I’m using this to sum up and record a handful of synthesisers. It’s dead quiet and built like a tank. I wish it had a mono switch and the possibility turn off the monitor output (to prevent loud spikes when turning off power). Also a headphone preamp would have been nice. I added these features by purchasing the mc-3, which made it almost as expensive as the kl-8 (which has the features built in). But the compact size of this unit makes it better fit my needs as it doesn’t claim too much of my very limited desk space.
The plastic part of power cord holder was broken on arrival, not a big deal to me but but a dent to my first impression of quality.
Compared to other cheaper mixers I have tried, this one is much more quiet and has superior build quality.
