They're okay..I found some info about them after a hard web search. I wouldn't buy one, but there was one here when I came on board.
Midi Mute automation, 8 buses, 4 effects sends, mic, line and tape return inputs, which makes it cool for transferring from analog 8-track into the DAW, I can bring all 8 tracks into the first 8 channels (via the "flip" switch at the top of the channel strip), set levels, send to the buses which are rulered to 0 and patch the buses direct to PT. Of course, if I had the direct outs wired up to the patchbay, or the 8 track for that matter...nevermind.
The EQ section is decent, the mic pre's will get you there, but they hiss noticeably. To get a decent sound out of em, run the channels kinda hot and hit the 2-bus hard. That gets things up above the hiss. It sounds better up there with all the red LED's lit on the L+R meters.
I don't think that I would pay more than $500 for one of these even in MINT condition...
I'll see if I can find more info, cause it's around.
