Offers a lot of features for the price, though individual components like preamps and converters might only be adequate, not exceptional.

Perfect for home studio
If you are building a home studio and need a moderately priced board that doesn't take up half the room. This (they have other variants channel-wise) is perfect. If a majority of your effects are inboard or already in the software of your editing system (PC, laptop), this mixer fits the bill perfectly. Clean pots, inputs and outputs. Easily designed for headphone and studio monitor set ups. Works just great for my application.
