IT'S A VERSATILE MIXING CONSOLE , I FIRST BOUGHT IT LAST 2005 IT'S BEEN ONE OF MY FRONTLINE EQUIPMENT TOGETHER W/ MY 2 QSC RMX 1450 AMPs & my 4 wharfdale EVP X 15 PRO, IT SOUNDS AWESOME!! EVERYONE TRIES TO COPY MY SET UP. TIP: ALWAYS CALIBRATE YOUR VU METER TO PREVENT CLIPPING & IT WILL PROVIDE YOU W/ GREAT SOUND ALL THE TIME. THE DOWNSIDE IS THE SLIDES SO ALWAYS TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM. MANNY
