I was using a Mackie DFX-12 for our weekly open mic when it abruptly stopped outputting. Fearing it was dead, I upgraded to this unit, having previously bought its big brother the FX16i. The Mackie was repaired at a reasonable cost, but I was so happy with the Soundcraft that I sold the Mackie to a friend who still uses and loves it. The Mackie is good, but the Soundcraft is a cut above. This one has become our open mic workhorse, and I continue to marvel at its features and performance. Eight discrete XLR mic channels. DB preamps. Lexicon effects onboard. Sweepable mid EQ. PFL solo switches to check channel levels without messing with the mix. I do miss having a master Aux 1 for controlling all the monitor feeds as a bus, but it's a small task to set each channel independently. It's a little weird to have the power switch under the chassis, where the AC cable also docks, but you'll never accidentally turn it off. The bare metal box seems untrimmed compared to the Mackie's soft edges, but I guess it's usually rack-mounted. I made a pair of cherry-wood "ears" for it (and the big one as well), so it has an old-school console look. Great features, awesome quality, just the right price point. A cut above the other small-format rigs.Read full review

Great mixer! Great value! Not a sound engineer, just a drummer w/ no mixing experience. Was easy to set up and use. Lexicon Onboard effects are awesome!
