All user reviews for the Behringer Eurorack RX1602

Simple characteristics: it is a summing 16 channels, and it is, but it's not bad! ULN design, no significant wind, and plenty of "headroom" (100% analog forces). He climbs into the red without unsightly saturation is more (even if it's to avoid). Small regret: send the mono, which does not allow to send a stereo source to an effects section. Each input pair can be switched to the-10dBV / +4 dBu, which is extremely convenient for adaptation levels.

UTILIZATION

One branch, the knobs you turn, and that's all. Can not be simpler

SOUNDS

Perfectly transparent. No breath. Again, a simple and effective design.

OVERALL OPINION

I can only second the opinion LeGrosChat, with which I fully agree: this small 1U rack is absolutely perfect for summing expanders and keypads. My only regret is that damn mono send. I also have a small problem with the headphone output saturates (I did not understand why and I wonder if it will not end up back SAV), but I'm using, if ever. Note that you can send the internal mod to spend post-mute/pre-fader to post-fader, independently for each channel. Practice! Last regret hands out unbalanced (when all inputs are on balanced TRS).

Previous reviews, almost everything has been said again and again! This is the analog to very low noise.
Only regret for me, the SEND mono without RETURN. I would have preferred stereo ...
For synths, yet it is quite obvious, I think! Otherwise we can take comfort in saying that it allows you to use more easily guitar effects (in stompbox, for example).

UTILIZATION

Use completely intuitive. Very simple and effective. Good ergonomics overall.
A few cool and often very practical tips (with the MUTE LED per channel, the switch SEND TO PHONE with Led).
Precisely, it allows you to view switch on the small VU meter RX1602 the signal sent by the SEND (and hear with headphones, of course). Practice!
And it allows possibly attack another effect from a stereo jack on the front of which the output level can be adjusted separately by the PHONE LEVEL. Sometimes useful from time to time ...

SOUNDS

100% transparent. It's a summer without EQ, and it's perfectly its job very cleanly.
For breath, I would say to critics go first check their sources, their DIs and wiring before starting to criticize by pure principle because it is the Behringer.
Most synths, modules and expanders, even recent, are much noisier than the RX1602, and not to mention the effects racks or line output guitar amps and bass! Start by having a clean input signal before judging that which is output.
Okay, Behri produced dung, but he also sometimes produces good machines, and it is fortunately the case here: signal / HiFi very close to noise ratio, in my opinion.
In most cases with my synths and sound modules (all entries-10dB), I attack without forcing 0-3 dB output leaving most levels between 11am and noon, with a very clean crisp sound in all frequencies, and dynamic range without distortion. There has reserve power for a little weak signals, but still not enough for a dynamic mic ... Do not ask!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought my first new under warranty, there are at least 5 or 6 years, and the second secondhand there 3 or 4 years, having been perfectly satisfied with the performance of the first. The number of my machines increased, then it had to! So, I do need a fairly minimal mixer for all my studio, and I prefer it (especially lack of space!).
I have not had the opportunity to test other brands / models of the same type. Too rare, too expensive, too big, not enough entries, too damaged secondhand, etc ...
The more the number of entries in only 1U, audio quality, MUTE through stereo with Led ... And of course the price!
Least: SEND mono without RETURN. Could at least be stereo ...
Price / quality ratio at the top, no doubt about it. Congratulations Behri, nice shot!
So we can say that the experience is very successful in my case: I've relapsed once, and I probably still récidiverai if the need arises!

rack, internal power supply, connectors 16 mono jacks for input with an insert for mono FX. headphone jack in the front and main stereo output jack.

mutes for each individual stereo dépard insert for each stereo input and pan control

UTILIZATION

use as a mixer synths samplers, 16 stereo inputs, but ultimately use for 8 stereo devices.

Too bad it is not 16 monos ... suddenly I'll definitely take a second!

SOUNDS

not too much breath despite the 16 inputs, rather good quality especially for a 1U unit.
it is rather a good surprise

OVERALL OPINION

Now two years of use and still going strong

I have a 20 channel digital console in the main, but this little Berhinger makes me great service.
In fact I use it with a patch that allows me to use different separate my expanders samplers that do not are usually outputs. it is very convenient

a unit which I do not even consider to part!

This set is perfect and includes 1U rackmount 8-channel Stereo
There is no gualiseur and has the rear, two mono outputs, one output for monitoring and send two mono inputs and a switch inland -10 dBV and +4. The inputs and outputs are fully Jack!
Each tract has a swith mute, a rglage send to the output, an output level for the master (and not by fader knob) and a SETTING THE balance.
The gnral includes a headphone output faade and knob, two vuemtre, two knobs for the two-level main mix outputs.

UTILIZATION

This is the kind of a miniature Caple mixing the simplest in the world.
The device is driven and require little knowledge that trs.

SOUNDS

No equalizer, a small blast clean the most part of equipment behringer.

OVERALL OPINION

A Q / P lot (130) but for a device that is not used much except you have to plug in the IDE CD 8 (Keyboards, etc.). On the same broadcast .
My opinion: FRO ...

So I bought a little to relieve the main console that comments be pretty bomb y'avait and especially not enough room for all my Stros.

As a practical ac kan same, I use two keyboards with one on each expander and a sampler of the sudden I pre-mix in with all al a signal not too too lev either, remember ke no c ke behringer and volume too loud There's the breath well known.

So here's the thing more practical, while c con Lorski but I want to use a particular trick ba pti hop a "mute" and shut up!

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use and easy manual quick start.

SOUNDS

There's a level c clear breath usual Behringer especially for such a small device, if not cheap but if the signal is not too ba has pushed the fact, I have no complain.

OVERALL OPINION

- Report QualitPrix the height of the quality and price
- Simple
- No bulky and it is a device that does not weigh down the rack.

For use as I will, no bocou competition with this kind of device so I would do I think this choice.

- Rackable 1U
- 16 plutt between Mono or 8 groups of 2 mono. Group in pairs.
- TRS or 6.5 (as you want). XLR and 6.5, 6.5 headset

UTILIZATION

- It can not be easier! or so ...
- The manual? Why?

SOUNDS

- No equipment to measure transparency.
- No breath

OVERALL OPINION

- I just have it (08/07).
- Simple and cheap to mix the sound from several sources.

To be clear, I like Behringer, and I no billionaire, nor (so called) professional ... So

- Yes, it's clear ... I almost regret not having more sources mix!

In short, good stuff, and cheap ... And the price difference is really unjustifiable!

Mixer 16 channels (8 channels or say plutt Stros) with an aux in only 1U (RARE !!!).

Pairs of channels, there are:
<ul>

At the front: Potentiomtres LEVEL, BALANCE, MON / FX + MUTE button (with LED) + CLIP LED

At the rear: Attnuateur + 4dB / - 10dB + 1 pair of TRS symtriques which makes a link with another channel to give a mono sound central to the case if it is used alone (MONO)

In the inside of the machine: Rglage pr (default) / postfader by changing welding

</ul>
For the master section, there are:
<ul>

At the front: Master level master left + right + MON / FX + injection signal master MON / FX volume in the headphones + headphone + headphone jack (6.3) + VU meters sensitivity up to - 24 dB

At the rear: a pair of master outputs (TS assymtrique, damage) + 1 MON / FX (mono TS assymtrique)

</ul>
No pramplis micro, it&#39;s normal, it&#39;s a line mixer (for prmixer of synths, for example). Potentiomtres notched as usual at Behr, at least in their racks.

UTILIZATION

Simpler than the device you die. One branch, and we mix it RULES )))) not making head ^ ^ ^ ^

In live recordings, I use 2 to 4 Premire prmixer the entrance to my Akai DPS16 multitrack (or the tiny Korg D16 I use especially when scne trs is small and centimtre each account), which gives supplmentaires input (because it has only 10) ... ^ ^ I also think putting them in a 3U flyghtcase which the 3rd will be occupied by a U DOD 430 QX, a graphic equalizer 15 band Stereo 1U rack that I found secondhand . Put these three devices in one 3U flyghtcase allow myself to ask the Akai DPS16 above (since these two are too porfonds Behr), which would allow me to SAVE normment space width as the event organizers and concerts have not forcment large tables that would allow me to put my multitrack and mix the tables of a ct of others.

In the studio, I use one for my rack synths prmixer and my botes rhythms because my little Mackie 1402 VLZ is really saturated and I have no place in my normment to put a larger mixer. And the other I use for my prmixer DAT, CD, effects returns, etc.. So, no need to mix tables that take up space: this place is fit for my rcupre botes rhythms. Okay, I admit: it&#39;s also a question of finance. Go touver a mixing desk 32 channels for less than 400 CHF (300 euros), it is mission impossible ^ ^

It&#39;s just too bad that the VU meters tend not work ... Argl!

SOUNDS

Then the Behringer for the gnral in which it is not always terrible, I still mouth be. It is clear, transparent, breathless. This is even clearer than the original sound! ))))

OVERALL OPINION

I have two since November 2005 and I have just bought a troisime in December 2008 and I must say that for now, I do not really regret my purchase.

Advantages:
<ul>

8 pairs of channels in a 1U rack: it&#39;s really hefty! ^ ^ ^ There&#39;s the Boss MX-10 that can raise that level, I know. Put in 2 in one location 1U (because they are 1 / 2 rack width) and you have 20 channels for the same space.

The buttons prsence "MUTE" channel, rare!

ENTERED symtriques!

Excellent sound quality )))

The buttons "MUTE" turn red when activated and when saturation signal (CLIP): maximum visibility even in poor lighting conditions!

Ridiculously low price ^ ^ ^ ^

And it looks solid, Premire view ^ ^

</ul>
Its inconveinients:
<ul>

Assymtriques outputs: what dommaaaaaaaage! We are obliged to stick to the bottom a pair of DI boxes when used on scne by musicians!

Depth limit, only 18.5 cm: it is really just to lay just right over the Korg D16 is small yet ... IDAL is to have at least 24 inches deep ...

Potentiomtres notched: we can not make ends rglages ...

VU meters unreliable, they do not always work ...

</ul>
In addition to the Boss MX-10 is no longer manufactured for a long time, its closest competitor is the Rane SM 82, another mixer 8 channel pairs dpourvus but mute. There is also the Rocktron G612 and Roland M-120 (it is the opposite: it has the entries assymtriques but the XLR outputs, rare!), 12-channel line mixers rack 1U. The latter, unlike the RX1602 Submitted which mixes the channels in pairs, mix channels per channel and two auxiliary dparts. But against, I do not know if their input-output are symtrique TRS or TS assymtrique. Malhère, the Rocktron is no longer manufactured and also for Roland, it seems to be too old ... :-( All that remains is that the Rane ... ^ ^

No, then the I have to say I&#39;m bluffing by this unit. Well, it is true that its outputs are assymtrique but the sound quality excllent (especially for the Behr!) Make me quickly forget that little inconveinient. Good quality and cheap compact Behringer Bravo )))))

See more advice for ... CHARACTERISTICS

UTILIZATION

Bin ... see other reviews for the simplicity ...

SOUNDS

For live use, I'm bluffing.

OVERALL OPINION

No big fan of Behringer, I needed to scne a prmix keyboards / expanders / sampler. I searched a rack as compact as possible and with a lot of entries. APRS Audiofanzine reading advice (like what!) On the RX1602, I tried it. Well 10/10. Really cheap (we found 105!), A childlike simplicity, of rglages penss good and complete, and I must say that the quality is l. Super line mixer for live or complment. Dpenser not worth more, this small BCAN is exactly what what it is intended. Report qualitprix unbeatable. Amazing!
