This is by far one of the bext audio mixers you can get for sub £400. Decent audio inputs coupled with very sensative faders make this the choice of many small theatres.

I decided to buy the spirit folio sx purely based on the fact that my school currently has one and it seemed very easy to use yet very powerful at the same time.

I currently use the spirit folio sx for mainly band/concert work. The mixer has never let me down to this day the only problem being that the psu cable got trapped in a flighcase and hence had to be replaced.

If you combine the mixer with a decent amp or 7 then the sound quality is unbeliviably good for a mixer of this price. Has both xlr inputs as well as jack inputs.
