In this video I cover the issues you may need to consider before purchasing or setting up a @cranborneaudio 500R8. I also cover all of the improvements I would love to see if Cranborne ever makes a version 2.

Update: I missed a couple improvments I wanted to mention. I would love to see a Solo bus and a Mute button for each channel.
