Overall: Just be careful when you set up the channels. Run the master volume high and the channels a bit lower or else it will peak out. Sounds clear and I like it. It IS a fast recovery power amp inside. The entire mixer weighs less than my drum machine in the case. It doesn't have a huge heavy transformer inside like a Peavey, Mackie or any of the others.

"dont listen to the review about feeback" submitted February 13, 2007

Overall
Musical Background: active musician, audio engineer, recording engineer
Music Style: christian nu metal
Back to Product Information
Overall: i use this with 2 Kustom 2x15 speaker cabs. it sounds awsome!!! i use these for live performances, and if it wasnt for the stereo input, i couldn't also use these as an alternate sound source for video games and playing cd's and mp3's through this system. and mixers dont cause feedback. it happens when your mic or instrument pickups are too close to the speakers. it's just a matter of volume and EQ tweaking. it helps to know how to use the equalizer in such ways that the sound "matches the room size".

Overall: our church purchased this 3 or 4 years ago. We used it for our outdoor and portable sound and it worked well. Then out of the blue the power supply dies. I had it fixed 3 times and now have to replace 2 boards to ensure the repair. $300. This has not been abused and if I have to repair it again I will just buy some other amp.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: I bought one of these units. The features are all fairly typical except this unit has a compression limiter that cuts and distorts the signal if you drive it to hard. Look...I am a single acoustic guitar player that uses a Boss 880 drum machine and a Digitech vocal harmoniser. This unit just cant handle that much input. All you can do to remedy the problem is turn the sound way down, OR cut the Eq and quality of the sound way below what sounds good. This unit has what they call a fast recovery amp system in it. That means there is no power transformer that builds up the power for hard surges like a kick drum signal. It cycles the sound quickly but VERY POORLY. If need backbone FOR EVEN A SINGLE OR A DUO.....this is not the product to purchase.When you order a powered mixer, check the weight of the unit. If it is very lightweight, you can bet its fast recovery and it won't work very good. Look for a 35 pound + mixer, or check the specs before you buy.PLAN TO DUMP THIS AS FAST AS I CAN.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
