Comments about American Audio QD5Mk201 Two Channel Mixer:
the look is sleek, the fuctions are adaquate, for me worth the price. i just got the mixer about 3 weeks ago so well see how long it lasts, the cross fader seems like its loose because it has barely any grab.

Comments about American Audio QD5Mk201 Two Channel Mixer:
This is a really excellent mixer for the price, with HUGE flexibility. Crossfader curve control, curve control for the upfaders, reverse switch for the crossfader, and would you believe? Reverse switches for the upfaders too! (so up is volume off, moving down increases volume when reverse is enabled). Kill switches for the bass, mid, and treble, balanced XLR mains out, and a few other things I probably can't remember off the top of my head. Oh yeah, and an excellent optical crossfader. Upfaders and crossfader are light to the touch, and have very good response. This is an excellent mixer :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
