I bought the big knob thinking I'd just try it out for a while and then end up putting it on ebay... But after a month of having this thing at my finger tips, there's no way you could pry it away from... read more [+] me.

Makes A/B-ing mixes and monitors so simple. With three monitor outputs, I set up two sets of studio monitors and then routed one output to my home stereo. No more burning CD's to check mixes in another room! The time it has saved me has more than paid for itself already.

It's built like a tank, doesn't seem to color the sound at all and has more inputs than I can find uses for.

Be prepared to shell out some extra money for cables to hook the big knob up though. That's a LOT of inputs. close [-]

The headphone amps in this little guy kill buy the way. also, to all you guys complaining about the talk-back button, read the directions, you are pushing the wrong button and or have it wired incorrectly. This isn't an issue if you use the "talk-back to phones" button. close [-]
