All user reviews for the Behringer Eurorack UB2442FX-Pro

I picked up this unit after trading in my old mixer at my local music store. It was $569 CAD plus tax.

I like the preamps, and the way everything is mounted, with the knobs riding on the metal, and the potentiometers inside (built like a mackie!) By far the best part of this unit is the direct outs on channels 1-8. This is the only mixer I could find that had that feature in a reasonable price range. The built in effects are decent too, good enough for live use anyway.

The direct outs aren't balanced! Who's stupid idea was that? I run it into my Digi001 with 1 fotters and I can't tell the difference, but I would like to know who decided to make the main selling point UNBALANCED! Also, I wish they would make a version without the effects. Like I said, they are good enough for live use. But I own a recording studio and I don't need them. Lots of others feel this way too.

The unit is built tough. The faders are smooth, the detents at 12 oclock on the knobs are enough to let you know that it's not going anywhere until you turn it, and it is better than any of the other behringer mixers I've used in the past.

I wish that behringer would hire some people that speak english to write their english manuals. I have owned 5 behringer products over the years, and all manuals are ridden with typos, run on sentances, and in the case of the fcb1010 midi controller, it was useless.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

It has all the features expected of a table, 10 XLR inputs with parametric equa, 80Hz filter, possibility of sub-group, mute and everything else. It is really complete the scene was all the options imaginable, and in addition it is rack mountable. I understand that users who are not poor ratings in the features sections, I have another table and yamaha soundcraft for recording and they do not have as much opportunity as this one, either in returns, distribution of high Speakers and settings.

UTILIZATION

For those who have used mixers, they will not feel in unknown territory, the other is true that there are many button.
The manual is clear, I read it.

SOUNDS

I use it only for rehearsal and live, minimum 4 hours per week and the sound quality is very ample. I read a lot of problems among users of breath but I must say that the fan noise of other amps pass over. One thing is this is not a table made for recording in the studio, it's really dedicated to service. The equalization is effective, the effects are like those of other tables, it is not exceptional but ca troubleshoots to thicken a bit of percussion and voices

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it on occasion there are more than two years and I never had a poblème with, I am very pleased with this table for the price.
I have two other tables of good reputation that I do not go out live because not enough tracks (vocals, bass, guitar, percussion, synth and drums that did a lot of tracks) and not damaged and all the way the public would not hear the difference with the sound of the concerts

CHARACTERISTICS on it is really complte.
One advantage is that it is rack mountable and for all tracks that a. .. Another: 4 tracks strro dt 2 are switchable to mono (=> 2 + 2 Stereo monos).

UTILIZATION

This table is extrment complte and multi-effects is what it is worth, but it is very convenient. For my part, I have a lexicon MPX1 for voice, but the other tracks, instruments, choirs and other multi-effects Intgr dpanne me well.
The setup is ultra-simple, but if you do not have gnrales knowledge on the functioning of a table (returns, ss-groups ...), do not rely on the manual, which simply dcrire of all functions of the table without explaining how to get there (a typical Berhinger it is a pity)

SOUNDS

The input of pramplis trs are silent (even + when they are down ...), however the master may start blowing pretty quickly.
The qualiseur is not the most crystalline, but ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months, I find it really complte trs and that price is royal!
However it is returned to Germany dj be rpar (2 pramplis HS 1 Stereo microphone and a mono). So it's great when it works, but has qd fails ... C'tait probably one of default seems to be today SERIES corrected over it has not retained trs t long.
I do not have an ear pro, but in the failure of my table I was a prt Mackie ... L I really saw the difference, especially at the qualisation, which ignores bcp + prcise.
I utiilise group for RPTES, caf concert, and perfectly adequate. If I had more pepette I bought a Mackie, now I'm sure.
So if you have the dough, Do not hesitate to take better, otherwise you will never be of this console.

Report features / attractive price. The number of channels is very good for small concerts, etc. standard connectors ... Not much to complain for the price.

Ah yes, a big bug for me: you can not separate monitor outputs and headphone ... Stupid!

UTILIZATION

There must agree to use the word.

On usability and accessibility, it's okay. Not always intuitive functions on sub-group etc, but this is my first table ... is probably why.

on the other hand, reliability is so void, that the use is very galley. While the note ...

SOUNDS

No problem on the table itself. Very proper use of table

As against the effects, it's just to enrich the pub. UNUSABLE! (Breath type on the tundra blizzard!)

OVERALL OPINION

For almost a year I have, but trouble: the pre-amps let go one after the other, the Service does not make the repairs under warranty, the posts left on the site Behringer unanswered, entries repaired let go again ...

Run!

Table Rack, 24 channels, 10 mic preamps with +48 V phantom power supply, bus 4, 8 direct outs ... a correct sections without effect. EQ on all channels, parametric medium. On paper There's everything you need.

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple overall. It does not differ from other tables and you have a little experience goes smoothly ca. The manual is fairly brief, but enough to attack if we start altogether.

SOUNDS

The preamps are quite transparent, not super subtle but they can work properly. We are not in Avalon, America is not to be mistaken, but it is not in the same price either. Frankly, a good compressor and insert the work is really effective and clean, to use the votes. A good condenser mic is also very important. The amp makes a big difference, however, and the voices and acoustic guitars I have a twin price of Q at Joe Meek. It is more pointed. But globalemnt can not complain, it's already very clean. As clean as the Mackie, but actually clear. The effects are really there to decorate, even if they are not really bad, but we are used to much better. Let's say it'll live for the good, the masi enregistrment prefer the effects of your soft or external rack.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. The price / quality ratio is simply enormous. I have a 1604VLZ it 6 or 7 years and believe me if you want, but the sound of the behringer is good. The price he has nothing to do with cons. For the price of lmackie you can have this table and an external stereo preamp plus a compressor 2 or 4 channel behringer always with an end result that will give much more successful and a pro table alone. Just for the ratio Q / P deserves a 10.

As a mixer. . .
Routing possibilities complte.
Inserts on all mono tracks. Insert the master.
4 dparts effect (2 pr-post)
4 sub groups.

Note symtriques inputs and outputs, use a DS as possible.

UTILIZATION

No spcificits particulire if not a "fact intgrquot; (which is not usable srieusement).

The knobs are small and close to each other which severely hampers the use of scne.

I always had doubts about the quality of the knobs and faders of the mark ... And indeed there is one that begins "crachouiller". The ALPS faders are many ...

Fader groups (4) trs (too) sensitive.

SOUNDS

The console is "relatively" transparent gart the price at which it offers.

The Liasons asymtriques actually introduce a lightweight breath.
It seems to me trs important to note that using the input and output symtriques, the breath is almost inesxistant; to me anyway!

The qualiseurs are correct within a certain range of gain. However, it seems better to use them in attnuation plutt amplification!

OVERALL OPINION

Why I chose this console: Amateur less fortunate possdant sound card 8 outputs (symtriques), and some synths and effects, I must admit that that is the only MODEL offered me the possibility to connect all for a low blow.

on the other hand, for scne, it's really not IDAL. Reconnaissont him a certain fragility!

It is obvious that for a more professional you think not even! But it's a secret. : - /

They know

UTILIZATION

Simple if you have already used to a console, a little more complicated for a newbie, the manual? Not think I even check it out!

SOUNDS

For me no problem of breath, the effects are perfect for live (I use a reveb and does very well) I do not know why this brand is much disparaging but I only had the good service provided by the equalization console.Cote: soundcraft I was not doing better or worse is a question of turning the right knobs and have a little ear and you're playing!

OVERALL OPINION

I possess for a year and a half and no problems until now.
excellent quality / price
easy to use (no manual for me)
practical effects return
What's that good !!!!!

Dj given below

UTILIZATION

Config simple, just a BMOL:

knob too close
if the effects are in. bad, pity we can custom settings in. !!!!!

SOUNDS

Just a pb of breath that you try to wipe a maximum pushing and lowering his voice a max master

bp apart from this, it is proper for its price trs

OVERALL OPINION

I possess 6 months, and I must admit that for the price, it's worth it !!!!!!

ok this is inches from top pro, but there are a lot of things in. bearing earths!

the + the number of insert, to, voice, and the price

the -: knob too close and blows

The highlight of this small table is the 8 outputs deriere live there, it allows to go live on the multitrack recorder (or sound card) and record the instruments without going through the subgroups or by the auxs.
convenient built-in effects but it is true that the effects processseur generates breath

UTILIZATION

Not need the manual if you have already an idea of ​​how to work a mixing desk.
good configuration

SOUNDS

I found a small problem, not so much in the breath as if we have good microphones and you go up too much of a return there will be effects that can very very.
but instead it seems to me that the preamp colors légerment sound, this console has a tendency to talk a little nose (small bump in the upper midrange 800Hz)

OVERALL OPINION

I have over 3 years and HOnet in my home studio it is aa very well what it do (I do not prod me) if you want the crazy stuff or you can afford it and the bought, or you can afford and we are going in the studio!
a very good small table that price!!

See below.

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale coorrespond the classic consoles.
I have not had any problems for Premire use of the mark.
The manual is comprehensive, although somewhat technical for a novice.

SOUNDS

When potentiomtres of legalization are rgls yes, I often fall to rev up mdium strong, keep the upper 0 and two or more potentiomtres ngatif least according to the speakers.

OVERALL OPINION

- Two years of use. Four six hours a day, never fails!
- I'm happy.
- I used dja other DJ mixer but no studio console.
- The ratio quality price is right
- I would do this choice (for the same purpose).

Rackable
RCA Jack, XLR
Effect of low-quality integrated
See given manufacturer.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly straightforward and the manual too.


SOUNDS

so that's where this console is the TOP.
No transparency but EQUAL quite effective.
A breath as this, I have rarely heard this.
it is a disaster. work in a home studio is taking the lead at a very short time.


OVERALL OPINION

Too long.
yes Mackie, Soundcraft, etc. phonic ...
The +: are prices (of breath)
the -: the breath
It's always for money. Cheap but still too expensive.
No, I do not do it again this election, I'd rather wait and take éconnomiser better equipment.
