i will start off by saying that it is a wounderful sounding mixer, but i would expect nothing less from A&H. i use there desk counsels for live sound and they rock. but using the xzone 32 only once and that being in a club it really slanted my opinion on the mixer and the trim pots being on the back was my major beef.
