UTILIZATION

Basic and very simple table, suitable for small sound systems, small lives, a small home studio.

SOUNDS

In the 20 years that I have mine. I do not use it much anymore, sometimes for small lives.
It is much better than the UB, and other behringer XENYX produced by the more ...

It is in the small material though. But this is not a reason to demolish: it does the job. Do not spend more for some benefits, because the difference in quality will not be audible.

Return level, it will settle for a maximum of 3 returns. doing so, we deprive ourselves of a departure for effect.

I live in peti therefore used as follows:
- Aux send 1 to FX (which I refer to a slice stereo if you need to troubleshoot the effect, or to an fx return)
- Aux Send 2 to 1 return, which can sends2 via the button every have a separate monitor mix.
- Control room to another return (same façade mix ...)

There are other ways to use it. The pfl can ETR eutilisés for the Bleak headphones (Rule show, dj ...)

OVERALL OPINION

About 20 years. I now use the Yamaha 03D studio. Live it depends, sometimes you pass me mackie, behringer no better than this, and rather fragile ... I worked also XENYX 802 and UB02, PM1000, Soundcraft, O1v.
The Behringer MX are copies of Mackie of the time trial in support.
Subsequent series are much more fragile and less interesting, but can do the job in a small home studio or for the show rule.

If I had the choice between a MX, a UB or XENYX doubt that eje apportion with the oldest ... Now, I prefer a netemment 01v (all versions) 02R or 03D for digital, and soundcraft or allen & heath with a stroke fader greater. But now: they are much more expensive.
Behringer remains an interesting brand quality price report some products (such as adat converter, the series mx, some pregnant eurolive correct: pay double to stay finally in the same qualitative product range is not a big thing but it exists. much better ... much more ...
After we pay for, but no more ...

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 9 + years, very versatile, has Phonic Power Pod 401
Yamaha ELC 312SC, the purchase would do without hesitation'll never part with it.

It is a 16-channel console that I used in a home studio as mixer for my keyboards and guitar pedals. The connection jack is 6.35. It has no effects section, and I did not use corrections.

UTILIZATION

I remember that the config was simple and easy to use, and perfectly suited to my practice.
The output mix of all tracks, returned to a sound card and ca allowed me to record track to track mutant unwanted channels, or sometimes several tracks keyboards simultaneously.

SOUNDS

Already for the sound, I did not use the EQ on the console. I came the sound of my live keyboards, and if I had to make a correction, it was on my keyboards.

I've never had to complain at the sound. Of course, I never got past the 0db. My keyboard had returned to the level already set to the nearest 0 using the "PFL solo" function to align with the VU meter on the console. Very convenient.

OVERALL OPINION

I used a decade to record my songs. I never had a problem with it. I only used in home studio, so it was not switched on and off constantly.

Though they say BEHRINGER I bought different products of this brand that has always worked well, and for a democratic price, allow to completely equip cheaply.

I have never regretted my purchase, I bought it new and it was perfect for my use.
I sold after ten years to buy a console with integrated sound card, and it still worked perfectly.
After, it is on some compare it to a console 10 times more expensive, and therefore it does is say anything ... (sometimes even without having heard )
For my part I find the report / quality / very good price!
