John, I have used a 362 for years with good and not so good results. As Matt reports, it can get to be a little bit harsh at times. I find that using it in an over all mix causes feedback from a mike. I use it live now, but only as follows-HP dv7 Lap Top--Band In A Box--BBE 362--Allen&Heath ZED 10FX--left and right out to a pair of QSC K12's. The seperate sub out is fed every so gently to channel two of the left only QSC. I am shure you will be happy with the 362. Leon
