General : No Opinion
It's a basic 8 channel mixer, nothing fancy. Would be nice to have a headphone level.

Connectivity : No Opinion
FireWire in/out (failed after 10 months).

I/O : No Opinion
Pre amp quality average for price.

Power : No Opinion
Hate the wall wart.

Technical specs : No Opinion
See Phonics web site for specs. (there again, don't waste your time).

Purchased this in Feb 2008 and it has failed twice in less than 12 months.

The first time the effects section failed and it went back for repair. Now the FireWire interface (return from the computer) has failed. Also the right channel output is failing (intermittently), sometimes it is very low and distorted while the left functions correctly. Since new the submix pot has been scratchy and is getting worse (I do not feel like opening it up and using contact cleaner as it may void the warranty - which I very much need).

This is the last time I will send it in for repair, if it fails again I will send it away for re cycling.
