ReviewsFeature:
It does what it says on the tin. Having utility compression on input is useful. And did I mention the great signal routing path? The stereo line ins (9/10 and 11/12) don't have mid Eq, only top and bottom.
Quality:
Seems solid. Unfortunately, the default Windows USB audio device driver doesn't work with this device; sound comes out totally garbled.
Value:
Get the MW12C. The effects are not worth the $30 extra.
Desirability:
It's OK.
Sound:
There's a bit of noise, but not too terrible. The signal routing is great for this price class, with two independent stereo buses plus the USB I/O. The effects, however, aren't really useful. They sound like a hold-over from the first cheap digital effect boxes from 1985. I much prefer the effects in VST.
Ease of Use:
Really nothing to complain about. Some of the buttons are a little hard to tell whether they're in or out.
Support:
I tried getting a fix for the USB audio device problem on the web site, but they only have an update for ASIO/KS.
Overall:
I got this because it was the cheapest mixer I could get with two independent busses and reasonable Mic pres. It does just fine for that.
