We bought this to replace our Behringer 1204fx mixer as we needed more channels.
The features on this Mackie mixer are great.
Excellent fx selection, routing, metering and outputs.
The faders and control knobs feel of a much higher quality than the Behringer and there's noticeably less overall "hiss" on everything that is plugged into it.
We bought a padded carry case for it also, which is essential really, as it's quite heavy and there's quite a bit to be damaged potentially otherwise.
Would definitely recommend this mixer for small applications.
