Any experience with a PreSonus Mixing Board?

I am looking for a new mixing board and expanding my pa system. Got a recommendation on the PreSonus 16 channel board. Wondering if anyone has ever used one?

Looks great. Built-in effects, 16 mic pres, firewire recording of all tracks individually.

Nope, but I've wanted to try one since it came out.

Mackie's Onyx series of boards sound pretty good, and they have firewire capability as well. You'd still need outboard effects, though.

And the Allen & Heath MixWizard is a great little 16-channel mixer.

If you end up with the PreSonus, let me know how it treats you. It's an expensive mixer, but if it does everything it says it does, it's probably worth it.

i work for allen and heath here in the uk predominantly with the i-live digital range of mixers as a test engineer. The mix wizards are a great line of little mixers but are really aimed at live work. For recording purposes id suggest looking at our zed range of mixers which come with usb or firewire recording interfaces. There is also soon going to be a 24 channel zed mixer called the GSR 24 coming out soon which is a mixture of our old gs recording range of mixer mixed with our zed DAW digital recording technology system. But that wont be out for sale for a while yet as we are just starting to build production test runs after the original prototypes were shown in secret at trade shows a few months ago to international distributors....... but i didnt tell you guys any of this haha
