«  Good stuff for live »

Published on 10/27/12 at 01:00
Value For Money : Excellent
8 XLR inputs, 2 instrument inputs with high impedance jack.
I bought the card with ADAT to connect with 01V96V2.
48V compressor pad and low cut on each slice.
Model 19 "rack 1U.

UTILIZATION

The usage is very simple for what I done, ie the concert.
Me that adds 8 mic inputs on my 01V.

SOUND QUALITY

There is a good sound quality, but I would go for a slightly lower quality than that of the Yamaha preamps. The Focusrite gives some brightness in the midrange treble that was not the 01V96.
I still uses often voices.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years and a half.
I have not had other models to compare.
Pros: good quality for the live, rather low price, space (1U), many options in installments.
The -: Preamps a little too bright on beug Pads (No sound when I put line level!).
Very good quality / price ratio.
Yes, I'm very happy.
