Critic Reviews

Magnificent Seven (RM Apr 93)

muzines.co.uk

The Studiomaster P7 is a versatile in-line mixer that balances solid sound quality with a host of useful features, making it a strong contender in its price range. Its expandability and MIDI muting system add to its appeal, especially for those looking to integrate modern recording techniques. However, the mixer suffers from some design flaws, such as congested graphics and a somewhat generic aesthetic that fails to distinguish it from similar models. While it delivers good audio performance, the lack of dedicated EQ on the monitor section may be a drawback for some users. Overall, the P7 combines practicality with decent audio fidelity, but potential buyers should weigh its aesthetic shortcomings against its functional benefits.
