Seems well made, but I'm mounting it in a road rack so it can't move around during transport
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
Two effects on-board is cool. Compression on 6 channels helps a lot. Lots of watts makes it work better than expected. Routing options well thought out.

This mixer has a lot of features, but it's no more complicated than similar mixers from other manufactures.
Sound
How is the tone?
Mackie knows how we like things to sound - this sounds good right out of the box, and with a little tweaking, it's exceptional. Better than expected.

We have used it once, the Forum at Mackie a few people had problems with this. So I hope it does not crap out on us. I chose this over Yamaha EMX5016cf, hope it was a good choice, since I had no issues at all with Yam 5000-12 and 3000.

I think that amp and mixer as a unit is a plus but in less than a year I have had four or this machines each one. All of them died on me doing shows. Mackie honored the warranty but I have lost gig due to this equip
