"Like it! The C-RAY/8 from IMG Stage Line is easy to transport, provides a perfectly tuned sound and is of an unobtrusive design. It is quickly set up and ready for use. These are perfect prerequisites for leaving a lasting impression with small acoustic bands, DJs and multimedia PA applications. Thanks to digital signal processing, it is possible to carry out audible sound adjustments quickly with one equalizer control only. Thus, operating the mixer is child's play and also suitable for inexperienced users.
