Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this Nady SPM-4250 mixer for small venue gigs. It drives two 4 ohm speakers to a good volume with no noticeable distortion using stringed instruments and vocals as the source. The whisper of the fan can be heard near the mixer, but is not objectionable to me. All in all, I would give the mixer five stars by itself; but considering what I found after it arrived on my doorstep, I must knock my review down a star. The first thing I noticed, upon opening the shipment, was that the serial number on the box did not match the serial number on the mixer. The second thing I noticed was a missing manual. There was a notice in an enclosed unsealed plastic bag that stated I should read the included instruction manual before operating the mixer. Since my search turned up no manual anywhere, I downloaded a manual from the Internet, and continued unpacking. The third thing I noticed was that, upon powering up the mixer for the first time, it stunk like it had been used in a south-side beer joint. In my better than 50 years of purchasing new equipment and gizmos, I'm quite familiar with the various fragrances and odors that new electronic gear can emit. However, for brand new gear, this stale-beer and cigarette smoke smell is a new one to me...and I might add, a bit suspicious. However, the odor was apparent to me only before using it for the first gig. It seems to smell like all my other gear now...poor thing.To sum up: This mixer is everything I expected it to be...so far. It's a nice size and weight; the controls are intuitive enough to use without a manual and do what they are supposed to do; it has power enough to fill a reasonable sized room (or beer joint!) with music; and finally, this Nady SPM-4250 has features enough to do the job where my Yamaha EMX-5000 is overkill. I'm happy with it. What else can I say?
