And in this case, we will assume that the purpose is being a mobile DJ who needs at least one mic channel which can offer a clear microphone sound. In a seasonally generous moment, I haven't stipulated two dedicated channels with volume, bass, middle, treble and kill switches, which I still maintain is the absolute minimum.
My ADJ VMS4.1 offers this, and that's why I use it. A colleague has a VMS4, and despite it allegedly having an awful mic channel, he's having no problems with it at all.
I've had experience of the Denon 6000 mk1, and it wasn't great in that area, but with a lot of adjusting of levels could be made to work in a passable fashion.
OK folks, what have you got? Why is it suitable or unsuitable for the job? Floor is yours.
