Signature 12MTK : Planned Obsolescence.

In the past, electronic devices I bought routinely functioned without problems for 5 years or more. I purchased this mixer in June 2020 and have used it exclusively in a home studio. The environment is clean, dry, smoke and pet free. It has never moved from it’s location on my studio desk.

After less than 3 years usage the integrated power supply is now failing! The mixer takes a few minutes to power up and the power supply will soon fail completely. There is also a problem with a channel fader malfunctioning and the leds on the fx section are faulty. This mixer has many great features but it contains electronic circuits/components that are clearly not built to last more than 3 years. Bear in mind when you purchase that you may need to have the mixer serviced/repaired in a couple of years. Maybe buy two so you have another as a backup! Lol
