Honestly, I'm pretty amazed. Got it to expand my little home studio capabilities from a small 2 input audio interface to so something that could accommodate a couple of extra instruments, and it kind of surpassed my expectations in more ways than one. To begin with, it's more or less on the price range of most entry level analogue mixers, offering about the same stuff as them (4 XLR ins, 6-8 faders, 8 channels, 1-2 monitor outs, various FX, etc.) but with the extra perk of being a digital mixer as well, meaning being able to control it remotely (up to bluetooth range, like 10m). Let's calculate the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Very user friendly
-Small in size, will easily fit any backpack
-has faders, not rotary knobs
-sleek design
-bluetooth connectivity for remote control
-a very nice screen for the menu, effects, etc, identical to the channel screens on the m32/x32
-bluetooth connectivity for audio input
-EZGain for, well, easy gain on every channel.
XLR out, not Jack or RCA
Cons:
-needs to be connected to the phone to control all parameters. Cannot truly access gain, pan, fx parameters without it.
-micro usb for power supply, which on the one hand is widely available, on the other is a pretty weak and easy to break plug, and anything after 2020 should really have a usb-c connector instead of micro-usb
-phantom power on only the first 2 channels
All in all, for its money i think it's well worth it, personally i have even used it in small events with limited number of inputs needed. It has appeared to be trusty, not lacking anywhere compared to a similarly priced analogue mixer. Certainly not a "1 and only" mixer in your setup, it's still a fine addition for small events, studio use, and as a personal "pre" mixer in a live show (for example with multiple keyboards, etc)
Would buy again
