I picked up a Kustom VIII 8 channel mixer a few years ago just because I love anything Kustom and it just looked cool. Didn't know if I'd ever use it. I'm thinking about hooking it up in the play room and maybe using it to front end my home studio Sonar X1 setup.
Problem is, I've got no operating info on it so I don't know if it has mic pre's, provides any phantom power (and if so, what voltage?) how the loops work for effects/echo (I have an old Univox tape based echo box I'd love to hook into this board). Anyway, does anyone have anything on this mixer that will help me get it up and running? Any info at all will be appreciated. Thx.

The mixer is a mono mixer and is a basic mixer. 7 band EQ three position pad switch on the inputs to control input gain. No phanthom power. The effects loop output to input of echo, and echo output to effects return and the reverb controls will vary the amount of echo to each channel. The mixer should have a main out and monitor out. It should also have a line out. Let us know how it turns out.

Don,
Thanks for the info. It may not be everything I hoped for, but I'm going to find a way to bring this beast back to life. Even if it's just for doing some dynamic mic mixes in the play room when the buds are over jamming it will be fun to have running! I'm dying to try out this old echo box in the loop.
