Feature:
The features it has are good but it could have had a mid EQ with the hi and low. The vocal elimiantor does not work very well. It just muffles the vocals and make the rest of the music sound like it's going through a reverb unit. Effects are great and just the ones I need on a regular basis.

Quality:
Very well built. The cable connectors are firm, cables don't just fall out or come out with great ease. Faders are solid too. No wall wart!!! Other companys should follow suit! The effects soud great! The best reverb ever. Chours is smooth and full. Flange and phaser can be used without hearing extra modulation.

Value:
I never would have paid $300 for this. However when it went for $189.95 I said SOLD!

Desirability:
This is not the perfect mixer but it is close. The things I don't like are far out weighed by all the other features, quality and impressive sound. I've looked for a mixer for over 18 months. I've compared mixers over and over again and came up with this one. It looks better than all the others too.

Sound:
The sound can't be beat! Very high quality!

Overall:
I plan on having this mixer for a long time and wanted something of a good reputation. One can't go wrong with Mackie. I am a one man band and this fits my needs very well.

Feature:
Decent features, high quality construction, the effects are about average but are clean sounding. An add on effects unit of top quality is being purchased to replace the on-board.

Quality:
My particular unit was pristine in condition. No shortcomings in quality at all

Value:
Are you kidding? A unit like this would have easily cost around $700.00 just 10 years ago.

Desirability:
Very usefull start for my home hobby studio-Just wish I had gotten the 12 channel

Sound:
Very clean sound, this mixer is the basis for my apartment home studio. I used the tapco line back in the 70's for live sound reinforcement, so mackie was a natural for me

Support:
Hard to rte as I have not had any problems

Overall:
Expect long term realiability,will NOT replace it until it dies

Feature:
I used this at home for my Karaoke system, the EFX is just great. It also got Phantom for my SM87A too! Fine tunning is also far enough for my usage. The drawback I can think of is its lack of computer connections.

Quality:
The AMP is great and quiet. At least I didn't realize any noise coming from it so far.

Value:
Best value Karaoke mixer.... if you want to have better sound and not mind to do some presetting work. Forget all those rubbish Karaoke mixers.

Desirability:
I just can't compare the old days without this little monster.

Sound:
Spend some time on the manual and do some "try and error" on the EQ while using it, it sounds great at this price tag.

Ease of Use:
This is my first mixer though. But it is not that hard when you read through the manual.

Support:
Never need this so far.... thanks GOD!

Overall:
This is the best Karaoke product I have ever had. And it satisfy my needs so far..... until I am beginning to think of recording through a computer.... profx??

Feature:
The effects are great I had mine on large hall, I play guitar and vocals.

Quality:
Very good quaity solidly built, robust and very good price.

Value:
I think the DFX6 is worth a lot more.

Desirability:
I did a gig a couple of years ago with a violinist and he had a mackie mixer and since then I knew Mackie spells quality.

Sound:
Man , I am absolutly blown away by this DFX6. I used it for the first time yesterday and at first it took me a while to get my head around it with the tweaking but today I did a gig and the sound quality top notch. I adjusted the five band stereo EQ to how I wanted it and even when I have the main volume at a low setting the quality is outstanding

Ease of Use:
It took me a little while at first to tweak but once I did I am very very happy.

Support:
i think I am going to have this mixer for a long while

Overall:
As a 6 channel mixer , brillant .

Feature:
The digital effects processor gives the normal range of effects that you would use for vocals or guitar. If I were to use it live an led to show which channels were muted would be nice.

Quality:
It's main use is in the home but appears to be built to withstand the riggers of life on the road. All the parts areof heavy duty material.

Value:
Good bang for the buck!

Sound:
Quiet, Clean sound eminates from this device. I use it for home recording of guitar, vocals.

Support:
The unit is brand new and had no defects upon arrival. After visiting the manufactures web site it appears they have a good set up for support.

Feature:
I would like to be able to have one channel have one effect--like Delay 1--while a vocal track has another--like small room. I still feel like I need to have external effects to do anything interesting. However, the effects themselves sound great.

Quality:
Solid and heavy. Main slider was slightly bent on delivery, but I fixed it no problem.

Value:
$189 seemed like a great deal for a board with effects in it. If I didn't already have a power amp I would have gone the Powered Mixer/PA route, but I am very happy with my purchase.

Sound:
I found the eq options easy to use and able to give me the right sound I need. Even without the mid eq it sounded great. I run vocals and an acoustic guitar straight in and it is wonderful

Overall:
I'll keep this unless I find that I need more than 4 mic inputs

I like this mixer very much so far. It has 2 problems that have bugged me ever since I hooked i up.

1. The "MUTE" buttons for each of the six tracks do not have an LED, so its a bit hard to see at a glance which are muted.

2. The main graphic EQ has small and fragile sliders, instead of grips.

otherwise, this mixer works just the way I wnat it to. Phantom +48v power - good, nice layout - good, size - great (for my rack at least)

Feature:
good features especially for the price and size. Vocal eliminator is a great bonus.. I do pro Karaoke (not necessarlly a conflict of terms)It comes in real handy, and works better than most vocal eliminators.

Quality:
Once again for the price, outstanding

Value:
Well worth the price I payed

Sound:
Great sound! Easy to control feedback and distortion.

Support:
Can't really rate this one. I have 2 mackie mixers and speaker systems. over 4 years.. never had a problem.

Feature:
Good features,but with the hum who cares.

Quality:
I'd say they have a quality control problem.

Value:
Hummmm

Desirability:
Nice product except for the hum

Sound:
The one I got on 12/30/07 had a hum in the left channel generated from the XLR output. It was surely coming from the mixer so I got a polite replacement from ZZounds right away... but.... Same problem with the new one. I called Mackie techs but they could only guess that there was a missing part or broken solder in the machine. With the hum the sound rating is 2...

Ease of Use:
Easy to use and set up but the hum...

Support:
The tech person at Mackie was good.

Overall:
With the hum... what can I say? I'm getting an Alesis MultiMix 6FX. It has enough features for me and is $100 less. We'll see how that one wroks out.
