I'm a professional studio and sound engineer, and I do realize this board is extremely inexpensive. The reviews all seem extremely favorable here, which seemed suspect to me. I was so curious that I just had to get one and try it out. I am offering my perspective here, in case someone is actually thinking about replacing their main board, or some such critical thing of an actual gigging outfit, with this.In summary, I found the board does *most* of the things it says it does (not everything). It is attractive, feels pretty well-built and is extremely portable. But you will hear and feel its cheapness in pretty much every aspect of operation.The good:-Inexpensive as heck-Extremely compact & light-Has LOTS of features, many of which I won't enumerate since they are fairly well indicated in the above photos/ description-A few onboard FX presets that are reasonably useful*-Very power efficient-Selectable phantom power switches per channel-Preamps with XLR/TRS combo jacks on every channel-Well-planned power supply input and power switch location-Well-planned jack locations-XLR or TRS output jacks-Reasonable noise floor levels for a live band or DJ situationThe bad:If you are accustomed to classic analog mixing boards, such as those made by Mackie, Behringer, or Yamaha over the past 25 years, you will probably take notice of a number of things:-Poor preamps-No mute buttons per channel (despite being advertised as having this)-No solo buttons per channel-No tape in / tape out RCA jacks-No Aux bus returns, only sends-No inserts (Despite the manual saying it can do this)-Cheap jacks (some of my XLR cables got jammed, took some serious effort to get them in and out. Perhaps they would be better broken-in)-Cheap knobs-User manual is indecipherable (due to strange language, looks like poorly attempted english? the worst I've seen, which is saying a lot)Other things to know:-Using the FX select knob to select a different effect will probably make you angry, plan to do this as little as possible.-perplexing FX parameter adjustment-The bluetooth/USB playback ties up channel #4, in case that isn't clear. But it is easily switched so, you could technically still use it as an analog input channel.-Bluetooth audio input has no pin or security, so if you don't have your own device paired, it is open-season.PreampsUsed an SM58 as a test mic. I had to crank the preamp trim basically all the way up to get enough gain for a usable signal. In this region, it behaved extremely non-linearly, and there was audible noise and performance degradation from the preamp. I don't consider an SM58 to be a particularly gain-thirsty mic, so I can't even imagine trying to use this with something like an SM7. Using with a line-level source, such as a computer or a keyboard output, presented plenty of signal with no problem whatsoever. A lot of people seem to use wireless mics which have their own preamps, and I'm guessing that would similarly not present as much of an issue.*FXThere are many, MANY FX presets. Neat - but most of them are completely unusable for a normal band. I was able to find a few. The FX controls are strange and not very well (or completely incorrectly) documented. Each channel has Aux2/FX send knob, which is fine. The "Parameter" knob is a rotary select knob for selecting a certain FX preset by number. But the encoder is total garbage and skips like crazy, so I was in for a fight to get to the number I wanted. There is a single "Effect" knob which appears to be the FX return level, fine. There is a "Program" knob, the function of which seemed to mystify me. It may be dependent on the preset you are using? Not totally sure about this. It almost seemed to be a feedback adjustment in the case of delay preset, but I couldn't quite convince myself that was all that was happening. This control is beyond me, as apparently the manual which seems to suggests "Program" selects the FX preset select (which is clearly not true, as there are no detents and it acts like a pot, not an encoder). It also says it "can be used to adjust the volume of audio playback from a computer" which I assume is referring to the USB interface functionality, which I didn't test.To summarize, I don't think it's a rip-off, but don't expect a miracle. It might be good as a rehearsal board or for a fun party, but I just don't feel something like this is going to make it on the job.EDIT:After I posted this review, XTUGA reached out to me with some EXCELLENT customer service. For that reason alone, I will consider other XTUGA products.

I’m a artist & use the mixer for gigs. I need to re read the instructions.I’m not sure if you can use all the outports/channels at the same time,or it’s just one or the other (XLR or quarter inch). Using one channel for speakers has worked out fine.I love having all the mic lines/channels. That definitely came in hand. When using a bunch of mic’s & plugging in instruments. The Bluetooth function is also great. Having the ability to work the level instead of just the volume is an awesome function. I haven’t had any issues (“knock on wood “). I try to keep the mixer covered & protected when it’s in use. I also keep it out of the sun when using it. I also like the look & the screen is easy to read & is clear.

Definiría esta consola como versátil al tener sus entradas en combo trs y xlr mas sumado el power phantom en cada canal abre un mundo de posibilidades, es totalmente metalica se ve que va a durar mucho, algo a mejorar es su adaptador de corriente se ve muy frágil y de mala calidad pero esto el tiempo lo dira.

Recibí el mixer y estoy muy satisfecho con el producto ! superó mis expectativas. El mixer me permite tener un gran control sobre el sonido. Los dos auxiliares son ideales para mi.
