...As a Music Production Student, I'm looking for the best "spec vs price" with a little durability lobbed in! ************************************************************* Ok, you're picky, brilliant. What inputs are available to me? ************************************************************* Well, this desk is (effectively) an 8-channel mixer with 2 subgroups. It has 2 main outs, 2 control room outs and 2 subgroup outs. In the breakdown, this desk gives you: 4 mono instrument/mic channels, each with its own "Invisible Mic Preamp". You can plug in mic cables (XLR) or instrument cables (1/4 Jack). Each channel has it's own Gain control and "lo-cut" switch. This cuts 18db at 75Hz for those noisy, humming guitars! The other channels are stereo, so although it's an "8 channel" mixer, the last four are stereo-d to 2 channels... Read review

Thinking that my keyboard has an on-board sampler, and the mixer has three input channels, then I figured it would be much better value to just buy the 626 and spend the other £50 on vinyl and another link cable, so I could hook up the keyboard. Each channel has a line or phono input, changable by way of a Single Pole Double Throw switch on the face of the unit. The inputs are easy to connect up and have a nice snug feel to them...
