it's ok for just a basic podcast board and to fool around with. it's a peavey md 12x2... no phantom power, but i don't need that anyway. no xlr out, i don't need that anyways. i think it'll be fine for what i need.
thats why i dont buy anything until i touch it, even if i order online, i still check it out at a local store first. and while im at the store, i dont bring enough money to buy anything more than 20 bucks
