I have not used this exact board, but I know this class of consoles. If this is your first console, its $100 well spent. You will probably outgrow it in a year or so, but it should be a great starter. Just high and low EQ is a bit limiting, but that's OK, just use mic placement more than EQ and you will be fine until you learn the ropes and can make a better decision about a future console purchase.
