I've been using this mixer with a 5 piece rock band for a solid year now, playing almost every weekend. This thing is built like a tank. The sound quality coming straight out of the board is very clear and needs only minimal EQing. The XLR outputs are very handy for sending your signal to power amps, but be advised that the Sub output still needs to be crossed over in order to get a clear sound out of your subs. I think the options that are packed into this board are a great value for the money, and I haven't had any problems with them at all. The only issue that I have with this mixer is that you have to almost max out the gain in order to get a good level on your mic channels. The pre-amps are good quality and are crystal clear, but why do I have to turn the gain up to almost max to get a solid signal? On a board that is this packed with bells and whistles I would like a Pan option, the pan knobs are used to send your individual channels to Sub groups where you can then send them to the mains. There is no way to send the signal straight out to the mains and then pan your signal to one side or the other. There are a ton of outputs and options for Monitors and the on-board effects are nice so that I don't have to have my off-board effects unit. All in all it is a great mixer and I would buy one again.

Have gigged with this board for six months and find it to be easy to use, durable and allows a quality mix. Would definitely recommend this to any one.

This mixer is pretty good. My church bought this for our contemporary service for our sound system and everything works. It's great for bands with up to 7 members.

Great Mixer

The man who runs the gospel group that I play in owns this mixer and its good. The only thing that it could have that it don't is a seperate 9 band graphic eq for the monitors. We run SRM 450 active speakers for mains and monitors. Since there is no EQ for the monitors we just daisy chain the monitor from the front of house and use the volume control to give it more volume. The sound is great on it for any venue that we've played in the 8 years I've been in the group
