Slipping in just above the iPod and just behind the 360, the DP226 makes it into Pro Sound News’ (unscientific) poll of the bits of kit that just keep on working. I can testify to that, as we still get plenty of units back for service. That’s not to say they all are turning up broken, it’s generally for basic things like dead back-up batteries, squashed encoders where the rack’s been dropped on its face, bent fronts – general wear and tear. It would be worse if we didn’t get any back, as that would imply that they were no longer in regular service, but that certainly can’t be the case.
What’s even more heartening is the conversations with customers concerned about how long they’ll be without their equipment – it’s generally only a couple of days – as they depend on the units so much. That’s good to know. What’s also good to know is that above and byeond the 5 year guarantee with all our units, we can still service and repair everything we have ever manufactured so don’t be put off buying second hand. Ideally buy new gear of course (!) but the reason the second hand prices remain so high is partly down to the fact that you aren’t buying out of date gear – just used.
Anyway, here’s the article if you’re curious to see what else made the list:
