    Great product. I would suggest, though, that a careful read of the manual is essential to ensure that all the required features needed for your mixing environment are met before purchasing. This unit is perfectly suited to my needs and I cannot fault the product. Notably useful to me are the line-level inputs, Bluetooth and SD card features. (Note the 32GB limit on the SD card though!) It works well with PreSonus Studio One providing a good multi-channel recording environment.
