Makes absolutely no sense to me and just smacks of false economy in a global market but I'll save that debate for elsewhere right about now. Actually I stand corrected I can get it here including the GST and shipping for around $400 less than the retail price in Australia.ĭoesn't bode well for sales of your products in our market no matter how good they are (which holds true of other manufacturers as well I might add). That said I can purchase one from overseas, get it shipped here and bar shipping + GST come in at over $400 less than any retailer can sell it for in this country. I purchased an Electribe ESX & EMX in Canada last year for $800 AUD the pair and brought them back into the country with no duties tax what so ever seeing as they where for personal use and had receipts to prove the purchase was under $900AUD and they retail/sell for over 1K per unit here. Which in all honesty is utterly ridiculous. I can for example fly return to LA, buy a Motif XS, spend a week, come back and still have money left in the jar after a purchase. I never received a viable arguement from Yamaha on this either. Only your company would know what the wholesale shipping costs where to your Australian distributor ( I can't get that information ) but there seems to be a massive profit margin mark up of over 100% somewhere in the supply chain.
#Phonic helix board 18 universal not showing up pro
So Phonic is looking forward to the pro review, user comments, feedback, good or bad.Ĭaitluntw - do you have any reason for the disparity in retail prices between both countries on this device ? I keep getting stupid comments from local distributors about the import tax on such products into Australia. We're continuously improving the product, updating firmware and adding features. Here's a link to the German pre-publication PDFs that we obtained: ĭevelopment of Phonic's digital mixer didn't stop when we shipped the products. There are reviews in a handful of German magazines and English magazines to follow. Phonic would love to see a pro review on our digital mixer too, Craig This product just started shipping a month ago and reviews in print take a while, so an online review would be the fastest way for users to get unbiased assessment of the product. If nothing else, this Pro Review has gotten me to pay a lot more attention to what they're doing - and there are still more things in the 808 we need to cover. And now the 808, which is definitely an overachiever.
I believe they have some updates coming soon (or might be available already - I need to check).Īs to Phonic in general, I know what you mean First there was the PAA6, and I thought that was pretty cool. I used a Panasonic DA7 for years - still have it - always thought it was a great mixer, so that would be my standard of comparison to the Phonic mixer. Actually I think it's turned out that the Firefly 808 has made a good subject for a Pro Review, given the depth.
I think it would make a great subject for a Pro Review, given the onboard processing and the like. I'm not sure if I'll be doing a pro review on it but there have been discussions. I actually have a Phonic Helix here for evaluation (they changed the name from Summit to avoid any confusion with Summit Audio).
