All user reviews for the Behringer DDX3216

a few gaps in the paramtrage (compared to 01V96), I find it very complte (unless also among the spdif in and hits that take up among others).

USE

Very easy to use, I find it very intuitive. (Easier than yamaha o it sometimes gets lost in the menus if you do not use the same model all the time)

SONORITS

The pramps are transparent (no breath (-72 with the substantive gains - calculus with my HDSP9652 RME ADAT))
The converters are very well (sound recordings sound good in general)

NOTICE GLOBAL

For almost 5 years of use (and yes, I bought the very beginning 2000 with the ADAT card! So do not complain about the price quality for I am very happy even this price (except now the 01V96 is almost the same price as the DDX3216 there 5 years 500 1000 see prs) I have never encountered worries, even at ventillo who has never made a monster sound! (perhaps the first models were stronger than 600 new versions!)

UTILIZATION

Can be used without doc! so little that we have a little experience numriques consoles.
Everything is clear, logical and accessible.
The manual is clear and we even offer courses on DIFFERENT effects / compression.

SOUNDS

Very accurate 24-bit converters
Very suitable filters and effects hallucinate.
Good dynamic

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 4 months
The +: automation! effects, compressors on each slice and especially ergonomics!
The -: an extension for 16 classic tracks suplmentaires.
I used a 01v and believe me there is no picture! Best EQ, effects, filters, notch Lighter and larger, long-fader + ...
Report qualitprix: Imbat!
I think it nya no better in this price range, although any dpend requirements of each. For my part I use in home studio to mix prods style "house music" and the DDX3216 is perfect for me!

It is rack mountable (mounting kit included the original for that matter)
16 between base 32 with optional cards. 6 out of base (2 hands four omni), with 16 options. 12 on the insert 12 in XLR. Dparts to 4, 4 dparts effects, return of 4 "Stereo effect.
Type connectors. 12 XLR, RCA 4 in between. 2 XLR output jack doubled in sym + 4 omni in jack bal.
Equaliser / gate / comp increments. the 4-band parametric eq is.
4 Intgr multi-effects.
numrique in 24bits/96Khz
Automation supports
Synchro noon worldclock.

UTILIZATION

Config gnrale relatively simple. Affordable even for someone who has never had a console numrique (my case).
Common functions easily accssibles, you still have to get used to four layers of faders.
Manual in French quite well done but a little redundant.

SOUNDS

Converters rather transparent. The overall sound is quite "cold". test on FBT 400MAXX for sound and Tannoy Reveal active home studio.
The effects are suitable for the live. As against the studio, it is better to use plugins (I have no hard impact). The reverbs and delays are convincing live, I do not use many other effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently (two weeks). The good thing is the flexibility and the sectional. I use it for my concerts, recalling scnes is a joy, the sound is trs clear, distinct. In this configuration the cold overall (relative) of the sound is almost an advantage. The 4 omni outputs are very practical for circuits individual returns live and recording circuits headphone.
I use it for recording, without the effects, but the gates and are practical and prcis eq.
I record all of the same voices through a pramp lamps.
She also used to control surface in the cable by noon in my PC.

The ratio quality / price is good trs. The converters are above those of a 01V (with which I am making some records). The effects are just right to live. The routing possibilities are many tudies trs.
I access a Ramsa suprieure DA7 is good in terms of sound quality and even I / O. but for the price the DDX3216 trs is doing well.

Therefore rsum versatile console trs, trs good config in Live, home studio so well with a good shoulder pramp taken for "critical" and externalities more "noise" . What do trs good concerts (no recess at Stade de France) and good small models.

You will definitely find all rponses your questions on the behringer site or by typing www.ddx3216.com.
I bought one, despite what people say about behringer (copieur. ..) this is not envy console 01 of a yam by-example. It is tonnament of quality including and especially between the floor of. It is very easy manipulation, visual trs. It gre 32 channels, it RSDLP 16 inputs, 4 outputs REALLY floating one hand, spdif ... automation, (+ log). Weak point I found the compressors and still taking the fold ...
In calir inovason is not but you a lot for your money!
In addition the business is at the top followed, download latest version software ....
The technical cartristiques numrique must beware and whatever the brand. The important thing is your exact and you're not
(I use it mainly for small live performance, or for pre-mix)

OVERALL OPINION

Np

Very complete, nothing to say at that level ...

UTILIZATION

The approach is quite intuitive for a user who moves from analog to digital. It can be used fairly quickly at first but it will take complete control, as with everything, spend some time with the manual is good and fairly complete.

SOUNDS

The converters are good enough. The effects do not sound too bad provided you do not abuse it and put too much everywhere. Personally and in my home studio, I use external reverbs and compressors (TC Electronics and ART) that I find much higher. Also I do not make my final mix with the DD3216, I transfer my tracks to Nuendo and I mix with the effects Nuendo I think they sound better ... matter of taste. on the other hand in sound "live" this console gives me satisfaction to all points of view.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year since the beginning of little problems I had not too serious but annoying after a while.
- The light flashes on the screen and eventually die after a few minutes.
- The CHANNELS 23 and 24 remain in pair mode and it is impossible to separate them.

The factory pre-sets, very useful to begin with, promised in the documentation was not present in OS console. However, I have been able to get on the site Berhinger and load easily into the machine.
That said this is a beautiful beast for the price!
A remake? with the same budget certainly yes

All of www.ddx3216.com CHARACTERISTICS

UTILIZATION

The machine configuration is quite simple and intuitive once you have understood the mode of operation of faders on four layers (a good half hour to set up 16 channels of 6 attractions diffrent rglages with EQ and effects). The internal routing is complete and trs allows many configurations and mixing Different. Function calls (to, FX, Dynamics) are simple and LCD rgler afffiche always what we are doing.

SOUNDS

All ingrdients an analog console, a patch, a processor and a dynamic effect processor is runic in one case even without the hassles of cables. The effects are especially interesting trs for live, they may be less Defines some external rack, including the Tagus compression. For registration you should use some peripherals cot for a more welcoming. Because the converters are good quality and well transcribe the dynamics but the sound is a little cold nanmoins from a console anologique.

OVERALL OPINION

J'utlilise complment the DDX3216 in a MX-9000, the ddx sourtout I use for mixing live band, or to return management. For recording I use the MX-9000 that allows me to keep the warmth of its original. The DDX is a good console trs numrique for home studio, and the pre-production of contemporary music. It will be a fair bit to record a jazz band in the studio. The price and functions it offers great years ahead. Do not forget that c THE FIRST numrique Behringer console, and is much more enjoyable than a 01-V Yamaha did not have its first test shot ... Forget to keep the OS of the machine day and load factory presets found on the behringer site!

CHARACTERISTICS: see site Behr
regret: no physical connection to analog external effect. There's much ass 4 outputs default assigns dpart aux1-2-3-4, but no return other than on the conventional routes. It's pretty boring to me. And if we assign to these outputs to dpart, we lose the possibility to assign buses. For people who do not have a sound card equipped with ADAT port (available as an option on the DDX3216) was boring.

UTILIZATION

Simple to use. It was my Premire digital and the small 50-page manual is almost useless.
Everything is hand door.
Regrets:
between the numrique spdif can not route as a somewhat boring way 13/14
the spdif out is necessarily the master a little too boring
I also regret that it is not possible to make a real assignment from other than group 8 (enters from the top has had t).

Otherwise, the happiness bar. The memory, automation ...
The four effects, compressors for work by an amateur like mine, it widely. enough. Economy are made of cable!

SOUNDS

Then the high dbat converters ....
Well not a great ear, I was not shock me. But as I read it I know in the 21st century o ad da converters are either good or trs good!
Pramp on mic, I do not care, I do not branch as synths and bar ...

The effects are decent enough and plenty of guys like me whose only ambition is to make music for themselves.

OVERALL OPINION

I just have (1 week). I am still discovering, but it is so simple that I think I have seen the biggest dj.
I think acqurir ADA8000 extension that plugs into the port to be 8 adat between analog and more (16 is not just for me).
Automation and especially the memory, I believe that today would be difficult without it

Interesting feature in front of the 01V
inserts for each channel, automation ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use for who knows a minimum digital consoles (particularly Yamaha)

SOUNDS

The converters are very cold compared to what is being done (01V96, Tascam DM24).
The highs are too aggressive and particularly present (correct on almost all channels)

Compressor / gate enough to live and the small home studio. I still advise to a "real" compressor insert on the slopes significant (voice for example).
The reverb is terrible, suddenly I do not use. I use a TC M2000 in insert (beucoup much better, but not the same price I admit).
A good point: a gate / compressor independent voice. that's interesting.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in May (used). She served twenty times and it broke down. Since I hassle to repair it. I request information to Behringer (components, prices, ...) and also the SOVENAM (SAV France), but no one answers, a short galley.
I think it's the PSU that is the problem, but I do not even have the opportunity to check.
The sovenam is € 60 per hour + parts = + tranbsport far too expensive for me right now.
I'm really starting to hate Behringer, I'm not one to spit on a copy or brand because it is cheap, but I also had problems with their patches, their small console (eurorack mx802) . that's a lot for the same brand. Yet I take care of my stuff really.
In short, an interesting console on paper, not bad when it works.

Digital 24-bit 48KHz
Operation with Cubase SX2 without worry! (If you pass a little time to parameterize the controller with cubase)

UTILIZATION

This is where I found this console more than well! Having bump on several digital consoles, I must admit (unlike other reviews) that the grip is rather fast and intuitive! In case of problems, a look in the manual and here we go again. For me, the visual is ample and clear (again contrary to other opinions) and the reading is done without concern (knobs, seen, if only one pan ,...) place well ahead.

SOUNDS

For converters, a certain coldness should be noted, but probably due to good quality, but a lack of personality on the following electronic! Is this really a defect to us who are perpetually looking for a great quality? EQ side, nothing to report the disturbance, properly adjusted, they work without worry (again contrary to other opinions) side dynamics, for the price it goes well above other console even OCCAZ sell more expensive ( like 01 ...) I have taken the "pros" on utlisées def prods and I defy anyone to hear the difference! (After some treatment on some apps that I would mention it ...)
I drop a little note to my lack of particular color in the sound (but not at Neve!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I am more than satisfied as it follows me without any problems for pro prods.
I like the speed of work and mastery, and the good momentum for this award.
I like the least effect because too .... cheap! (Nothing to do with the lexicon eventide or ..) but they can be of great help in some cases.
For the price, I would not hesitate to repeat this choice because it is out of all situations with varying degrees of success.
For my part, I sold it to move to a smaller config because I work on larger than that in the studio, and I want the bare minimum with me!

For specifications, see the notice or other behringer site ... Frankly for the price it's downright insane, almost three times cheaper than 01V96, and has not to be ashamed of its features (even if it does not work in 24/96).
But ...... The build quality is more than average, which explains the note

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, very intuitive and the manual is not too bad.

SOUNDS

Converters ok (it's not Peru but for the price).
effects are pathetic, especially those who manage the dynamics (compressor in particular). The eqs troubleshoot, but that's it.
The reverbs .... better to spend its way as the rest of the effects

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for almost a year and frankly ....
She had an original default (power supply failure that caused the screen) and after 2 REDUCED both sav, I'm so cracked that I request a refund at the store. The features are nice, the price very interesting but there's a reason. After talking to a lot of stores, most of them admits to having had problems with this console.
For the price, look at the Yamaha 01V to OCCAZ, maybe a little less good on paper but honestly much more reliable.

See other opinions

UTILIZATION

Unlike other opinion, it is very simple and far more ergonomic than o1v.
Having used all consoles and numriques yamaha it, live, studio, small scne style piano bar or large type scne 20kW, no worries, and a quick extra.

SOUNDS

The converters are nice but too cold, which is why I couple with two converters a rack lamp.
Effects and are equa to live, but not in the studio.
The dynamic works as it should, but always with the problem of coldness.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half, and frankly we shall adopt to tell me about the yamaha o2r96 apart, but the price is not the same carrment.
Small point which is a shame, behringer not come out the plug to turn it into a control surface for Pro Tools.
For the price, the best plan of march.

Rackable (using two brackets supplied)
16 analog tracks (including 12 and 4 XLR jack)
16 digital tracks
16 bus
4 Auxiliary
Parametric Equalizer + gate + compressor on each track

4 built-in effects processors.

Sampling at 44.1 or 48 KHz
By snapshot and dynamic automation (dream)
MIDI sync, adat, SPDIF

UTILIZATION

Come from the world of analog, it did not take me more than half an hour to get used to it. The use is very intuitive: you select a track and there is everything you want.
The routing possibilities are virtually endless.
The manual is more than adequate (or surplus)

SOUNDS

The converters are doing their job. The preamps too.
The effects are very useful and very often interressants in my case.
"Very good" to ehancer, the Plate reverb and the stereo chorus.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months now and I do not know how I have waited so long to buy it.
For the price (650 € in MusicStore) is the best console that can be found.

I am not at all agree with the last review (which I suspect the author had never touched the table). The DDX3216 a very good restaurant with a quality / price ratio unbeatable ...

I would do it again in a picosecond choice

The trs are CHARACTERISTICS INTERESTED especially next to the price, but watch 32 channels of 16 original and analog, 16 digital and following interfaces are optional practices and automation snapshots trs ditto , I possde since 2002 can be a cause of that I am bored with, apparently, a problem that cuts power to all functions of the console unless the fan is left on the way!
The finish is rather average, Behringer's what!

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use for a numrique, manual practically useless, good ergonomics trs.

SOUNDS

Its rather cold, not great converters! The fever is "screaming" no finesse in the high frquences Mylen The argument at the legalization ... having said that given the precision of qualisation is normal!
M'tendrais I do not simply about the effects of "toys" I got quality level but this can add more points thanks to the inserts on analog channels.
The compressor is pretty good and by a more even if it is still rather brutal in its application and the gate a lot and also available on each channel but be warned it is a gate and not a noise gate that allows choose the normal frquence but considering the price of the console in it even.

OVERALL OPINION

That makes three and a half years that I possde, she provides good service despite the problem of reliability of the power supply certainly, I could compare it with a Tascam DM 24 and c ' is the day and night of course!
I prfre this product is the ratio quality price and ultra easy grip
With the exprience I would do no not have that choice for this lack of warmth in the sound especially compared to the DM 24 is now 2100 new without Bargraph, it is certainly 3x more expensive but if you your demanding on the quality of its go your way.
Against you by your just a fan and looking for a price above all, go there with closed eyes!

-Not try to Racker
Some limit-e / s analog direct outputs have fun but also does good is a digital and that price should not ask for the moon.
Conection-levels, trs well nothing to say.
Eq them lack a bit of precision for my taste
Upscaling in 24/48 Sufis largely for my own use
-The internal automation I have not used, for against the console used to control the mixer of Cubase and midi faders motoriss after the mix is ​​internal gnial (nb: no HUI mode fashion so tlcomande not available for pro tools ... grrrrr: /

UTILIZATION

Dja-for anyone who used a mix numrique table using the DDX is a breeze, trs intuitive for those coming from analog must well faloir 5 / 10 minutes more to get used to the concept
I do not remember not having opened the manual

SOUNDS

-I found rather transparent converters, taken on acoustic 12-string with a large diaphragm microphone Chinese, trs aproach its really natural sound (at least the end of what my ears still hear saturax guitar sound natural)
Trs pramplis them are clean as broadly comparable to those of my digi 002
For effects-not bad sharck the dsp (the Memme than creamware, or on some amps high ranges like H & K Zenter) do their job but nothing more, for against the fact that there is a dynamic section for each is really great.

OVERALL OPINION

I can use it for a prs 3 months
Most:

- Dynamic per
- 4 multis can DPAN
- The "meter band" at the fader Intgr
- Small and flexible
Price-quality RAPORT absolutely unbeatable on the nine

les:

-The fact that the input output S / P DIF are not assignable or you want *
-That the e / s numriques spares either otpion (since 16 tracks of their consoles are DDIS)
-Number of analog output limits 6 and spares including 4 rpart bus / to
The fan-not silencieu.
-Not compatible pro tools (especially since their last mulate the control surface so it'll have HUI probably not much more expensive to upgrade a kit like Mackie HUI has for its control surface)

Response to sebdu25:

The console is "capable" of 32 inputs and 16 independent outputs.
But like all digital consoles, it is equipped with only a few inputs and outputs "physical", the other inputs and outputs by a digital means of digital interfaces to plug in the back of the console.

For the 32 entries, it is necessary to add racks of physical inputs converting analog signals into digital signals, and connect their digital output interfaces plugged into the console.

Originally from the console comes with:
Entries: 12 mono inputs with XLR mic preamp (+ jacks) and 2 stereo line inputs (4 Jacks).
Outputs: 2 MAIN outputs, 4 outputs patchable (eg, auxiliary) and two digital stereo outputs also patchable, Phone +, Control Room, etc..

Extensions possible:
Can be added such as a rack and ADA8000 Pro8 Digital Interface ADT1616.
We then have 8 inputs mono mic / line and 8 extra XLR line outputs further.
So a total of 20 mono inputs + stereo inputs of the console.

You can still add a new rack ADA8000 connected to the same interface ADT1616.
We then have 8 inputs mono mic / line and 8 extra XLR line outputs further.

So a total of 28 mono inputs + 4 stereo inputs of the console, making good 32 independent input channels. But we will more than double the budget entry ...

As for outputs, we then have taken much more "physical" than the 16 independent output channels that computer console can handle.
We must therefore decide to send signals to each outlet.

I do not know this particular point, but I feel that we can send to choose one of 16 digital channels on each physical outputs available. On the score of 20 out multiple broadcast the same signal.

32 inputs and 16 independent outputs in this small volume and the price is not bad! ...

UTILIZATION

Ditto

SOUNDS

The sound on the whole is appropriate, with a signal / noise ratio very correct.
on the other hand, in my case, problems of cross talk between the slices and even between the bus! (It's relatively quiet, although still easily detectable)

OVERALL OPINION

Apparently, my case is not a generality. I've had problems with the DDX3216.
She broke down at least 3 times, and actuellemnt is totally unusable.
I bought it in 2002 at a price of € 2300 !!!!!
That is why I have some balls ...
Now it is true that given the current new price (in € 600 / 700), provided it works perfectly (Which seems to be the case for many users) is a very good deal with a quality / price ratio unbeatable.

For this section, information is widely available on the Web ...
In this respect, it fits my needs well enough, I added the card to connect my ADAT sound card RME HDSP 9652!

UTILIZATION

Config. is very simple! This table is very easy Taking Charge!

SOUNDS

The sound is cold, but the restite is clean & clear ... that's all I expected (for the price ...)!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two 2.5 years ago, each teams with ADAT card.
One has never pos no problem (apart from some rare extinctions, but worry redmarrage)!

The other, however, silent on dballage down (& any dusts !?!?!)... SAV return the next day.
I reu another 2 months APRS. She Bugu trsrgulirement ds the first day (clips of VU meters, frquentes extinctions, failures of the motor faders, etc. ....)... return sender APRS year (I'm patient, but she ended up not Get You Started ...)!!!
So I reu another 6 weeks later ... for 8 months & she did, for the moment, not possible ... oufffff worry!

In short, to be "quiet", it is better to buy two (condition, Obviously, the usefulness of having ...)!
For its price, it makes all of the same good service ... but reliability issue is the lottery, and the better to have a "spare tire"! Finally this is just my opinion ...

Console Rack 32 outs in 16 (24-bit 48Khz max)
12 pramps of fairly good quality with analog insert + 2 Stereo jack with gain in
4 stro internal multi fx (including 2 free reverbs)
4 omni outputs (assignable)
16 internal buses
A master (XLR)
CR (symtriques jacks)
1 headphone
Word clock in out
spdif (lanes 13 and 14)
SMPTE
2 slots for options (ADAT TDIF AESEBU)

UTILIZATION

This console works well trs, trs is intuitive and does ncssite the manual for some opration routing (if you want to assign to auxs omni outputs while being able to equalize (the remaining much simpler on the Yamaha and others).
The meters on each slice to be very practical and multi-function knobs make a lot of service.

SOUNDS

The 12 pramp are transparent but lack a bit of momentum, which is easily corrected with the compressors, eqs (4 bands paramtriques) and gate of each slice. The converters are fairly sound and cohrents round (much better than the company 01V and my taste more than 2,500 are more than dcevantes ...) no pb clock and sync (same if it is better to clock in on the word prsonus for example), sound effects plutt not bad, except some reverb in the long values ​​.... The connection is rather poor (as on all others) but with 16 channels of ADAT cards 190
but happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it to record sound and moving a couple presonus digimax, PC (Nuendo) and 24 HD for about a year. By comparing it to Yamaha (01V, 02R ...) I use rgulirement I think it sounds far too good (or better). The weak points for me are:
- The only way spdif assignable 13/14
- The failure to process (compress eq fx) and 16 internal buses that serve ultimately as subgroups
- The quality of production remains below the trs MODELS Japanese and others (especially do not open !!!!!!!).
I think even when it's a great product (no competitor on the market!) 575 and ashamed for our German friends: what more?

a few gaps in the paramtrage (compared with 01V96), I find trs complte (except SPDIF input and also the tape that take place in other entries).

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, I find it intuitive trs. (Easier than the yamaha o one sometimes gets lost in the menus if you do not use the same MODEL all the time)

SOUNDS

The pramps are transparent (no breath (-72dB gain with background - calculate with my RME HDSP9652 ADAT in))
The converters will rev well (taken from his sound good in general)

OVERALL OPINION

For almost five years of use (and yes, I bought it in 2000 while beginners with ADAT card! So do not complain of the quality price because I am me trs happy even this price (except that now the 01V96 is almost the same price as the DDX3216 5 years ago 500 prs see 1000) I have never encountered worries, the same ventillo level that has never made a noise monster (can be the first model taient stronger than 600 new releases!)

Is Rack? yes
What is the type of connection (RCA, Jack, XLR ...)? XLR microphone inputs, line inputs for Jack
How many lanes, bus attendant, departures, returns ...)? 16 channels in native range in 32 with a card and two ADA8000 adat.
The parametric equalizer is it? full 4-band parametric
An effects section is it integrated? ... For digital consoles: 4 multi-effects built acceptable.
Automation is supported? yes

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple? yes
The usual functions are they easily accessible? very
The manual is clear and sufficient? ... Little use: it is an intuitive console.

SOUNDS

Overall sound quality is good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have three, and used live outdoors for 4 years. The live and the outdoors are demanding circumstances, and I had 2 times of trouble, but for reasons that would have impacted any console (console in the water, and console forgotten in the sun, after drying and cooling, ddx return to life!).
Personally, I prefer the interface of ddx that of yam. that have a slightly higher sound quality.
The value for money of these consoles is unbeatable. They have a reputation dragged major downtime, I did not have this concern. I have three, then, and I bought in a failed, I repaired and works every day since. I said all along, alerted on the forums for information failures in the heating power supplies, I grafted additional fans on my boxes in my lim consoles.
I would do if this choice? yeah, definitely. I look also forward to X32 the behringer.

For CHARACTERISTICS, visit the Behringer.
It is a console numrique, do not forget to synchronize with the rest of the hardware.
Otherwise, some will say that is the Behringer!

UTILIZATION

Me, I have AIM routing functions, safeguarding paramtres MDIA * Smart and visualization of the level on each channel.

* With adapter PMCI

SOUNDS

I use it with the expansion card connects to a 1616 ADT ALESIS HD24.
The 3216 synchronizes the HD24.
Personally, I 'm very satisfied. Not seeking any color in the sound, but plutt transparency, it suits me well!
When it is 100% mastery operation, it provides good service.
Trslgre coloration in the acute to the headphone jack.
The fan of the original noise was cold, I have replaced by an equivalent MODEL and now ... silence! (12volt-100-mA 40mmX40mm)
Available at Conrad REFERENCE: 53 14-29 73 at a price of 9 Euros.

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing to do with the consoles diffrent Behringer that I tried. The DDX3216 has convinced me its price over quality.
I use it for about two years (every day) from the fan, no worries.
I keep my and my mackie soundcraft in relief, but at the risk of shock to some, I prfre my 3216!
There are better, but that is much more expensive .....

Added 10 fvrier 2006

I possde this console since 2002 and I 'm used almost every day.
I record concerts often "classic" in DIFFERENT places (churches, chapels) where the temprature and the rates are quite hygromtrie nfastes for the electronics.
The heckling by van dplacements somewhat DDX3216!
Well, not a failure, not the least abnormal!
I use it mainly input / output interface via ADAT numriques 1616 with routing functions.
The techniques DIFFERENT problem faced by some of you, s' explained by the application of a pricing policy "trs" emissions that fact that Chinese manufacturers Behringer consult DIFFERENT . Thus, despite the specifications imposed by Behringer, making this console is in Ingala of SERIES SERIES.
If we can criticize dmarches commercial products of the brand, it is difficult to criticize the console that benefitted from an excellent qualitprix.

features

This in my opinion the most interesting part of this console, though different from his most famous rival 01V96 (la01v Classic does not even compare yours), it is nonetheless equally useful and sometimes more simple.

the ddx features 16 mix busses which opens many possibilities, but surprisingly, no routing is allowed on these buses which requires them to return each bus in a slice if you want to take advantage of routing options (the least for assigning the hand)

it has 32 channels with 16 "virtual" home that can operate entirely provided you have an interface.
if using the 32 channel mixer with external sources, we can no longer enjoy the 16canaux "virtual" to mix buses, or the fx which requires an external treatment for dynamic eq and other treatments offered by the machine .

no grid patch compared to the 01V96, we can assign the inputs on faders in groups of 8, and the PSU ghosts walking by 2x6 3x4 cons for yamaha.

cepandant, how to use the console is more open than the Japanese graces encoders on each channel and the other six rotary encoders and push under the screen, you can have control on the selected channel 4 start (at or fx) and a departure on all other channels which is more comfortable on stage.

the machine is very thoughtful, very intuitive, very easy to access and although no longer distributed, still deserves its place in our regulated (for models that works in any case ...)

48khz and 24 bit conversion is the maximum available, 4 internal effects are present whatever the configuration, the cepandant fx 3 and 4 do not dsposent reverbs.

everything can be made using the fx or circuits as onstage, but it obviously sacrifices the effect fx channel selected. can therefore have a total of 8 circuits independent mixes

and it is rackabe flycase proposed by Thomann is very well designed

Word clock sync by internal or external via the slot extensions.

UTILIZATION

very simple to use, and adaptability to the style of chaqun: eg

you can choose to display either the channel parameters to first select either by touching the fader or encoder of the channel.

the manual is very clear and explicit

all important functions are the same and a little more ...

a statement on the mine: it tends to become unstable hot, so I removed the cover from the slot 2 in order to install additional ventillo which solves this problem.

I think having the forum and the opinions that this console has the capacity and performance alternative to the 01V96 which is expensive but in return for its price, you have to fiddle a bit to get some reliability
yamaha It's expensive but it works and you buy you ask yourself questions
ddx the other hand is cheap but it you offset the financial gap that inevitably creates a gap in reliability

SOUNDS

RAS on sound, transparent and dynamic, so you hear everything and its opposite ...

OVERALL OPINION

I know very well on small 01V96 but the LS9 and M7CL, I had the opportunity to work on vista studer 2000, harrison (film studio mix) and some other nice machines incomparable

I like my little cepandant ddx offering me a lot of possibilities for a lower prices despite the hacks

Note that worries me one encountered on this machine seem to be very often due to the PSU heats can very well deport this one out of the console and ventilate more efficassement has provided you know what ing.

it is a choice of mc Guiver sound broomsticks abstain.
