Feature:
The crossfader is a non contact optical and will last you the rest of your life. Up faders and cross faders have "cut" adjustments from slow to fast. You can literally blow the crossfader from one side to the other, it's that smooth.Has fire wire attachments

Quality:
Heavy mixer...I think it's 12 pounds or so...no kidding. Fits nicely between turntables. Built to last MACKIE did it right on this one.I think road use wouldn't be a problem with this mixer.Color scheme is nice looking and the knobs light up in LED blue...very cool.

Value:
A bit pricy for this one...MACKIE could have brought in this mixer at a lower cost being thier first plung into the DJ scene.I could go for the RANE TTM 56 for this price.

Desirability:
I love it.....BLUE LED lights for the eqs, color scheme is nice, it just looks like a beautiful piece.

Sound:
Awesome sound....you better be careful when you are cueing becuase the internal amp will blow your ear drum so TURN IT DOWN when you wear your headphones.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use

Support:
Didn't have to contact them

Overall:
Should last me forever. I BELIVE THIS IS A DISCONTINUED ITEM AND MACKIE NO LONGER SELLS IT
