This item is built like a tank! The unit is made from heavy gauge steel for the case, with hard rubber bumper ends to endure being kicked around on stage. I can't imagine it ever breaking.
The MIDAS preamps sound beautiful, and it is ideal for separating your desk from the stage, off to one side or even at the FOH position.
Indicator lights tell you when it is connected and active, though the need for a separate power cord is a bit of a pain. I used a previous product called a BrikWorm (UK product) which was powered via the ethercon cable, and this was simply brilliant.
Main cable aside though, this unit is really well made, and perfect for the job it is intended for. Remote preamp control and remote phantom power is a good feature, and the unit has 16 inputs and 8 outputs, so there are lots of routing options available.
The unit doesn't get too warm like other products, and is passively cooled, so won't drag in lots of dust and muck through a fan, as it hasn't got one.
Well worth the investment, which is not that much for such a great stage interface.
