Great Little Mixer, May 31, 2010
This review is from: Gtd-Audio 2 x 300Watt 8 Channel Audio Powered Mixer
I've purchased two of these mixers and am happy to see them on Amazon for this great price. I have used this mixer and amp for my son's band and for small DJ gigs for over two years. I've used it to power 15" or 12" mains, and it puts out decent sound for 200 watts/channel. Don't expect to do a large venue without another amp. I haven't had any problems at all with the units. This powered mixer works great for practice in small rooms because there is no fan, hence no fan noise. There is a little hum through the speakers when there is no sound going through the mixer. For this reason, I keep the volume for the individual channels at a fairly low level, and turn up the volumes of the individual input channels. Don't expect a lot from the effects, but you can get a decent echo or reverb. I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat. It is comparable to powered mixers I've used that cost two to five times the price. So if you don't care about having a name brand and obviously these are made in China, for the price it's the best deal around.

Great little Amp/Mixer - for 5 gigs...., September 22, 2010
This review is from: Gtd-Audio 2 x 300Watt 8 Channel Audio Powered Mixer
Just picked one of these up and used it for a gig over the weekend. First off, I've used Peavey Powered Mixers up until this point and was going to get another, but at $499.00 for the Peavey I decided to give this one a try. I couldn't find a ton of information on it, or the company, so I was a little nervous at first until it arrived. Nice surprise here! All the power, no hiss, and incredibly light. This is going to be my road amp for the forseable future. Some may rate it low for the plastic case, cheap feel, etc... I will say that for this price, and for its performace it's a good find...take a chance...you'll probably be as surpised as I am. Let's see if it holds up for a year or two. See follow-up on 6/20/2011.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Gtd-Audio 2 x 300Watt 8 Channel Audio Powered Mixer
Greetings, been playing for money since 1966, just turned 60, I am in 2 acts now..a jazz trio and a jugband. Yeah, I know...this unit should have everything you need to produce a professional sound. The jazz trio has a female singer and a stand up bass player, do you think they want to lug heavy equipt? My guess is this unit weighs about 15lbs!!! Even she carries it!! And 8 channels is plenty for everything we do, and being true stereo, I run the mains on the left out and monitors on the right out. It doesn't get any simpler. The pan control adjusts the signal strength to either. It may not be maximum individual control, but it works great for us! As for effects, really, how many sounds do you need. Reverb and delays are more than adequate. And 14 more efeects as well! If your one of those guys that got to have every last available sample out, then go pay for it.
This unit will pull a night, (smaller venues for sure) quite comfortably. If your work is mainly AC/DC etc, this unit does not have an 11 on the volume knob. The manual claims it has 800 watts output, I do question that. That would be 400 watts RMS, split between right and left or 200 watts RMS, is how I figure they got to that total. That may be abit much, but not much though.
