Quality:
One little gripe regarding the user interface. On the unit I have the L and R screenprint on each channel's pan controls are backwards; as is the 1 and 10 level indications on the aux sends. Perhaps the printer just had a bad day. It took me 4 weeks to notice this though, and which point I did a double take! :-) But, this product is built like a tank. Great feeling knobs (except the little pan and aux knobs, which are too small and hard to turn, but I understand they had to save somewhere to get this into one rack space...).

Value:
Well worth the price. If you want a clean, transparent, compact mixer, this is it.

Desirability:
This is not a sexy product. Thank goodness! It does what it's supposed to do, and stays out of the way.

Sound:
I use the Rolls in a guitar rack, where it mixes the stereo outs of a Boogie TriAxes preamp (Rolls channels 2 and 3) and mono out from an Ovation acoustic (Rolls channel 4). A TC Electronic G-Force is blended into the mix via the aux sends and returned to channels 5 and 6. The stereo outs of the Rolls then feed a Boogie Simul-Class:90 power amp. It works quite well in this application. I wanted a compact mixer that added 0 tone to the Boogie gear; one that was completely transparent. And, that's what I got! I love this little mixer. It knows how to stay out of the way.

Support:
Never needed support, so can't comment. I've had the Rolls about 6 months.

Overall:
I'd buy another one if this one were run over by a truck (but, it just might survive). Small size, transparency, mic preamp, and aux sends are why I bought this. If fit my application like a glove. Small aux/pan knobs, incorrect screenprinting on the aux/pan labels are it's minor drawbacks.

Feature:
No complaints here I mean how can you when it all fits in one rack space. THAT amps were found inside which could have been much worse. 2 Auxes would have been great however.

Quality:
Knobs small but workable. Sturdy build for the most part. Case a little weak but when mounted in a rack you could never tell. Overall the mixer is fairly solid.

Value:
For what it does I guess it's worth the money and as well you do get 19 inputs so No complaints here either. Guess thats easy for me to say since i go all three for 150 bucks.

Desirability:
Looks good and works good so I have to say it is a darn good mixer as most of it's competition (Below the price range) doesn't perform nearly as good.

Sound:
Very Clean and just enough headroom to take a mean kick or boom. Very Nice when connecting mulitple units. The MPC1000 sounded very acceptable with agressive sounds within reason as you can clip the mixer but satisfactory indeed. connecting three all at once using the aus return and not a drop of noise.

Ease of Use:
Just setting it in the center detent usually does the trick and if you need a little more just a touch and you arrive at happiness. Pretty self explanitary as I don't have a manual. I also didn't get the power supplies with either of the three. Turns out they use 12vAC 0.33ma instead of DC power. The positive is on the outside. I already had a couple of these that had to have the polarity reversed (cut the cable and wire up backwards)

Support:
Haven't needed any

Feature:
The pan and aux send knobs are really tiny! They work, but they are tiny. The phantom power switch is not a switch. It's a JUMPER hehehehe. Kind of cheesy for Rolls to do that. Otherwise, the mixer is good. I wish it had a stereo aux send, but it's fine for the price.

Quality:
The finish is ok, the printing is kind of grainy in spots. The phantom power jumper is cheap. The tiny knobs are a consideration. I wish there was a cable lock on the power cable! As you might know, this unit uses a wall wart so a cable lock on the power jack would be a plus. Otherwise the unit is fine for the price.

Value:
What else can you get? Behringer has one for $100 but no mic in. Alesis has one for $300 but it's too big. This unit is nearly perfect for price and size.

Desirability:
OK, it could have a little more "finesse". It's nice enough.

Sound:
Very, very clean. Sounds great. No complaints.

Support:
Never had to contact them.

Overall:
It's perfect for me. It solved a buzzing problem I had with my last mixer and it is fine. YES, I would purchase another if this one got stolen etc....

Basically noiseless, plenty of headroom, accepts wide range of signal levels at the inputs, mono input signals automatically shared across stereo channels (no need to split and use a Y-cable).
Could use power switch, either on front or back(you have to physically unplug the unit to turn off the juice to the unit). This is a minor problem, but it's the only one I can think of!
Excellent!

Overall:
I have two moogs, a nord electro, a drum machine, a computer running reason and sonar, and an external motu soundcard. I run eveything through this mixer. It is a small, inexpensive, and perfect solution for my studio. I HIGHLY recommend. The mixer is quiet and the knobs have a solid feel. The only other line mixer I found that I liked was the old Mackie (which is discontinued) but took up too many rack spaces. The alesis and samson mixers had all these effects sends and xlr inputs that i didn't need. The rolls is simply a line mixer, and it gets the job done.

Super quiet! I was quite pleasantly suprised. The little balance and pan knobs could be a little bit better constructed - the indents on the pans are a little shallow and the knobs for both pan and aux are a bit short to grab but since I use it for a keyboard/module mixer I hardly touch them anyway. The Aux send should be stereo though
