I have been playing for thirty years, had Mackie, Tapco, Behringer, Peavey, EV, Shure, Etc.. I now use a Yamaha Mg12 with built in effects. So easy to use, i like the slide volume control versus the knob. Built in effects are great. I have used this mixer with an array of EV SX300 with subs and now with Bose L1 Systems. Best, cleanest sound i have ever used or heard. Mackie would be my second choice, but the knobs makes volume fine tuning on the go a little tougher.
