Signature 12MTK : ganz gut, aber

Ich habe das schon mal in englisch für ein Forum verfasst, daher lasse ich es einfach so auch hier:

It is a great mixer. 3 pre/post aux (mono), 1 subgroup (or 2 mono). Nice faders. Wobbly knobs. Great gain range. Pre-Amps a bit on the ?warm? side. ?British? EQ is to my taste. Effects are usable (2 parameters adjustable). Sounds good. So that?s a bargain.

The USB interface is pre-fader/pre-EQ/post-amp and allows to make an insert via your DAW for all channels. That?s neat.

The record levels do not match, though. I need to push output levels of all mono channels by 7.5dB and stereo by 12dB in the DAW to achieve a seemless integration. I do not understand what the engineers thought there?!

Latency is 2.7ms on my system (Linux, JACK, 48kHz/24bit/128 samples).

When working with the DAW you need 1 stereo output for the DAW master and that cannot be put directly onto the 12MTK master fader (another inexplicable engineering decission) - so that blocks 1 stereo channel.

This device allows you to jam making use of sends and groups without computer and to record or use a DAW plugin as insert it takes minimal effort to do so.

It just has some inexplicable technical caveats and some very weak knobs.
