> $250 on a Behringer mixer. Yamaha, Mackie, Allen & Heath, Soundcraft, and ART all make mixers with at least 6 channels on them in the $250 price range. So, there's more to the mixer landscape than Teenage Eng. and Behringer. I can't comment on all the brands, but I've used Yamaha and Mackie for years, with virtually zero problems. My old Yamaha 12 channel (which would retail for $300 today) was an absolute tank. It did countless shows in dirty warehouses, clubs, fields, and never even had a road case! Which, I I'd qualify as pretty reliable. > If you are trying to figure out why you'd pay for this you aren't their target market I actually think that I am their target market. I've got many thousands of dollars worth of eurorack modular (which is the same niche), synthesizers (including Sequential), guitars, and studio equipment. I obsess over this stuff, and spend money on it. But, I cannot figure out why I would spend $1200 on this 6 channel mixer. The Burr Brown ADC? I guess you could argue the size is the selling point. But, that seems more like a solution looking for a problem. And, frankly, if you intend to use a mixer in your performance, the size could do more harm than good.

Yeah, these knobs look very small to be adjusting in a hurry in the dark backstage but I’m not the target market.

  I doubt this will see much backstage use. I expect to see it used by buskers, who need portability (and sometimes the ability to pack up in seconds), and by artists who make fiddling with their equipment part of their performance. That and people who put it on their desk because they like the design.

I'm not sure what the target market is either, but I suspect people who highly value portability would be a large part of it. This thing packs a lot of features in a really tiny form factor (potentially replacing bigger mixers and an FX pedal, dunno if the sequencer/synth is worth anything), and has a battery. If you have a lot of studio equipment including eurorack, big keyboard synths and other gear I suspect you wouldn't quite fit that description, this thing would get lost in the studio.
