Feed me AV Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Could any of you guys tell me if you have managed to get your hands on one of these and if it's any good. I'm looking for a digital mixer and this came up and seems a cracking price. I want it for conference work. Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbobuk Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've had a careful look at the literature, and there are a few things that I'd struggle with. First is workflow - there are no 'selected channel' controls - everything you might want to adjust on the selected channel needs to be done through the one 'parameter' knob - and that includes all the dynamics settings, and all the eq settings. Or on screen - but that's a small screen to use for so much functionality. And expandability. 16 channels seems alot, but there's no expansion. The website mentions using more than one mixer for recording, but doesn't suggest that it's possible for live work. If 16 channels is enough, then fine. But there's nowhere to go if you need more.

ChazHS Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Have you looked at the new Behringer digital desk? I'd imagine that will be simmilar(ish) money and has more channels. I believe its the Behringer X32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyP1955 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 My understanding is that the price of the Summit is very close to that of the O1V96. With the exception of the fancy screen, the O1V96 is much more fully featured. There's also the StudioLive16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The Thomann price puts the 01V96 about a third more expensive than the Phonic Summit--but with the known build quality, the plethora of expansion cards to do anything you need and the huge user base, I know I'd spend the extra. The aforementioned Behringer mixer might be a good deal but, at present, it's still not on the market. All that's been shown so far was a semi-working prototype.
