I own the 6 channel version and I have used it in a project studio for the last couple of years. I've used it together with a daw (in sort of "tape recorder mode") with 16 ins/outs and I really like it.

The eq is definitely better than Behringer or Mackie, the pres are good, I've never compared it to anything really fancy, though. The aux routing is a little weird with one stereo monitor send and two effect sends per knob. Check it out, I can't explain it just a few words. The listening section is good with a main control room out and an alternative out for multiple listening. There is also a cute soon-to-be anacronism, alignment tones, if you're using a tape recorder, they might be very handy.

I've read about people having problems with the power supply but I've never experienced any. The only limit I've ever felt with this board is not having more pre-fader monitor sends.

I paid 8000 Swedish Kronor (appr. £600, $1100) four years ago and I definitely think it was worth it. I'd probably be cheaper today here in Sweden.

Good luck,
