I wouldn't waste your money on behringer's
feedback destroyers. I've been using them for a while now on my
monitor mixes, and it's just a complete pain. It's ok if you have a graphic as well as the destroyer...that way you can still prevent it from taking too much of the "life" out of your mix. Sure you can save time with them, and if you know your frequencies really well you can use it as a 10
channel parametric eq, but I'd personally rather have a graphic. Plus these things seem to always attack the wrong
feedback. For me all my filters end up being used to go after something that was similar to
feedback, or even
feedback from guitar amps bleeding into the vocals mics.
Now I don't know about behringers fancy new graphic with the auto
feedback detection, but I've had the older one...without
feedback detection...in my rig for a long time, and it has never failed me. *knock on wood* Lately I've been losing a lot of faith in behringer due to random things failing. I stopped using my behringer 32
channel board since 2 aux sends just completely died on me...plus the tape in and out were wired backwards (so in was really out). The
feedback destroyers have had a few connectors fail (the
XLR ones...1/4" held up just fine), and the outboard preamps for the digital board are putting a very weird metallic buzzing sound on everything. I never know what's going to fail next with them.
I'm not one to rag on this lower
level gear..I know people need to buy what they can afford..I'm one of them.......but behringer has really been dissapointing me. I buy most of their things due to the features...but you gotta really look into the product before you buy it for a specific use. The thing I loved about the digital board was all the onboard processing and effects. But if you actually use it you find out all the aux sends are POST eq, and processing. What good is that for monitors?
But there are some behringer products that work rather well......the graphic that I have being on of them, and their direct boxes work really well. And the lighting board is a really good deal for the price.
