Nice Mixer

I have not used it enough to provide an honest rating. However, with the limited number of times I have used it, I love the features and and the design.

Excellent mixer

This baby is bad. It boasts 4 channels, 4 band graphic eq, pre amp, 6 sound effects and echo. I like the way it lights up with the pretty blue lights. It looks awesome at night. On most mixers only the channel level meter lights up. This baby has led lights in all the channel volume slider slots. This helps you to see the slider bars on each channel in a dark location.

I like the xlr outputs on the rear. They are what I use to hook it up to a Mr DJ DJA3000, 3000 watt amp that I also purchased from Sonic. I was using a pair of Yahama NS A-575 140 watt speakers which can't handle the power, so I upgraded to a pair of PSD-3000 dual 15s from Sonic. Because I can now crank up the volume big time, I was able to discover that the sound from channel 2 on the amp was significantly lower than channel 1, when they are both turned up to the same level.

I called Sonic and they said I will have to return it for repair or replacement because I had it for over 2 months. I wanted to purchase a new one and have them refund me when they receive the defective one I'm sending back, but that can't work because of the length of time I have had it. I need music to blow the roof off the house on my birthday in february.

I don't believe it will be repaired and returned to me for my birthday on February 13th, so I ordered a Gemini XGA-5000, 5000 watt amp to ensure that I can blow out my neighbors eardrums all the way from my birthday into Valentine's Day. Yes, that's two days of partying, baby. I made sure I requested those two days off from work. When they repair my 3000 watt amp, I'll just keep it as backup.
