"I have been playing for years and researched and owned many different mixers. Trust me,this is the one you have been looking for"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will keep this mixer as long as it holds out, and probably buy another.
Sound
Have owned the 808M for 3-years, it has worked perfectly. Use it app 2-3 gigs a week, no problem. All kinds of power. Have a 5-piece country band, 4-mics, added 2 Mackie S15s for mains and already had 2-Peavey 15" monitors, dynamite sound. Have owned many other same class mixers, none compare. Tough as nails and great quality for the money. Mackie hit a home run with this mixer.
Value
I know several other pick-up bands that own the 808M and they all say the same thing, its a great mixer
Manufacturer Support
Never had a problem with mixer, but have called for technical info and always got good support.
The Wow Factor
The looks and design features are what a mixer should be.

"Phantom Power"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Phantom power is only +15VDC. Don't try and run your +48VDC phantom powered mics into this board. You will think that there is something wrong with you condenser mics! Mackie should make their phantom power on this and other powered boards +48V like their competitors!
