UTILIZATION

Ultra simple.

The manual seems clear vraiement but has not been used. This is a table of intuitive mix with the usual options.

Everything is easily accessible.

SOUNDS

THE console is + / - transparent ... We must not push too gains the table for lack of breath and preferably come with a fairly high gain in the table. The equalizer is his office.

The effects on the merit to exist but are not transcendent. Better work via post to add a programe.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year.

First studio table bought especially for the presence of four high-impedance inputs to enter with such intruments guitar / bass directly. Makie in the presence of 3 on most models except "mega budgets."

4entrées with direct guitar / bass were the reason for my purchase of this table.

I would do this choice for the budget and use that I do. (Small jams with friends, home studio solo) With the highest standards and a much larger budget 2 tables Makie firewire connected together for the final high impédences 6entrées live instruments.

All it says on the website or in other reviews

UTILIZATION

Simple, the manual is fairly brief, not much to say.

SOUNDS

I just installed it, so ....

OVERALL OPINION

WARNING!

I was previously a Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire. Firewire is abandoned as the laptops, I went to the table and usb takes roughly the same characteristics.
BUT YES! The USB interface HAS ONLY TWO ENTRIES!

Ie it is impossible to record beyond the 2 tracks.

I have a table with this basic use, ie connect the computer and any external devices. I do use it occasionally taken for its "witness". I suffirais therefore a stereo pair as I usually do but if I add an extra mic, it will not necessarily going back as recorded with the stereo.
Not a big handicap, but even a small disappointment qd.
The MultiMix USB, for once, give this opportunity.
To know so ....

Non-rackable....Quite small but nothing is miniature...All full sized faders, etc...
The connection types are all analog...1/4 instrument cable inputs/outputs...
EQ is limited to basics but quite workable and impressive...Each input has a trim pot to adjust input...It's a nice sounding adjustment...

There are also built-in FX that are pretty ok...If used sparingly, they are more than adequate...But if you want a wet reverb you might wanna look elsewhere,,,It can do it, just not as convincingly as I hoped...

The build is sufficient but I wouldn't expect it to handle much rough treatment,,,It's not a delicate flower by any standard, just not "built like a tank." Whatever that means now anyway...

UTILIZATION

Everything is accessible and easy to use...

No problems hooking up and was using it 15 minutes after it arrived...

Manual is good and there's a lot of info online via forums and reviews like these...

There is one sticky point I have...It uses a special power connection...That sucks as mine broke and I had to order a special power supply...

SOUNDS

No audible hiss unless you are using it improperly...The EQ is minimal but effective enough...It's not tweak able in any way but that's fine...It's meant to be a bare bones do it all mixer...

The preamps are just fine for live use and home recording...I wouldn't expect to see them anywhere else aside from places of worship (God apparently LOVES Behringer as you see more of their stuff there than Guitar Center ) Anyway, I digress...

To get right to the main point - Does this deliver the goods in a small package? Yes, not my first choice for digital recording but more than fine for a small PA setup... This thing is everything you would hope and more - it's worth more than the asking price in my opinion...

OVERALL OPINION

I like the small size and ease of use most...

I dislike the special power supply and cheap build...

I like that it sounds as good as higher priced competitors just doesn't look or feel like them...If you close your eyes, most wouldn't hear a difference...

Precision? I don't know...It doesn't color the tone of anything beyond adding FX (if desired) and EQ...

I would buy it again and might just have to as I hear something rattling around the inside of mine... True...Still sounds and works fine so I am not sweating it...

I own much better and higher end mixers but there's something really nice about gigging with a cheaper alternative...You can leave your good setup safely at home and use this Behringer gear for shows...Just treat it nicely and you'll have a long,loving relationship...

SOUNDS

Yes, the console is transparent
no, it does not introduce breath
Yes, the EQ is very effective for my taste

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year (I still have the model in gray) and the source for my room, but I like TElement I take him for recovery of my rock band, and I will also take him for my first concert of French music on June 21 in the role of independent blender of the big console for sinthés.

I tried quickly to other consoles, but from my friends "connaiseurs" is a very good console.

The value for money is excellent

yes, without hesitation, a console is perfect, entirely to my taste for the practice.

It has one small default unrelated to the console is that it is steel, so you have a grounding required. I noticed the day before Christmas in my living room, taking me a chestnut. But by pulling a cable from the kitchen (equipped with the Earth) is ok.

THE BEST SMALL CONSOLE TO MY TASTE

- Is the rack?
As dj prcis rack so it is, the supports are provided.

- How many lanes, bus attendant, of dparts, returns ...)?
between:
4 mono inputs XLR / Jack,
2 between stro 2xJack
2 auxiliary inputs Stereo line inputs for use as supplmentaires 2xjack
A line between stro 2xRCA

2 bus outputs Stereo 2xXLR (hand) and 2xJack (Alt 3-4)
1 auxiliary output 2x Jack
A control room output 2xJack
1 Stereo headphone 1xJack

- The qualiseur paramtrique is it?
The graphic equalizer is (3-band frequency drives prdfinies).

- The effects section is it intgre?
The MODEL FX intgre a 24-bit effects processor on the secondary auxiliary channel (post fader). It is possible to route the effect signal to the output main or alt. 100 effects (including a dozen combinations) are offered. You can use the output of the auxiliary channel to connect a external effects can be activated by a footswitch.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
This is my Premire analog console, I quickly understood the operation for easy use. Examples are on offer in the manual to learn how to connect back, using a secondary channel for effects etc etc ... We feel the exprience of a builder who offers material from the trs functional complexity.

- The usual functions are they readily available?
Trs Yes, it is very simple to make a recording using just the faders and equalizer.

SOUNDS

- The console is transparent?
I do not understand, if silent transparent, I would not buy

- Introduced she breath?
I had this lightweight beginners silent murmur of the fact that my silent trs output connects a small sampler sensitive. We must increase the volume output of the console and decrease the sensitivity of the equipment derrire to enjoy the sound capabilities of the console.

- The qualiseur is it effective?
Yes trs. Only three bands but the team Behringer has done his work, mdium covers a wide band of frequencies and dcoupe out the bass and treble.
Trs important pan keeps the energy constant signal plaant the right or left. This allows to use the hand as two mono outputs without loss.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
2 months

- What is the particular feature you like best, the least
I like all the connection possibilities, I like the sound and effects on offer.
I like the fact that less can route the input signals on channels prconfigurs to switch quickly and easily.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, I did not know what type of hardware, I notice the compulsive Audiofanzine to get an ide.

- How do you report qualitprix?
This console can be used to record in the studio and makes sense in concert. The quality models trs is good for under 200 euros.

Chtite table rack,
INPUTS: 4 votes mic / pramp, 2 jack directly taken to amricaine Stereo Systm
OUTPUTS: XLR connectors hand out, control room jack, 2 returns, making for pregnant amricaine HiFi option or USB, headphone jack
Other: 99 Effects, UK 3-band EQ, 48V phantom
There's no more comprehensive a mixer of this size, what's convenient!
Unlike some opinions, I am satisfied with the quality of the pots and works full bebte rgime for 6 months without any failure, lighter every day.

UTILIZATION

No need for manual, no need for USB drivers, all the connections is widely available, even less when having hands on this fine because the format the device looks like an octopus or faster the singer's 5th elments and must reach the buttons.
Nothing to say really ...

SOUNDS

Transparent Console?
Not far away. Not far really, I use it also as always external sound card, I thought to buy a beginners prampli and an external sound card to suit my means (made in China so ...) and not j 'I found a similar Fidler with less than 500 in the wallet. Forcment but it's not Avallon trs trs even stronger when the price
Breath?
Above 0dB, pushing the prampli, yes, there's a little breath, so you need not push rglage if you want to keep the sound pure. A little more than blowing the headphone output but it does not matter because the output CONTRL room is clean.
Finally no matter, I Motes is when even fairly standard
The effects are good but they should be used sparingly if you do not want an old sound compression numrique.
I tried even when many other mixers of less than 200 coasters and trs Xenyx is ahead for her.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and all the sauces.
In the beginners I had just bought for my home sound system to connect all my instruments on the same set of speakers.
Finally, I use it to record in my rp group, complter the sound when you do not transplanted the battery to the DMOS, to mount the new components, it became the sound card outside of my "home-studio-beginners"
Given the quality of sound it gives, no one complained and everything I record has got a rear studio, it's pretty amazing.
Finally when I did not even be as much of this dpendant lment sound of my chain, I tried the Peavey and even near-identical version Behringer Eurorack and I really ears whistled for a vomit sound distorted ... And Xenyx is coming ...
It is not n the bewildered me will find a replaceable!
To listen http://www.myspace.com/vapeurselectriques Looking at the piece of the Rain Falling
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
Last day the bewildered question is Yamaha, but that's because I have become rich in the meantime ... I never sell my Xenyx ... NEVER!

Bin good for the characteristics I'm not going to give it here are arranged on the site Berhinger and all websites selling online.

UTILIZATION

Everything is accessible and asser there instead. The manual is clear as always with Berhinger

SOUNDS

It is the sin, there is a terrible blow and it is aging badly. The equalizer is bad, but to start c well.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it for 2 years and I do not regret the price was very good for beginners. But it's good Berhinger, not Macki therefore should not expect miracles. But it is well worth price. No worries over the

From memory, I think it's rack, but I've never used as such ...

Each channel has an XLR input (MIC) and jack (LINE IN) switch with a low pass 75 Hz (18 dB / oct), plus a trimer +10 to +60.

Each slice (track) has a 3 band equalizer to 12 kHz High, Mid, and Low at 2.5 kHz to 80 Hz

A departure by an aux track with the possibility of starting preroll (before impact I think).
Not to mention the inclusion of effect (as part of the table) and pan control.

There are 4 mono channels, 2 stereo channels (5 / 6 and 7 / 8) plus two channels of "subgroup" (Alt3-4).
In fact when you mute the other tracks, they flip into 3 / 4 ...
There is also an input / output RCA type line to go directly to the soundcard, or to a DAT etc. ...

UTILIZATION

The general setup is pretty simple ... but we need to know a little bit.
Personally, I never interested from near or far to a table and then, at first I was a little lost.
The manual is clear enough, but I'm pretty limited intellectually, and so I waded ...

The functions are accessible
Note that with this model, there is a small USB sound card for laptop, very limited use for music and the one who gave me a headache ...

SOUNDS

For me, the console is too transparent to be used condition ....
I am not used only 2 or 3 channel, stereo line and mic so, after six months, one slice started blowing ... I took him where I had purchased and the failure was due to non-use of this installment ...

A week later, the box I was exchanged against a new one and since everything is fine.

I do not use any of the integrated effects, I tried it and it did not look too bad ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 1 year without any worries (except the portion which blows), and I'm so happy that I bought its big sister the x2222FX bringing me the same satisfaction in greater ...
I had not tried other models before it, I made that choice by watching as you do now, opinions on AudioFanzine and I made a choice plsu economic Music ... in the end, both are waiting for you and it's a choice I do not regret at all.

The specificity and also the reason why I have not sold is that I can possibly leave the "big" at home and carry on holidays or early evening without any dismantling ... and as it is the same brand, I'm not too lost ...
I forgot something important, too, she has a phantom power for my microphone ...
So please, if this is your first purchase, it will be good.
