I bought two if these for band rehearsal rooms and so far no bands have had any issues with them. There is plenty of power here for any band line up too, rock, metal, punk, anything. The channels eq's are quite nice too although maybe a little more control over the mids would be nice. The desk is quite intuitive too, any beginner could handle it. I matched this up with thomanns own 300 watt speakers (creative bundle) and the system as a whole is big enough to fill a small hall/venue/bar. Theres a nice little visual feedback control on the graphic eq too which ive never really had to use, but works quite well. All in all, a good desk at this price range.
