"KISS = Keep it Simple Samson"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
I use the S62 to mix 4 mics plus MP3 player in small-medium live venues. I play it through a Dawn Speaker System, the Dawn MI-510 (2-5" satellites plus 1-10" down-firing sub-woofer)
Features
I chose 10 because the features are simple. 5-band graphic equalizer and reverb. I can get the general curve with 5 bands that is right for the room and the desired sound. More than 5 bands and they are still going to take the same general shape.
Ease of Use
Again, very simple design and easy to use.
Quality
The S62 is made like a tank. Though it must be mounted in a rack case to protect the knobs. I only wish that the chassis provided some knob protection without the extra weight of the rack case.
Value
It does everything I need it to do, plus more.
The Wow Factor
What can I say, I love simple.
