I would say the sound QUALITY is not great. It's fine at best, but not horrible. As with anything, a pro engineer can make it work for them, many fine albums have been done with gear of that nature.

If you know exceptional audio gear - Neve 80, API, Quad Eight, etc. it is not in that league at all. But it is better than most things of that era. I'd say if you DON'T do much EQing, you'll be OK and please avoid the onboard compressor stuff.

But then WHY do you want a desk?
