Mixer 16 channels + 2 stereo returns (20 tracks).
Not to be confused with the MX2004A.
The MX2004 is a true copy of a Mackie 1402 VLZ but with 16 slices and a 3-band EQ with a parametric.
Same look, same colors, same wiring scheme, the same components, even his ...
This console was built until 1999, when Mackie filed a complaint and won her case against Behringer. The German manufacturer has then had to change the look and manufacture of consoles (he imitated the range Mackie).
The MX2004 has inherited an A at the end. This also means that production has become more Chinese and non-German.
The sound quality was amazing on the first series (just like a 1402 except the preamp which supported a less senior levels) has declined considerably thereafter.
Behringer damage and the consumer and good for Mackie.

SOUNDS
Compared with a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro: it's the same sound (except the preamp which is a little less flexible).
It sounds pretty hard and accurate without adding nor breath nor actual color.
The equalizer is convenient with the parametric mid. Unfortunately, on this point, we remain in the low end like the original Mackie. To be used in small doses to avoid damaging the sound.
OVERALL OPINION
Value for money unbeatable. I know of no example of a console as complete, with good sound quality in this price range.
It's perfect for live sound in a group or repeated as to start in a home studio.
