"Hsssss....."
Connections feel very solid-build, as well as the whole chassis as well..it's like a tank!
ALL the knobs and faders are a bit too wobbly to my taste. But, they're nice and smooth to operate.
I especially like the lid "on"-buttons on each channel, which is also good value for money.
Also good for the money, is all the features this board has to offer! You have 10 channels with gain-control, and 6 channels with controllable compression! Also, you have triggerable 80hz highpass filter on 12 channels!!!
Sound quality is warm, yet bright enough to my taste. However I'm looking for a decent compressor/gate to go along with this board, because it has a quite high noise level. Stereo out at -7,5, and channel(s) at 0, this board still produces way too much noise (hiss).
Overall this is VERY good bang for the buck! My main complaints are the wobbly build quality for live usage, and the fairly loud hiss-level
