I am in the market for a mixer/interface and was wondering if anyone has this mixer? I have seen a few report online of it being pretty noisy but I am not well versed enough at deciphering if this was a few bad units or just a shitty overall design.
Wondering if anyone owns this and can comment if they have had any issues
I am sure it will come up. Also considering
Mackie onyx 16
Tascam model 16
I am right there with you.
@blipson seems to have one. How is it working for you buddy? Any issues or is it all good?
I’m on my second one. The first one started making a loud clicking/pulsing noise two days before my return-for-refund-no-questions-asked period ended with the vendor. The noise correlated to the delay setting in the FX section, but there was no way to zero it out even if I were willing to live without the onboard FX, which I considered due to the major pain in the ass caused by my shipping and customs situation.
Even having that occasion to reconsider my choice of mixer, I still went with another AR16c because it does do everything I expected and does it well at a good price (when it’s not broken wtf). I’m not aware of it being particularly noisy, but others may have higher standards. I assumed then, that this was a rare bad luck thing from the factory, and I think I’m going to have to pay 20% customs two times over.
