M 18 : Great value

This is really a great item. Easy to use and set up. I bought a swissonoc router with it....have not needed it yet. I can walk about 30m from the mixer and its perfect, so hold of on the router until you test the mixer. It is worth reading the manual. The EQ is easy to use both on the main outputs, and the AUX outputs....which is very useful for monitors. you can connect many ipads to it, this is handy if you want an AUX mix on one ipad, and the main mix on another ipad.

Its wort keeping in mind, when you save the settings....they are saved to the mixer, not the ipad. So if you loose ipad simply get another and download the app, and you are ready to go. (This was obvious when i though about it)

The only down side is the cost of the rack mounts....far to expensive, but RCF know you will buy them, as you really have no choice. i am using an ipad with the RCF software, and its easy to navigate. The maximiser, and the HPF are amazing and well worth reading up on. One thing that is very badly needed is a LED light on the front of the unit. There is no light to show you if its on/off. (there is a light on the back, but this is useless if the unit is in a flight case.
