UTILIZATION

fairly simple config system of listening to headphones not common to get used

SOUNDS

the sound is good, the same level as the allen for me, I was 42, just be a bit better for the UREI.
the equal, this is for me, this table exceeds its allen concurente is filters, cut, chisel. The tracks are mixed well, it's pretty special, I like it. Allen on, I think its not quite cut especially low and high and the eq are too sensitive, barely touched his turns and sometimes eq remains in the hands lol buttons not take too much.
On the affected UREI is more enjoyable with a nice little resistance, the zero on the side but it is special to it quickly and the fact...…

On the affected UREI is more enjoyable with a nice little resistance, the zero on the side but it is special to it quickly and the fact that there is no notch zero point does not interfere too much I found.
No breath but not tested on large system.

OVERALL OPINION

tested a weekend, I will a little fun with me, I prefer the ecler SCLAT, but I like the cross of his UREI allows me a little scratched.
The eq is what would make me want to guarded.
Ideal report, two times less expensive than allen and quality sound and better English eq.

Yes it is rack mountable, for that matter simply unscrew the two sides left and right mix, the reverse screw rack and presto!
4WAY is a club type connectors and are very complete, the master and the return are XLR (neutrik!!) or RCA to choose from.
The equalizer is simply atomic precision of a copy
there is no effect on the table but a very good start / return effect that allows the transplant in the future ...

UTILIZATION

Very simple and very full time, I did not open the manual (in English anyway)

I love the most ... everything was full of jai table before this one and goods more expensive, and this price (459) there is no equal!

- Is the rack?
yes, are provided Querre

it is well daccord is a 3-way! (4th with the microphone, which has a phono preamp as well as a line between, but the EQ's are + - 12 above)
So 4-way phono, 4 lines and INTERESTED, between 4 mic!
feedback effects: no test, but RCA, on top of the table (top!), well located and super well done!
- What is the type of connectors (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)?
Master and booth output XLR or RCA
- The effects section is it intgre? ...
no effect, but send return that looks efficient trs

FYI, the console is 100% analogue (according UREI)
Aesthetics, beautiful, so good, heavy, all aluminum / iron! of the cot, trs trs good! (Do not rely on 3D images available on the net)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
trs simple table is a mix of what?
all hands on, with all the same subtleties trs cool, like a mini headphone eq, which is actually going up or down fairly lightweight (why not), a bass eq / high on the booth (rather well-ca) a high pass filter on the master, but no knob, activnon enabled (not including the interest!)
- The usual functions are they easily accessible?
yes, trs trs clear, large knob EQ enjoyable trs

the knob of the table are top! they look tough, have no game, it reminds them of home Ecler nuo (less plastic)

faders: ngatif point of the table, it does not seem to be super strong, even if they are apprcie long (I do not know the length is more longer than what Pioneer), and the curve is quite exponential (to love, I'm not trs adept, there is no SETTING THE fader curve)
they are quite stiff (not hard either), must love (love, it gives the precision)

cross: yeah to mix (if you use it) ok, to scratch, there goes his way!
if not, are assigned as in pioneer and company, switch A and B and shoo
his curve is adjustable (cut or not)

slecteurs cue and the company: top, nothing wrong, I do not think that there may be worries in time with them has less to mix with a hammer ...

SOUNDS

- The console is transparent?
no, not phono (see below)
- Introduced she breath?
yes, phono (see below)
- The qualiseur is it effective? ...

strong point of the table, the EQ will cut up (if you cut the 3, nothing comes out), the knobs are gniaux and they are good musically trs is limited if not filter ca, trs trs good
again, the point 0 is a 14h, 15min ca request handling, but it's best! more room to play on frquence (roughly, the knob will trs often between 12 and 14h, 11h below, it goes down quickly to cut)
no notch 0

see later on, it's here:

the table is average phono, it swings one breath that if the gain is normal and a master 7 / 10, you can hear it! I find it quite unacceptable, even if once the music starts, we do not hear much more about

otherwise, in line (with a test finalscratch2) is top of the reserve of gain

phono in both, but when even slightly less than in the line (tell me, that's on many tables)

otherwise sound gnrale: this is why I took the UREI 1603, with the reputable including the 1620, 1601 etc. and the level
Therefore, 100% analog, so I think it really makes a lot (not the rane nor the Freevox, of course, it does not Global Warming as ca sound (even a little when) but sounds pretty prcis, although homogne)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
3h
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
the most sound, EQ
minimum: pramp phono faders
- How do you report qualitprix?
This is where I find it INTERESTED, much cheaper than Pioneer & Company, and more
So, if we judge the relative quality price, quickly ... it is extremely excellent, and I do not understand why it is not better known in France

If you do not want to type in Rodec, rane, Freevox, Allen & Heath and Co. ... I believe it was the place to go, especially in view of sound, the quality (apart from fader ) and if you need only 3 way

There are five ways with the 1605 course

other information in bulk:
Trs-trs large table for a 3 way, it's been rather fun
- I think tried to be as objective as possible, Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions
She does not toy with lots of lights, as can be seen on some photos, including 3D)

Is rack?
Yes

How many lanes, bus, auxiliary sends, returns ...)?
See 4, 1 + 1 return booth.

What type of connectors (RCA Jack, XLR ...)?
XLR + RCA on all 4 channels. Track 1 includes more than 6.35 XLR jack for the mic.
Master output XLR + RCA, XLR + RCA booth, back RCA.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
Yes

SOUNDS

No audible breath.
The equalizer is highly efficient, when everything is very can-οο its coming to pass.
The problem is that EQ is not notched about 0dB.

The EQ: +6 dB (12 dB for channel 1) to minus infinity (-12dB for channels 1).

The EQ: +6 dB (12 dB for channel 1) to minus infinity (-12dB for channels 1).

OVERALL OPINION

For now I have not tested all the functions but I can already say that each channel can be either line or phono mic. Lanes 2, 3 and 4 have a selection A or B for the fader position without even allowing it to be always active regardless of the position of the crossfader (it may even help them move from one channel A to B without mute) .
Track 1 is permanent but can be cut (dedicated to DJ's microphone).

The connectors on the back are full XLR or Jack 6.35 for micro and RCA for line.

The booth is very good, it serves me back on the scene already, the volume is adjustable from a dedicated button that ansi bass and treble EQ.

The breakdown:

Well then, I had a big problem with it. While I tinkered in the garage I spent a bit of music. Suddenly a pop-pop-pop-pop-pop ... I immediately think of the burned CD may be dirty or scratched. After 30 minutes has intensified and noise annoys me, I removed the CD and it still sounds. I unplug the 1000MK2 and any other input but it sounds perciste. In addition to seeing all routes and flashes red lights. Retest the next day and after 5 minutes his redéconne. I also notice that the right side of the table is hot, so hot never seen before. I disassembled the top and bottom and reconnects the table. Right I see what needs to be food. After 5 minutes of initiation and the problem becomes clear I hear a small snap at the food. A crack that is in sync with the flashing lights and pop-pop-pop feel in the speakers.

VAS:

The console was purchased from Thomann recently, its gives me an opportunity to test their customer service is a heart to cons anyway. The mailing is done by carrier, and it pays fees Thomann (nan but!). After "beating" to guide the carrier I gave him the package. Approximately one week later I email Thomann for news but I have nothing to say he received ...
2 or 3 weeks after I found a notice from the postman. I'll see on the website under the heading thomann my account and I see a command to 0 € which is the repair of my console and guided to the port to 0 €.
I get the package and then the box is ripped, torn, not even close to Scotch, nah just a piece of plastic by hand and put the bubble wrap was not even given employee of the Post Office has even reported.
Whose fault? Thomann? Soundcraft of the VAS?
Thomann advised me to take good photos of each step of the packaging is what I did. I think there was quite a problem, the kind of power supply cable that disappears, or produced striped back ... the photo are the only possible evidence.

Souffir Good the console, certain buttons are scratched on top, the ends of fader are marked at their base (screwdriver?) And on the corner of the head of a fader is missing altogether from the field. The foam dust is gone. There were 5, 2 large and 3 small, everything disappeared. Work done by Chinese American ...

Apart from that, it works again. And the right side does not heat up at all, which means that the problem was indeed due to food. I hope this is a failure of a component and not a defect on a series.
EDIT: I tested the console and the graphics output of frequency response and EQ. See Test ( http://fsacoustique.xooit.com/t104-Test-Console-Soundcraft-Urei-1603.htm )

EDIT 09/05: Still down! Food (re) ... Grilled Photo alim ( http://fsacoustique.xooit.com/image/48/e/7/5/spm_a0231-e72abc.jpg.htm )
