Amazing Desk
While the O2R96 was updated some while ago I had bought this after using an old O2R for a number of years. The difference was incredible. I have used this O2R96 to record since about 2006 and still use it today. It's one thing using software and 'controllers' in a studio, but there is NOTHING like using a real and decent digital mixer. As the name implies the desk can record at (KHz if you need that, but to be honest 44 is fine and I've never had any complaints.
The mixer does not come originally with I/O boards fitted and those can be expensive - even now! As well as a couple of Lightpipe I/O in there I also have a Dante I/O board that is used with RJ45 and any computer network. Dante have a driver for the PC that costs just $30 and you will be in business fast.
The preamps are incredibly quiet, the routing is basically anything I or O to anywhere else. There are on board effects which work fine but of course lots of auxiliaries so you can add outboard. 8 Bus desk of the highest order.
I won't be selling this any time soon.... a 10/10 rating is the only thing I could ever say about it.
I use mone with an old Mackie SDR hard disk recorder (also 44khz or 96 if you push it) and it has never missed a beat.
