Are Power A Controllers Good Switch

Works good for small mixers and controllers.

Switch is well built with no need for power.

Manual Switch works without power.

The power switch works too

Host controllers (in contrast to hubs) do better in certain ways, For example, when using software to burn to multiple CD drives. The card has a port to plug in SATA power; they explain this is to give it added power (I believe for charging - not sure if for general operation), but it works fine even without it - at least for standard operation to devices that have wall power.

Ergonomic design, spacing of plugs is good, on off switch which is important to me to save power on transformers when away, green light on clear plastic trim to show its on may be too bright for bedroom but fine in home office. Wish it had a flat plug. Protection is highly rated. I have been fortunate not to test that out.

Great for gaming, good for productivity, sips the power. Glad i made the switch from Intel. And of course the B&H customer support is quick, reliable, friendly, and puts their customers needs first! Can’t say that about many companies these days.

I use the mixer for mixing microphones, the output of a TASCAM DP-02, and a Roland TD4S electronic drum kit. I do this for listening to tracks in practice and prep for recording. Also use it for mixing various inputs into a Roland KC-550 amplifier for live practice and gigs. This small mixer has virtually no noise. (unless you crank it up all the way, which you should never need to do) The FX quality is also very good. No digital artifacts or noise that I can tell. Also it has quite a good range of useful FX effects from subtle to extreme, all controlled with a send level and individual channel return levels. The only concern I would have is that since there is no power switch you have to either unplug the power supply (or use power strip with a power switch) or pull out the power connector from the mixer rear to turn it off. The power plug in the rear is like an s-video connector so it is fragile. Just be careful and it should be no problem. The power led is blue and is very intense. If the mixer is located in a dimly lit area the blue LED makes it difficult to see the knobs or make adjustments

Good value for the money. Using this unit to power a PoE switch and several IP cameras. Short depth makes install easier.

I really like this Netgear switch. I love the power switch. There is not much to setup. It's a great performer and offers good value.
