I've had this mixer for 3 years. It's still works just as good as it did when I bought it. I've never had a problem with it.

I purchased this mixer in Feb 08 for home recording and occasional use with my PA.

The effects failed after 3 months and it had to go back to Phonic for repair. The submix pot has always been scratchy and is getting worse, now the firewire interface has failed (no return from computer) and the right output channel has an intermittent failure (sometimes low output and distorted).

If you are looking for a reliable mixer I suggest you look elsewhere. It is going back again for a possible replacement but I don't hold out any hope that it will be any better. I am now forced to buy a new mixer from a more reliable manufacturer.
