Hey gang,
I just scored an ultra-mint Spirit Folio F1 desk (the JBL rebadged kind) for about $180...roughly $30 per mic pre channel. Just fired it up tonight to try it out for a demo session, and let me say, I am quite impressed indeed. The signal path is *pristine*, not a buzz or a hiss to be found, even wide open. The preamps are giving me noise-free gain right up to the top of the gain pot. Not to mention the fact that they sound lovely to my ears - a little rounded off, in a very musically pleasing way. The EQ seems to do its job well, and this board is SO flexible in i/o and routing - especially for a smaller mixer. 100mm long faders? 3 auxes? Mute and solo on each channel, and solo on the auxes? Light as a feather to boot? Wow. Loving it. I only wish it was twice the size/channels.
I <3 my new Spirit Folio F1. Any other happy users want to share their experiences?
