Excellent board for the price

The dial in compression is super convenient, the board itself is very quiet. It operates like any other mixing console. -The eq is a little sensitive, and the mid sweep is an awesome feature. -IF YOU ARE GETTING THIS FOR THE USB; It only sends two tracks through USB. I was hoping this would be an inexpensive alternative to a Projectmix IO, But it is not. -There is sowftware drivers for it, and dialing in the latency can get tricky, But i just hardlined out to a USB interface. Works flawlessly, and I get two output sources for the mix.

Setting it up

Very nice board so far. I've owned it for nearly a month now and I have to say the set up is fantastic. I'm able to plug in 3 mics, 2 guitars, a bass, a keyboard, and 6 drum mics. I have direct outs feeding from the guitars to the amps. The main out going to a P.A. System and a field recorder. as far as the effects, I haven't messed with them too much yet but the room tone effects / reverb seems to make the musicians happy.

This is a great machine.And the price is wonderful.

This is one the best purchases that I have made lately. The more that I use it the more I love it. It's extremely versatile. It works well as a live mixer and it has become my " Go To" board for recording. As a live board I use the sub mixes and fx busses but in the studio I use it primarily as an 8 in 8 out pre amp to feed a Focusrite Pro 40 that interfaces with ProTools 9. I will admit that I had my doubts about the "one knob" compression at first but it not only works, it works well. This is just one of many Behringer products that I own.

A great little mixer with lots of features.

This is a great little mixer. It is clean and quiet with very good headroom. Back in the 1970s I used to build sound reinforcement mixers. The knobs on the ones I built cost more than this entire mixer does. It is quite a bargain. My only wish is that it had 100 mm faders instead of the short throw faders it comes with. Even so, they are very smooth and quite adequate for the job at hand.

Wow, what a mixer.

What a beauty this is for our gigs. We play outside and it is a real job to get the guitars and vocals all set up, but with this unit, it is very easy and once I am close, minor adjustments are easily made. Everything is readily visible and the slider keys do a good job of fine tuning and balancing out the sound from different mikes and guitars. It is not a true 24 input as I count the number of mike holes it has, but for up to 12 units, you have good control. Another friend just ordered a 20 hole unit which is like a 36 input.

Really happy with its functions.

For an Analog board, this thing is tops. It has a lot of extras that normally show up on mixers that cost a lot more. Would recommend this to anyone needing a very user-friendly and dependable sound board. Does a lot more than it appears to do.

Best budget mixer available, period!

To start with, this is not a true 24 channel mixer, however, there are 24 inputs on this board. There are only 10 mic preamp xlr ports, with another two L/R inputs for a keyboard or similar. That being said, there are some things you can do to maximize your inputs and that's where this board really shines. By using Y cables, you can combine things like backup vocals or some drum mics into one feed, and get more sound into the board. One of the things I like most about this board is the fact that it has a 4 bus structure, providing the ability to personalize 4 monitor feeds. I bought this because I plan to run in ear monitors with my band, and we can get a customized mix for each member using this setup. This is the best small format mixer available!

Awesome for the price.

I've had this for about 6 months now. No road use, just moved once and it's doing great. Enough functions for the price it fetches. I use it for just one mic and a set of headphones, and then with every channel filled, and am happy all around. I'm not a professional sound man, just a band guy that's looking for a mixer to get all the channels into one place so we can run them through the biggest god damn speakers we can find and break some windows with the sound waves. So far I haven't run into any limitations inherent with the mixer itself that you wouldn't already know by the number of channels, fx offered, grouping, etc. USB even works well, but you can only send the main mix through the USB, nothing else specifically.

Weak effects, but great mixer.

It's a great little mixer for the price. The effects are a bit anemic and VERY basic. That being said, I'm enjoying this one!

Great Board for Live Sound

My experience with Behringer boards begins in roughly 2001. I have used their boards of all sizes from the little X502 up to the Eurodesk-sized boards, and have personally owned five of them in that time. I have never had any problems with any of their products, and have always been happy with their performance. I've used them in live sound applications for theatrical productions, for some recording, and for live concerts. They offer numerous signal routing options which gives you a lot of flexibility. When I found myself playing rhythm guitar in a nine-piece band, I needed as many channels as possible in a rack-mountable board. This, to my knowledge, is the largest rack-mountable board made by Behringer. Each time I buy a new board of theirs, it's not because there is something wrong with the one I have, I simply need more channels or subgroups. I mounted this board directly into the top panel of my SKB case. I like that it has a light socket on the top although I was a little irritated that it didn't come with a gooseneck light. The USB recording functionality is cool, making this board worthy of being used in a recording application as well. I've always found the Behringer boards are sturdy and produce quality sound at a price much less than other brands of similar quality. I highly recommend this, and any other Behringer board that suits your requirements in size or the number of channels, subgroups, or any other parameter.
