Outdated

The equipment is out dated. Still uses the old USB-B connection to connect to computer. Im new to this type of equipment and there is very little support on how to connect and use the device on the computer. The software to run the device no longer exists. Would return if I could to buy a more modern piece. Other than that, it seems like a fine piece of equipment for year 2008.

For the price you get a lot features. I would say the pros are great sound quality and good volume control. My main complaint is the lack of multi-track over USB and my unit has a slight tick in the internal cooling fan. The fan is inaudible at a live event, but in a studio it is noticeable. Overall, a very happy customer!

Pros: Sound quality Knobs and slider feel Volume

Cons: Computer connectivity is lack luster.

Now we are talking. The Yamaha mixer improved the mic pickup tremendously. The "on" button is a must when you have multiple mics running but need a quick way to suppress someone. The layout is clean and easy.

Pros: "On" button, sensitivity, layout.

Cons: Volume sliders could use a little better quality build.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
