Frequently Asked Questions
The USB interface is generally reliable, but expect some latency, particularly with a full 32-in/32-out setup. Careful buffer size adjustment is crucial for live use.
They're genuinely useful for recalling scenes and automating level changes, particularly for complex setups with multiple monitors or sub-mixes. The precision is a significant advantage.
While improved, the noise floor isn’t as clean as some premium-priced competitors. It's acceptable for most applications, but be mindful of gain staging to minimize noise in quiet passages.
