Soundcraft for sound quality..for reliability - Mackie

[bats828]

hi again. malayo ba yung sound quality ng soundcraft sa mackie? kasi i think importanti yung reliability. kung konti lang difference ng sound quality, i think i would go for mackie.

[BALDO]

hindi naman nagkakalayo pero mas maganda ang tunog ng Soundcraft..pero kung importante reliability sa iyo..Mackie na kunin mo, they are built like a tank ika nga..

[bats828]

pero ikaw anong mas pipiliin mo soundcraft or mackie?  meron ka bang units of these two brands?

kung ako... SOUNDCRAFT... kaso yamaha gamit ko eh. But i rather choose soundcraft over mackie....

[BALDO]

yes i have the mackie mixer, control universal pro/extender and big knob.. sa mixer yun lang kaya ng budget hehehe.. but believe me i dropped my mackie mixer 2x from a height of  2 ft. still working hehehe..

In terms of build quality, talagang matibay ang Mackie, chasis nya is solid, but with regards to the thread, here's my choice, Soundcraft, Yamaha, Mackie, that's my choice.

Sound talagang malinis at crisp ang binubuga ng Soundcraft, Mackie naman matibay, pero for me, manipis masyado yung sound, and para lumabas ung tunog kelangan ibuka mo ng mga 12 o clock pataas ung gain nya, Yamaha naman managed to get maybe half of the sound quality and half of the toughness of Mackie, in one package...

Soundcraft. Crush ko yan eh. Mas maganda pa lalo yung MFXi versions nila. yung mic/stereo channels nila are not on one big board; hiwalay talaga. so kung sira yung isang strip, di kelangan tanggalin buong board bago maayos. yung isang strip lang.

Hi, I have a band rehearsal studio in Makati.  We use Soundcraft and Mackie. THey are both good but I like Mackie more.

china na daw made ang soundcraft,,, ang makie san gawa?

[densmodina]

mackie i think is Thailand made

ease of use and sibilance - Mackie
Fat sound, natural lows - Soundcraft

Durability... well mackie had mine since 1998 used it on the road for so many times... never clipped, never broke down still performs at par... had a soundcraft live 4 before sold it but retained the mackie 24

Buy the stand alone mixers if budget allows  not the ones with built in fx... in case the unit breaks down hindi hagip ung circuitry nung fx mo...
