"This unit is good for simple set-up and start the gig. You won't have to worry about all the other crap. Just plug in and play."

Feature:
No acc.

Quality:
So far the quality is very good. No glitches. I am sure it could be used on the "road" The knobs can be a little difficult to see if it is dark. Just prop it up with an amp "wedge" and you are good to go.

Value:
So far it is a great value. For 8 channels you could buy something else, but you will pay a few hundred $$ more for it.

Desirability:
Who cares, it works.

Sound:
Sounds very nice with Peavey PR12's. It works fine so far with a 3 piece band. The sound seems to be consistent, although a bit of a learning curve.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to set-up and gig. Just follow the directions and you can bi-amp to do a monitor set-up. Very easy. You don't seem to lose too much signal at 500 Watts per side. I always have a problem getting good delay and reverb on manual units. This one does it all for you, and this is fine with me. One less thing to worry about.

Support:
Have not had to call them!

Overall:
I hope it holds out. I have blown out PA's before, so I don't want to go thru that again.

Feature:
Self contained, cover, carry strap, color coded simplicity. Great for gigging and on the fly adjustments.

Quality:
I haven't had this long so time will tell how it will hold up but the cost of the unit and the fit and finish, metal work, plastic case, heck even the stickers are cool. Made in China is always a question but if I wanted one made in USA I would have to spend a heck of a lot more. Other than Carvin, who mass produces powered mixers in the US?

Value:
Lots of quiet power for the money and very attractive package too.

Desirability:
Its cool looking and the astehtic of the desgign is very pleasing.

Sound:
Quiet and powerful. Full sound with JBL srx 15 ludspeakers.

Ease of Use:
Piece of cake. Sure it does not have all the bells and whistles some may want but it does what I want well--ease of setup, ease of operation and great sound.

Support:
No comment as the unit has been trouble free. Having read other reviews, support appears to be a strong point in the event of a problem.

Overall:
I do not expect to replace it unless it breaks.
