Feature:
Would have been nice to have a wider range EQ to better deal with feedback. Effects are clean and good enough for indoor and outdoor gigs. Subgroups are great because you can pipe mics to a separate amp and a separate set of speakers if you wanted to. The built-in crossover is great and allows you to run your subwoofers without adding a separate crossover.

Quality:
I have it installed in a rack and have been using it for over 3 years - Solid as a rock and it bounces all over my truck every week on the way to and from the gig.

Value:
Nothing comes close to this price and features.

Desirability:
Light, looks good and clean. Sliders are tight - really nice mixer

Sound:
Clean, clear, noiseless. Reviewer who said that the sound is too clean, is tally clueless and probably works for a competitor. How can a sound be to clean when we all strive to have no noise. This think is awesome and I se it for live shows all the time driving 4 mics keyboard and digital drum-kit

Ease of Use:
Fairly simple, but if you never used pro-mixers and subgroups, the manual will be your friend – well written.

Support:
never needed

Feature:
I wish it had wider EQ range

Quality:
Rock solid, I have been using it for over 2 years now and never had issues

Value:
Price could be about $100 lower for what it is

Desirability:
Solid, clear awesome. Yamaha has nothing on Mackie

Sound:
Clean, clear, quiet. Effects sound nice and nnot muddy

Ease of Use:
NO magic needed

Support:
Never needed it

Overall:
If you are a live band, this mixer is awesoem

Feature:
Its crazy that you have to use sub mixes to get to the main-outs. No other brand offers this kind of madness.Other than that, this mixer has more or less the same features as any mixing desk,

Quality:
I have heard that often on Mackie desks channels start to fail, could it be that Mackie and Behringer are about the same quality with the Mackie being just a fraction better, I think - Yes

Value:
Value... for the same money you can get a Yamaha or Soundcraft desk, this I would call value.

Desirability:
If I want a Mackie desk, Well, if I would have the choice between a Behringer and a Mackie, I probably would choose the Mackie. But if I could choose freely, I would not wan´t either of them.

Sound:
The sound of this mixer, yes, it sounds, it sounds crystal clear, a bit too clear for my liking.I would prefer a somehow more natural, more realistic sound. A Behringer desk sounds crystal clear too, but I guess the Mackie is just a little bit better build than any Behringer. If you want a good sound, get a Allan & Heath, a Yamaha or a Soundcraft desk. Yes, Mackie mixer are hyped in a big way, but why ?

Ease of Use:
Well, if you don´t mind that its not too easy to get a good sound via Mackies EQ´s,if you don´t mind that you have to use the sub mix faders to get to the L and R main outs, then I think this desk is fairly easy to use,... as any

Support:
I do not know, but heard good about their support.

Overall:
Overall, a Mackie would be an option..IF..there would not be better options for roughly the same money.
