[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 130077, member: 67"] Re: Can we make this the QU Thread? I heard a "value" mixer in very good hands recently. Good enough mixing that I think I actually heard the "value". Not disappointing or unpleasant but more the sonic signature of the design/build to a price point that leaves little room. As JR has pointed out before, the entry level sounds a lot better than it used to, and the componentry it takes to do that is largely commoditized; it's feature set and ergonomics that differentiate in contemporary markets. My observation has been that withing a given price class of mixer they tend to have similar "sound" until you overload something or twist the EQ knobs... and the way a desk responds to the user's desires or intentions pretty much define that user's opinion. In the "straight wire with gain" mode, there *shouldn't* be much in the way of audible differences. Where SWWG differences are most apparent are when you jump between price classes. [/QUOTE]
