Gene,
the faders are 11.5 cm long, they go on forever and there is almost no resistance on them, they are sooo smooth.
Havent tried the rotary pots yet waiting for them to get here but i think i will prefer them but its nice to have the options.
As for early impressions, the headphone amp is crystal clear and really powerful a releif after going deaf listening to distortion on my old board, cue section is also very good, though it doesnt do split cueing, you can cue all four channels just by hitting the cue buttons.
The eq is a little tricky, as are the effects in that you really have to watch your gain as you make adjustments, tweaking any of the frequencies makes a significant difference in sound levels the mixer is fairly easy to clip. The effects though are great and very useable. i will have fun playing with them because they can be as subtle or in your face as you want, they really are that controllable.
I am still getting used to the parametric sweep on the mids, for all you eq killa fans out there -- is this the same principle that the eq killer works on?
the high/ low pass band/notch filters are a little tricky to use with a full signal as the make a radical difference to the signal that is just not smooth enough for use on your live channel.
Strangely i find the sound is so clean that i can get away with blending channels using very lttle eg. I was much more heavy handed with my other mixer and for a very good reason. it seems this is unnessecary here in most instances? Anyone noticed this with their mixer? is it just a quality thing?
Sound quality. wow.
i havent hooked up the spdif digital record output, but have been running off the booth monitor channel because the spdif requires the master 2 volume be cranked and thats the one the runs the master 2 rca outs. Master one uses xlr jacks and i havent got a set yet, anyone know if you can do xlr to rca?
Anyways back to sound and recording -- crystal, i am hearing stuff during playback that i have never heard before. I am pulling out voices and other sounds. I am also hearing a punch from my system that simply wasnt there before. suffice it to say that i am well chuffed.
As i said before we cranked it on a PA beside a 600, and there was a very audible sound difference.
anyways enough blather
