Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Product is made very well and I have never had a Yamaha product ever let me down. The only regret I have ever had in my 30 years of Stage equipment is the time that I tried something cheaper and different brand. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I can't see adding anything to this board that I might need. This board is really more than I Need but I will never have to buy anything else. This board has plenty of room for me to add more Mics or instruments.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
I didn't have to open the manual until I had wanted to learn other capabilities of this board. Wanted to learn more about the Group 1-4 uses.. There are still things on this board that I could never figure out without the manual but those are more technical than I use.
Sound
How is the tone?
Crisp and clear. No Hums whatsoever.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have used it two years and It doesn't even cross my mind that it might go out. My first Yamaha mixer board went through 15 years for a Gospel group, a rock group and then to me as a solo Artist and I wound up selling it to a Studio. Never once did it fail. Worked as well the day I sold it as the day my parents walked out of the store with it brand new.
