I dont understand the thinking behind a piece of
gear aimed at professional use that relies on
potentiometers to set such crucial parameters,
and that without any attempt at calibration. A
Chinagraph mark or a scratch on the paint as a
reference where to reset the knob for future use
is not good enough and, when it comes to
adjusting spread, a figure of 0 to 10 means
nothing. RME uses a similarly unhelpful system
of 0 to 1 in Totalmix, but at least it is
accurately repeatable, and one can work out what
an n dB change to the M or S channel means in terms of angular spread.
End of rant.
