Frequently Asked Questions
The mic preamp is decent for basic vocals or acoustic instruments, but don’t expect studio-quality performance – it's best for adding vocals to keyboard parts.
It’s manageable as a monitor, but the limited EQ makes it harder to dial in for multiple instruments without feedback.
The master EQ offers broad adjustments – bass, mid, treble – rather than precise frequency shaping, but it’s enough for basic tone tweaks.
