I own 4 of these. they are in portable karaoke systems. i can get all the sound i want from them. the channel tone controls are good. reverb is good not great. the analyzer is over rated (probably more for recording than live). still need to adjust by hand and ear. but for a compact system sweepable mids, mic compressors, main eq, dual band finalize compressor. is is a great bang for the buck. exception is other people using it hav e no clue how to set the tones. i get it back , see the settings and wonder how bad it must have sounded. it's intuitive to me, but not to those who run my systems without me there. bottom line, gotta know what you are doing, and its is nice feature mixer

Edirol M-10DX Mixer Customer Review
Sound
the sound is clean and detailed. I would compare it with my Mackie mixing board. EQ adjust the sound with great detail, no distortion. Room Acoustic control is great, specially in live situations ! The sound of our band improved a lot. No low rumble, detailed highs and shiny mid even in rooms with hard acoustic.
We have recorded couple of our performances with this mixing board, took the output with coaxial. Nearly perfect sound.
Features
Room Acoustic control - must be tool ! That was one of the main features, I bought this mixing board.
Good mastering tool (Finalize) that are perfect also in live performances. Rever - could be better, but overall useful.
Ease of Use
if you know, what is mixing and mastering - you can tweak everything step by step. If you are newbie - just use presets -they are surprisingly good.
Quality
I give it 6, because my mixing board started to have problems in the third use !
Cursor button FWD does not work, so I can't use the menu, I cant adjust anything !!!!
Pan/Bal button does not wok, so I cant adjust balance or panorama. There two buttons just lock, sometimes in the middle of use, sometimes right out of box. All other buttons work perfectly. Strnge thing is that there is nothing wrong with buttons itself ! One day they work, the other day not ! They stopped working on the third use just in the middle of recording session. Next day - everything worked fine and I had no problems for week. Then the same problem. I didn't have any problem in december and just otday the same buttons stopped working again ! I thing it is some sort of software problem. I have no solution yet, because technical supprot (Finalnd)has not contacted me (wrote them about this problem more than a month ago !)
Manufacturer Support
cant say - they have not contacted me within a more than month :-(

"ACOUSTIC ROOM CORRECTIONS - WORTH THE $400 ALONE"
Three words: ACOUSTIC ROOM CORRECTION
It's pretty simply - that one feature alone makes it worth buying this mixer. Simply amazing results. I don't actually use this mixer to mix music within a DAW -- instead, I use it to mix the output from my sound card to my speakers to compensate for room acoustics, as well as to boost the low-end of my speakers when I'm just casually listening to iTunes, etc. I set iTunes software EQ to flat and then I use this Roland mixer to meet my personal EQ preferences.
Using the Acoustic Room Correction is the difference between a dull sound and a sparkling smooth, heavenly sound. Everyone I let listen to my music is blown away by the way it sound (thanks to my little secret: my Edirol mixer)
The Acoustic Room Correction alone is worth the $400. Buy if just for that... for me it was very well worth it.
I only wish that Roland had a mixer device like this with Acoustic Room Correction for 5.1 and 7.1 set-ups. I wish...
But seriously folks, it you own a home studio and can't afford tons of room acoustic absorbers and diffusers, than buy this. The next best thing is the JBL LSR series speakers, but those are much more expensive then this little mixer, which works well if you already have a pair of speaker monitors that you like and you're on a budget, yet you want the most accurate, pleasing sound possible.
I havn't heard any noise issues like the review before this. That could be due to any aspect of his signal chain. I've actually found this mixer to be very top-notch reliable.
Sound
Features
Toms of great features. I only wish they make of these with more outputs for 5.1 or 7.1 surround eventually.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. Just hook up a microphone, set it in your prime listening position, and press the Acoustic Room Control button: the mixer then automatically calibrates an EQ setting to match your room acoustics by sending out and measuring static noise through the speakers and listening back. It makes about 4 attempts, gets the response flatter and flatter each time until it's leveled out as far as it can go. Then listen to some of your music.... "wow"... is all you'll be thinking.
Quality
No problems yet, I've had it for almost 8 months. It works excellent in all aspects.
The Wow Factor
It looks pretty nice, the digital display makes it look fancy as well. It doesn't look "cheap" to me like some small mixers do.

Very good value. It's almost worth it just for the Acoustic Room Control, but also the EQ. I haven't tried the microphone preamps yet so i can't tell you what those are like.
Sound
The reason I give the sound an 8 is because with the gain turned all the way up, this mixer adds a noticeable amount of noise.
Features
The features is where this mixer wins. I has a lot of features. I really like it's EQ features -- it gives you a TON more control than an analog mixer... and I get to see what's going on right there on the display on the mixer.
I especially like the Acoustic Room Control feature. This works very well. It was like night and day. I didn't know what I was missing -- the sound is so much more clear now, it's hard to believe how muddy it used to be.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. Excellent.
Quality
Very good features, but a little bit noisy. I think that can be worked around though, and actually the noise is not any worse than my last mixer which was an analog mixer.
