What a great digital console! This totally blew my expectations out of the water. The console is designed well, and has a lot of easy access to functions, both on the control screen menus as well as each individual section has a view button to quickly access that specific screen. If you are new to digital consoles, it may take a bit to get used to how things are laid out. Also, Midas recently announced that their warranty is now 10 years, so manufacturer support I rated at 5 stars, even though I haven't needed it yet. The best investment I've made in a long time!
