"My advice is junk it and get a small Mackie. Your ears will thank you!"

I dunno if I agree with the assumption that Behringer is junk. Sure it's cheap. But I've got 2 Behringer mixers, (one is the 802) some processing gear, two subwoofers, XM8500 mics & other stuff from Behringer, & I have yet to be disappointed with any of their gear.

My friend whom I also play in a band with runs a concert sound company. He has an Allen & Heath board for the big jobs. His smaller board is a Behringer. He sold his Mackie 1604-VLZ & kept the Behringer because the mic preamps were quieter.

I've also A/B compared the Behringer XM8500 mics to Shure's Beta 58 & find them to be pretty much identical in terms of sonics. I'm not the only one who has come to that conclusion.

Just 'cuz it's cheap doesn't mean it sucks.

Cheers,
Bobbo :-)
