Sound:
the subwoofer output is effected buy the graphic eq part, so if you want to use it as a crossover, it won't work. if you drop the lows in the graphic eq part it will pull the lows out of the sub out. same with the low cut knob, it is NOT a dedicated sub out because everything else effect's it.

Feature:
I'm knocking it down 2 notches because of the fbq feature. As an EQ, it does everything it should. Hi and lo pass filters are convenient if not redundant. Sub x-over is fine. The FBQ is handy, but not complete. Intensity of glowing sliders shows sound levels per frequency, but that's it. You can visually identify strong/weak spots, but you still need your ears. What it does do is make tuning quicker, but it does not do it for you. Feedback will show up as one bright slider, so you can quickly nab it/tune it if you ring the room, but folks who know the "I don't have a RTA-capable EQ" methods will find this only a convenience. Folks that don't know how to tune a room by ear will not benefit from this feauture. A noise insert & a measurement mic insert would make it work...

Quality:
I think it's built well. Sliders feel precise and smooth, but strike me as delicate. House installs = fine. The controls don't feel up to the occassional woopsie that gigging encounters. I'm knocking it 3 points because, like alot of Berhinger gear, there's a really nasty power-off pop. I mean, I hate to even expose powered-off gear to the surge.

Value:
Outstanding sound at minimal cost.

Desirability:
turn on fbq and the lights go nuts...if you're into that sort of thing.

Sound:
Sound is outstanding. My older furman eq was clean, but very muddy in comparison. Bass is tight but full, no slop. Highs are crystal. I don't mean to go overboard, but the sound quality rivals eqs 3 times as costly.

Ease of Use:
It's an EQ...

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
Its a static install. I'll use it indefinently.
