  After a day of use I am very far from being disillusioned!  Really very nice like a table, maximum possibilities! too bad! First generation table like a mackie, it's sublime!

  Utilization

  Simply great!

  Sounds

  Super clear, I find it to my taste, really perfect! I have the first copy of the series mackie! No breath unless you push the knobs !

  Overall Opinion

  Overall opinion, I bought it for a great price and in super good condition, I am really happy to return to the good old consoles because I got really tired of digital! promix, 01V, 01V96, vm3100 pro, ect! this choice I would repeat without hesitation!

  bobafett31's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Table with 1001 I / O"

  Characteristics

  24 mic + 24 input lines
  
  inserts on all tracks
  
  4-band parametric equalizer semi
  
  8 sub-groups
  
  6 auxiliary (4 knobs + switch between 3 / 4 and 5 / 6)
  
  external power supply to rack 19 "2.5 U
  
  
  
  I think there are more than 250 I / O in total on this table! Inserts are found everywhere, from the outputs of subgroups triplets, etc. ...
  
  
  
  Retrieve the manual for details!

  Utilization

  It's a classic mixer
  
  Attention, depending on the version, the direct-out cable are not in the same way, the first version, they are post-fader!
  
  
  
  The bar graph is switchable between 24 or 24 mic inputs in-line

  Sounds

  For the live, I think it's a very good console that sounds good!
  
  It blows much less than the brand new consoles! (I tried!)

  Overall Opinion

  For how long have you been using it?
  
  2 years
  
  
  
  Did you try many other models before getting this one?
  
  yes, a lot of table Yamaha, Behringer and Mackie
  
  
  
  What thing do you like most/least about it?
  
  bar-graph is really handy, dual monitor section also
  
  The routing capabilities are enormous thanks to the 8 subgroups, 6 to 24 inputs and auxiliary in-line
  
  
  
  Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
  
  Absolutely! this is one of the most complete analog desk that I had the opportunity to see now, there are much better but at prices in a ratio of x10!

  Chouby's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Nothing to add. Connectivity, very impressive for the price. Direct out very useful in particular. I use in the home studio to record and mix with the couple Akai DTD. The PC I use for MIDI.

  Utilization

  Very very complete and simple. The eight buses, six assistants. And on each slice inserts and direct outs. All routings are possible: even the craziest, personal, I m a lot of fun live-out route on to other units.

  Sounds

  The are beginning to understand the price. In order:
  
  - Not really transparent. Matter of taste as well.
  
  - The breath of the preamps qd we push the knob too.
  
  - Knob not accurate. Very tiring to assay a send / end for example.
  
  - Equalizer? Oh yes? is an EQUAL definitely the weak point. Fortunately thanks to the connections, it was soon made to circumvent the problem by way of a true equal. Personal EQUAL j uses the console to the back and goes through the racks for the main specific.

  Overall Opinion

  Buy d OCCAZ, I have been using the 7 / 8 years. 1 slice HS and a few small problems with 2 / 3 faders.
  
  J loves the number of slices and config ultra complete. The least: equal.
  
  J had a spirit tries. But I needed a lot of slices.
  
  Price / quality ratio (in my case, I specify) exceptional. Obviously I would do this choice.
  
  While I was going against the very heart-PC very soon (Motu 24 I / O + Cubase 4), I will keep my console to the component, such as "mixer" for my racks and qd buddies come to play at home. I use very little for the recording and the mix.
  
  In summary: very satisfied with the services that gave me this beautiful console.

  Zavierxp's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Well ... I would be the first one opened this section ...
  
  I'll try (in Germany) this weekend ...
  
  € 350 ... (And yes ... eBay)
  
  
  
  Specifications are on www.Behringer.de
  
  
  
  Apart from the fact that no effects (which for the battery does not bother me) ...
  
  It has everything a great (who rarely effects !)... 9 / 10

  Utilization

  Super simple (if you have the manual in French) ... In English, I did not have more difficulties ...
  
  That is all happy to use!
  
  No complaints except that the next use faders mine are too thin, I would have liked a little resistance ... 9 / 10

  Sounds

  Well, the neutral ... No change.
  
  Good value for money. No breath for me (tested with a pro mic (Neumann) in overhead) - What I could never pay me!
  
  
  
  6 / 10 (without looking at the price)
  
  10/10 (Egarter was the price!)
  
  
  
  So 8 / 10

  Overall Opinion

  Well, its neutral routing possibilities that have not some "big", the faders lack of "hardness" of mine (they sheap).
  
  Otherwise, the rest has already been said ...
  
  Ah, yes ... I would do it again? Yes, that's clear! Unbeatable value for money!
  
  For an amateur home studio home ... Is that of happiness ...
  
  
  
  The real "pro" will want better, and will pay more!

  Michalon's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Non Rack Console.
  
  - 24 channels (24 channels inline), 8 bus, 6 auxliaires
  
  - Connector jack / XLR architecture complete
  
  - Équalos 2 + 2 semi-parametric fixed by
  
  - No effects section.

  Utilization

  Despite his side "gas factory", this table is simple to use thanks to its ergonomics and its logic.
  
  It's simple: we can do everything on it! One has the impression that anything is possible in terms of routing and connectivity.

  Sounds

  The console is not really transparent but does his job: clear sound, good potatoes, very little wind. Equalos correct.

  Overall Opinion

  I use mine for ten years and then: no problems except some occasional crachottements a few knobs.
  
  It is true that it throws in a studio, the number of channels is an additional comfort: no need to disconnect / reconnect constantly machinery or tools, each has his way attritrée!
  
  At the time of purchase (12,000 francs), it was almost exact copy of Mackie 24/8/2 for the third of the price!
  
  A good machine, very interesting opportunity

  Phil443's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Big 48 in-line console (no mount kit available).
  
  - 8 subgroups, 6 pre / post departure of assistants, with switch between 3 / 4 and 5 / 6.
  
  - Returns auxiliary stereo.
  
  - XLR & TRS jacks on the 24 main tracks, Jacks entries Mix B.
  
  - Direct-outs and inserts on every channel.
  
  - Additional entries for each group / auxiliary return.
  
  - 2 tracks and external inputs.
  
  - Inserts on Main and sub-groups.
  
  - 2 headphone outputs with separate assign comprehensive.
  
  - Equalos semiparametric covering the entire band + 75 Hz high-pass
  
  - Equalos two bands (80 Hz & 12KHz) on input B.
  
  - No built-in effects.
  
  - Ability to switch between the slices with the corresponding entries Mix B (very convenient).
  
  - 48 V phantom Alim assignable in groups of eight (less convenient).
  
  - Micro integrated and assignable orders.
  
  - 10 bar graphs for subgroups + Main. Headband complete bargraphs option.

  Utilization

  Clear routing, connectivity much more abundant on some models, however, much more expensive, it's a console that is beginning to impose. Its separate power supply and weight inspire confidence ...
  
  100 mm faders glide well and are accurate. Manual in English, but not off-color, with handy synopsis.

  Sounds

  The preamps are pumped back to those of a certain very famous Mackie at the time, good dynamics and clarity are great to visit. You really have to push very hard to recover breath. The équalo unfortunately without setting Q is a shame because it would have been perfect ...
  
  
  
  Otherwise, this console sounds "neutral", it makes no specific staining, and personal, I like.
  
  
  
  Certainly there are better, but we'll have to break the piggy bank ...

  Overall Opinion

  I've been a ... since then? Long, for sure. Pumped back to the Mackie, the MX-8000 found in undeniable qualities and his abundant connections can do just about anything you want. Following a trial against so-cons lost Mackie, Behringer MX-8000A emerged a lot worse then the 9000 ...
  
  
  
  Assets:
  
  - Connectors for this staggering price range.
  
  - Matos strong.
  
  - Good preamps and équalos.
  
  - Section mixing comprehensive and well laid out, with many possible assignments.
  
  - Aesthetically pleasing, it is important when you bump it 12 hours a day ...
  
  
  
  Cons:
  
  - The Q on équalos missing.
  
  - No phase inverters.
  
  - The assignment of the phantom in groups of 8.
  
  - The connection is fabulous, but once the banner bargraphs laid, access to the connector and switch Mic / Line becomes impractical.
  
  
  
  Well, at risk of being down in flames by all critics of the brand (and there are many), I am sorry to say that Behringer has not come out as dung, and this console is an illustration . I bought it at the time being not sure of the keep. Well it is clear that it is still there, the matron, and I never had any technical problem. Certainly qu'électronicien time, I've made some changes nice, but it's a good carcass. Currently, it is coupled to a Tascam TMD 1000 Fly-in a big box, and all groups are managed by TDG Digital 1000. Well it makes quite a gas plant, worthy of some bikes a lot, but really much more expensive.
  
  
  
  I regularly handles large consoles with names that make you dream. I also have a D & R. We certainly can not compare, but still: ergonomics, simplicity and sound quality that are fun for everyday use, and endurance is at the appointment. What more to this price?
  
  
  
  Especially as the market opportunity, we can reach in good condition at ridiculous prices. But be careful, eh, take an MX-8000, not the MX-8000A is not at all the same ...
  
  
  
  The value for money: breathtaking. I would do if this choice? Mmmmmmh, why not?

  Anonymous 's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Just to say I Fully agree with my prdcesseur!

  Utilization

  Idem.
  
  
  
  PSU's (impressive!) is 19 inch rack, 2 units.
  
  strong, stable and ventilated by a small fan latral (the srieux).
  
  
  
  if that little fan ESG by the murmur lightweight, but Submitted, he does, you can open the top of the "box", cut the son of the fan (once the power supply unplug e sector, of course) and put a piece of insulating tape at the end of each.
  
  Then it turns the fan and it does not cover the power supply.
  
  we put a grid arati rack above and below the power supply in the rack o faade it up (I'm clear?) and it works well as a trs .
  
  and presto! super silent power supply!
  
  thank you that? ...

  Sounds

  To search for the tite bte ... it would be better with the SETTING THE Q parameter.

  Overall Opinion

  Used for 6 years, still no problem of reliability.
  
  
  
  the era I made the right choice, I think.
  
  
  
  now is the best in qualitprix occasion.
  
  
  
  if I bought new, for the j'hsiterais numrique, but though they say ... the pramp of mx are better than those of yam digital and ergonomics is a marvel.
  
  
  
  then ... aa more face in a stud! (Especially as it is cascadable! ...).

  Chris.angel's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The MX8000 ... it has everything a great. And more ...
  
  
  
  I will not here his résumé CHARACTERISTICS - they are available on the Behringer site - but in outline:
  
  
  
  - It possde 2 x 24 channels available sparment, but with some limitations, 6 and 8 Aux Send Subgroup.
  
  
  
  - It is a team of connection 'Input Expander Bus Ports'. This allows to add a sub-mixer and so bnficier on this, officers of the MX8000.
  
  
  
  - It benefitted from the technology of pramplis Mackie (implying thus the sound of these qulait pramps).
  
  
  
  - A large rack of 2 1 / 2 U provides power to the console.
  
  
  
  So this is a great bte, although its caratristiques are more or less traditional about this kind of console.

  Utilization

  The MX8000 Submitted the same ergonomics as the work of his size consoles: long rows of well organiss channels on which the srigraphie is explicit. The buttons and knobs are small but accessible and prcis.
  
  
  
  The connector is a bit Drout: we find the opposite as female jacks on the rear suprieure. In addition, the flexibility of the console connection induces a rich, sometimes Drout. Unlike channels, the indications are not always empty ... Have fun and live semi-pnombre!
  
  
  
  The use of 24 channels 'B' is a bit heavy and inconvenient. With the help of a swtich or is assigned channel buttons 'A' (EQ, Aux Send, ...) their counterpart 'B', or it has 4 buttons (Lo and Hi EQ, Pan and gain) or less. Say, if they are intended to receive a multi-instance, they allow a lack of dpanner.
  
  
  
  Manir gnrale of the MX8000 is relatively easy to use for anyone matrise some mixing consoles (I exclude here so DJ tables). Its connectivity and wide, however possibilitsncessitent grip rational and informed.

  Sounds

  Especially thanks the quality of its pramplis, the concerns of German dtail and rigor, the MX8000 is really close counterparts in the most prestigious name. It provides the rle of mixer properly, but no more. The sound that emerges is clear but not transparent.
  
  
  
  Moreover, its technical specifications (EQ + / - 15 dB, 10 dB -4, ...) it confrent signal processing and efficient prcis.
  
  
  
  But be careful: high gain, it Submitted a little breath.

  Overall Opinion

  As suspected, Behringer has once again offered a quality product price mini. And they have not done in the dtail, as they have dubbed the technology of the era Mackie - which also earned them a ban on sales to US
  
  
  
  I purchased this console used in 2003. Although it was (and is still) treated with the utmost care, there is all the same a few weaknesses (cracks, false contacts) due to its age and choice of components (ben yes, everything pays Ralite), but nothing debilitating.
  
  
  
  Besides, this is a really versatile console, full of possibility that even the (very) large not (see Bus Expander Ports imputed). It is rugged, reliable and good quality sound. The MX8000 is, moreover, a small open market price of OCCAZ (500-600 euros). Not to be missed!
  
  
  
  I also want to give you some recommendations if you want to buy:
  
  - It is available for almost 10 years. Connatre for his age (it's crazy and sellers quickly forget the age of their hardware !!!), Verify the serial number. During the 90's, the first digit is the year of construction. There is also sometimes the 'Date Code' (MM YY format), much more explicit.
  
  - From 1998, Behringer has an update on the console, which then took an 'A' in its name (MX8000A). They apparently replaced the MODEL of pramplis (among others?).
  
  - Verify all buttons and potentiomtres with the console. Yes, a time consuming and has con, but it ncessaire! The buttons sometimes show signs of weakness (crunch, malfunction, ...) The rotary must potentiomtres Submitted Resistors some 'oily' enjoyable. For cons, the faders are Resistors glide.

  Kant1's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  A priori, not rack console, but hey, it's a great dj.
  
  24/8/2 XLR and jack, but it is a in-line, so in fact you can use up to 48 entries.
  
  look at the behringer site for more information, we do not really lacks: the many dpart, insert through, talk-back circuit, band saw-meter optional between magnto, mute, eq semi -Settings, lo-cut, ..
  
  
  
  Intgr no effect, but the abundant connections used to connect a good rack full well no problem!
  
  
  
  Finally, power is spar in a beautiful rack!

  Utilization

  This console is very simple, who knows well the sr basic functionality of a console! all fawns, although instructions provided which allows to navigate even for a novice. Trs good ergonomics in short, and the user manual includes basic situations.

  Sounds

  Some like mdir on Behringer, who, indeed, often products Submitted not really pros. As for the console, it is clean, trs little noisy, with eq effective. May be it could be a little warm, but hey, it's not a Neve, and it's good dj trs. For decision-voice, I use the blow often prampli Bellari externally.

  Overall Opinion

  I use the console for 2 years, but it is second-hand and must have ten years. Say anything, it runs without any problem, trs looks solid.
  
  I bought it about 7000 with FF-meter band saw, but a good plan c'tait a priori (c souvnet without the price band). At this price the RVer I could not better. I bought a small mackie hsit, 12 or 16 channels, a value sre. N o I regret: the MX 8000 allows me much more things, including the use of sound when playing 10! My main use is plutt Obviously the home studio, and I'm really happy trs.
  
  Go ahead without hsiter.
