Rackmount Console is using the brackets supplied.

6 XLR inputs, 4 balanced mono Jack, Jack 4x2 for stereo inputs
2 x XLR

USB interface for the game, we stopped at two tracks in Master and 16bits/48k (check)

The architecture is a bit strange and I have not yet fully understood on the internal routing but I come back ...

3-band equalizer on each slice, 7 bands on the master output / Monitoring

An effects section is integrated with three independent elements:
- Processor stereo assignable to main mix
- Assignable effects processor for each standard on a bus that is fed back effects master
- Processor "vocal removal" on stereo tracks
- A compressor for every single

UTILIZATION

On paper, everything seemed simple, but once you start trying to understand how signals are routed, everything becomes complicated.

According to the tranche selected, routing different and unlike my old Eurorack MX2004, I lack the features such as PFL / Solo on the control-room

Ergonomics access effects engine is seriously reviewing frustrating but after a few tries, it works better ...

SOUNDS

When lighting console, I feared having to return it directly because of "beeps" were present on the headphone ... then after watching a bit and cut effects processor in the main mix (nothing to inject), everything started to get better ... much better ...

The headphone amplifier contains the breath I do not find in the records on the computer then, phew, but sometimes it's tiring.

Unlike other reviews, the compressors are highly usable and compensate for a lack studiste a home on a shoestring budget.
The equalizer output is quite "violent" so use sparingly.

I have not tested the function of détectaion feedback built into the equalizer output since I have not done live with this console.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this mixer for 2 days.

I used several years various consoles, from the same brand that I met on the whole, and also other brands (Yamaha, Mackie, Alesis, soundcraft) with different aspects and I was less convinced, needing a simple audio interface but allowing me to make some decision at home, I opted for the simplicity.

I really appreciate the all-integrated and its immediate recognition Linux sister, but I regret the loss of ergonomics, the absence of PFL, the solo and the selection of sources for output monitoring.

The value is correct, given the plethora of integrated tools. I'm not sure the same choice again if the occasion re-presented. I wanted to start taking the X1204USB who was out and I turned on it to get it faster.
