Default Re: behringer

I'm not a fan of Behringer at all. Their gear is noisy, and it tends to be made with cheap components that will go bad. Their support is anything but stellar. They mass produce all their equipment in batches of thousands in China, and the quality control is basically nil. You'd be lucky to not have at least one product dead out of the box.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for in most cases. Behringer isn't an exception. A better board choice would have been a Mackie SR24-4VLZ-PRO, an A&H PA28, or a Soundcraft (not cheap!) LX7. Your best bet in terms of price would be the Mackie, but if you are in Europe (which it looks like you are), it really is a dead heat between the two brands. I have a preference toward Mackie because I like the layout and build quality of their mixers. Their active speakers sound fantastic, also.
