muddy sound. When set up propperly it has great clearity, good volume, and lots of versatility. Hmmm... mine didn't come with a cover. I did get the gig bag made by samson and am very pleased with it.
Final annalysis...I'm glad I bought it, if I had it to do over again....I would without reservation.

"Yes, good overall quality, excellent value, very good manual"

Solid and heavy, could use better quality volume slides, good layout of controls, comes with rack mounts brackets, fan could be a little quieter, should come with detachable cover for travel, excellent value.
Used it with two Yamaha Club IV 12" mains and two 10" monitors in a 30 x 80 meeting room, power was adequate...could use another 25-50 watts per channel capacity. Good product..would buy again.
