"Yamaha Rules!!!"

Feature:
I got the mic stand adaptor to place the mixer at arms length for gigs. Worked perfectly. I also got the roller bags, no more back strain going to and from gigs.

Value:
The best money I've spent on gear in 10 years.

Desirability:
Like I mentioned, other musicians were complimentary about our sound quality. Two even said they want the system.

Sound:
Great quality sound. Crisp, clear highs and tight punchy, not muddy lows. I was actually surprised at how much bass this could push.

Ease of Use:
This is completely portable and easy to operate. We had a group of other musicians in the room when we performed with this. They noted the purity of the sound in the back of the room filled with over 200 guests. We were in and set up in under 20 minutes w/2 guitars, 2 keyborads, 2 vocal mics, bass and drum machine. Never easier.

Support:
Only while researching the features of the product. I had technical questions about monitors (get the MSR 100s). You can chain them together and even add a powered sub via the monitor channel. Very flexible.

Overall:
Perfectly transportable, Yamaha quality sound/durability and reasonably priced...what more could you want?
