I bought this mixer to support live streaming in a high school environment. I typically configure this mixer for a stereo pair to one or more groups including concert band, jazz band, and choir. I chose this mixer for two reasons, it's inexpensive and it has 48+ phantom power for condenser microphones. I output from XLR to USB to OBS on a laptop. I also use the aux send when there is a house PA system. This allows me to capture announcements as well as performances.
My biggest concern was sound quality. When configured properly, the channels are clean. There's not much headroom (volume level above nominal without distortion) on these pre-amps but I would expect that from a mixer at this price range. When I first started using the mixer, channel 7 and 8 have noise when using the slider. That issue has resolved itself as the channels are quiet now.
The power supply connection is not standard. It has a three pin connector with a screw on type outer lock. The transformer is inline like a laptop. I think this is done to keep the profile short. The advantage is that it won't fall out if accidentally pulled. However, the disadvantage is if it breaks or fails, getting a replacement may be more difficult than usual.
The mixer arrived undamaged and with an instruction book. The book is a tough read so I don't recommend it for beginners. Don't buy the mixer for the built-in effects because they are cheesy. Reminds me of the old "bucket brigade" effects devices (Google it).
The USB connection and Bluetooth is input/play only and won't send output to a computer/DAW, etc.
The channel EQs are unforgiving when using additive DB. I could only get up to +3 before the sound started distorting in that EQ range. Subtractive EQ was fine (going to minus DB).
Overall, a good value for mixer. I wouldn't recommend this mixer beyond a PA or stream device. Upgrade to something better for recording or live music.

Pros: Sounds great and has 8 xlr or 1/4 inputs. Offers aux mix for monitors. Has all the basics to live mix a band with a clean sound. Bluetooth and eq settings work well. Xlr output to main speakers is a plus. Great value.

Cons: no case, I would have paid more or bought one if available. Not a particularly road worthy design"¦ need to handle/use with care. The built in effect processor is a bit generic sounding and has limited usefulness.

Great for a band on a budget that plays out occasionally or for in home rehearsal use. Outputs for recording would be limited to stereo.

Good "¦"¦ for the price

I would not have believed something this quality existed in this price range. Don't get me wrong, all the knobs and such feel pretty cheap, but every single feature worked right out of the box. I think as long as I'm careful with it, everything is going to keep working for a long time. The bluetooth functionality was also really easy to dial in and get working. This is a perfect option for mixing a live band, especially if you don't have to move it around too often. I feel like this board could break if you tried taking it on the road or something.

Portable and light weight mixer!
