All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer Eurorack RX1602

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!

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 )))))
