Fantastic Mixer

| Review By: Dan Holmes | 4 weeks, 1 day ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

this mixer is fantastic, easy to use, and so versitale. I have a 4 piece cover band and we put all four mics, the guitar, and the bass through and this mixer can handle all that and more! I also love how everything is labled and even if you're not tech savy, you can still figure it out. it's also nice that it's powered!

Quality:

this thing is durable. my band uses it at least 4 times a month for shows

Value:

this is a good value because you also have all the built in effects

Overall:

If my band ever breaks up, I'll buy this mixer for myself

2 years of dependability

I have used this mixer for constant rehearsal and 4 or 5 gigs a month for about 2 years and had no problems whatsoever. I am selling it now only because I am working on a different project that requires far fewer channels. If the features fit your needs, it will work well. Personally, I would have liked one or two more aux busses to accomodate multitrack live recordings but thats typically a feature of bigger desks. Mackies are built well as they always have been. Not the most progressive designs but they sound great and are extremely durable (I also beat one of their powered boxes to death for years and it never failed). I REALLY enjoy the mic preamps here as well. Mixer companies can be frustratingly vague about which products use which preamps but look into it, it makes a serious difference. I have A/B'd the CFX16 with a PROFX12 and this sounds a LOT better at least from the mics, great clarity and headroom. As a side note, the road ready case for this mixer is well worth it, 16 channels is too big to huck around on its own.

Unbelievable!!

I just got this thing a few days ago. All I can say is "unbelievable!" Although, for some reason, I didn't get a user manual I was up and running in no time because the layout is so well done. I use it for my home studio and what a difference from my old dinosaur board. The onboard effects are amazing and the stereo "image" they produce is unreal. Crystal clear audio. The controls are spot on and sensitive so I get the exact sound I'm looking for. Mackie, JOB WELL DONE!!!

great mixer

I've been using this mixer for 5 years now and has always performed flawlessly. It's been used for gigs and in my home studio without ever having issues.  The only minor problem was the gooseneck light input stopped working but was past the warranty and wasn't necessary to fix at the time.  It's powered by a QSC 1450 for mains, Crown 402 for monitors. The power is conditioned by a Furman PL8II and has a BBE 482 maximizer, DBX 231 EQ for help in sound control.  Amazing control for every situation and am still messing around with more options.  Way to go Mackie.  Looking forward to the new Powered mixers debut to happen so I can purchase one for smaller venues.  Thanks.
