Went to a show to see friends do 2 sets of Led Zep songs. Small community non profit room holding about 60 people. I guess the house guy 'donated' a new Midas Venice F. The same house guy hurt his back and was a no show.
Coming off a weekend of X 32 shows.
Impressions...
Concentric EQ knob setup is awful. Knobs are too close together for any real ease of adjustment.
6 auxes is amateur stuff.
No VCA's of course.
System needed gain after the console...like most amateur setups I run into.
I had no problems with the sound of the board, and everything seemed to work good.
It had the Gator case similar to the X 32 case.
Overall it seemed a lot less flexible than my normal setup and considering the $3k price plus all the outboard gear needed I feel pretty good about owning the X 32.
