Back to Product Information
Sound: Up to now, depending on the band and venue and requirements, I've used Tascam DA38/DA78 DTRS or Fostex VF160 recorders for recording and CUBASE SX3 on a PC laptop for mixing and production. The FOSTEX Helix Board Universal now allows me to record 16 channels direct to the PC. The sound quality is fine - I'm not Abbey Road but I've not noticed any problems even though I'm using the default provided by Phonic. Feature: The metal cased mixer looks to have good visible build quality and so far has been very reliable. On features, look them up - For the money it can't be beat - period. Ease of Use: Why do so many companies with a great product skimp on documentation ? In spite of inaccurate software installation notes in the manual I got the mixer working with my laptop first time. Quality: Finish and fit are fine. Phonic have packed in loads of controls, inputs and outputs into a rack mountable mixer so initially it's all a bit bewildering and it takes time to find your way around - but it's worth it! Value: It's well worth the money being asked today (Sept 2009) Manufacturer Support: Before purchase I contacted Phonic to find whether my Centrino laptop spec was Ok with this mixer.They just quoted the spec minimum - Pentium 4 etc. So no help there. It works fin3 anyway The Wow Factor: It's an impressive looking mixer and very function-rich Overall: This seems to do virtually everything I want recording-wise ! I can use it with my band at live gigs and at my modest home studio
