"I'm happy with it."

Feature:
This thing may be the most versatile mixer i've ever used; channel inserts, independant aux sends, two fx processors, and twice as many channels at half the price. But one problem that has been driving me crazy is that the control room out is only one headphone jack, and the neat built in talk to mic, is only send able to the aux sends. That means that i have to route the preformers headphones through aux 1/2, and turn the playback channels aux levels on and off repeatedly, and i had to get a goofy adapter for my monitors.

Quality:
bought brand new. nothing wrong at all, and after about 5 months, nothing has gone wrong.

Value:
its absurd what you get for your money. Just like every other thing behringer makes, its a steal at half the price. I was sure i was buying a piece of crap, but i couldn't resist the 24 channel goodness. Well, i certainly wont be returning it any time soon.

Desirability:
I cant seem to resist more channels and more gear, so it was almost an impulse buy at the time, ( a sure test of desirability). Although, silver isn't really my color.

Sound:
sounds great. The "invisible pre's" add no color to your signal at all. The channel eq's are nothing spectacular, but the main eq has proven really especially useful when using more than one mic.

Ease of Use:
my previous experience with behringer boards, made the learning curve dismal, but learning to use the first one was a bit more engulfing than i would have liked, and i can only assume this model would be worse for a beginner.

Support:
I've only dealt with my dealer about this product.

Overall:
starting an analog, DAW based studio? Don't 1000's for a yamaha or mackie or whatever? Behringer has your back. Its not pro, and it doesn't claim to be, but it get the job done with little cash, minimal hassle, and with the quality you would expect from any other middle class mixer.

"Saved my meeting"

Feature:
Efx only can be routed to the main mix or the aux send not the subgroups... in my situation this is a big deal same with the 20-24 channels i run a recording system off subgroups 1-2 and video camera system off 3-4 , so to me channels 20-24 are no good to me and the effects are great but can't get to the recorded ( that i have found yet.)

Quality:
SoFar So Good. feels soild the faders feel better than my mackie

Value:
$450 any Questions

Desirability:
LOVE THE "blue phantom Power light". i love the look nice color combo

Sound:
I had the mackie 1642vlz pro and i have to say it was noisey compared to this board. the head room is tremendous and this board saved me i was having touble in the middle of a week long meeting (church) i chucked the other stuff (virtualizer pro, composer pro, and the mackie) and replaced it with this board. i it sounded so much better. crisper sound the efx are just enough for me.

Support:
manual is lacking a bit. haven't called service

Overall:
the routing is really the only thing this looses marks on but for me this is a big deal... if i can figure out a way around it it would be a 9.5-10

News
Behringer's new SL2442FXPRO and SL3242FXPRO consoles unite studio perfection with live performance. They are loaded with technology like studio-grade acoustically "Invisible" IMP Mic Preamps, ULN (Ultra Low-Noise) circuitry, dual 24-bit Virtualizer-level FX processors and an amazing feedback detection system. Features include incredible connectivity, a talkback section, comprehensive solo-in-place and PFL functions, 9-band stereo graphic EQ and even a mono subwoofer output with a sweepable low pass filter. Also, all mic channels can be muted during breaks by pressing a single button, and you can still play music via CD/tape inputs. The SL2442FX-PRO provides 24 channels (16 mono + 4 stereo), 4 subs and 4 pre/post aux sends per channel, 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids and low cut filters for the mono channels, high-headroom stereo input channels with 4-band EQ plus additional stereo input channels with level and pre-fader aux facilities. The SL3242FX-PRO is an even larger 32-channel (24 mono + 4 stereo) version. SL consoles are built with a super-sturdy metal cabinet, and an efficient, oversized power supply that automatically adapts to mains voltages (100 to 240V).

Behringer SL Series Mixers
What was previously available as either a studio or a live mixer is now combined in our revolutionary SL Series mixing consoles. It's an entirely new generation of mixing consoles that provides unheard-of audio quality and unifies a complete feature set from both worlds in just one unit, giving you an extremely powerful tool for both studio and live applications. So you don't need to decide now where to use it later.

Designed to Conquer Both Worlds
Both the EURODESK SL3242FX-PRO and the SL2442FX-PRO embody top-notch, no-compromise designs like the studio-grade, acoustically 'Invisible' IMP Mic Preamps and 24-bit dual FX processors of VIRTUALIZER fame. In addition, they boast 4 subgroups and 4 pre/post switchable aux sends per channel, mono channels featuring 3-band EQs with semi-parametric mids and low cut filters, fullfledged high-headroom stereo input channels with 4-band equalization plus additional stereo input channels with level and pre-fader aux facilities.

Studio Perfection
For the studio, the new SL consoles feature two high-end 24-bit FX processors, unbelievable connectivity, an integrated talkback section plus comprehensive solo-in-place and pre-fader-listen functions.

Live Performance
For live performances, the SL consoles feature an ultra-musical 9-band stereo graphic EQ with the amazing FBQ Feedback Detection System and even a mono subwoofer output with a sweepable low pass filter. The integrated auto-range power supply is immune against fluctuating mains voltage and nasty spikes that you'll find in typical live environments. Plus, the supersturdy metal cabinet and the overall construction will withstand even the most punishing road conditions.

Ultra-Pure Sound and Crystal-Clear Audio
You can never place too much emphasis on clean sound. For that reason, both SL EURODESKs feature our state-of-the-art, studio-grade 'Invisible' Mic Preamps (IMPs). Here, 'Invisible' means acoustically invisible: what comes in also comes out - but nothing more. You'll be working with mic preamps that deliver crystal-clear audio and more headroom than you'll ever need. With their extreme bandwidth of 5 Hz to 100 kHz and the amazingly neutral, noise and distortion-free circuitry, you may rest assured that they will pick up and amplify every single bit of your sound without coloring it. All of this is hugely important because no matter how good your mics are, they are only as good as what they plug into. Until now, this kind of performance was only possible with extremely expensive outboard preamps.

Dual FX Engines for Unlimited Creativity
Both SL consoles boast 2 independent 24-bit digital stereo FX processors with 99 great-sounding presets of VIRTUALIZER fame like reverbs, delays, chorus, compressor, tube distortion and a host of special effects. No matter what your application - you will welcome not having to carry additional external FX processors around.

See and Remove Feedback in a Second
The revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System instantly reveals critical frequencies using the illuminated faders of the 9-band stereo graphic EQ. This is a powerful built-in solution that eliminates the need for external frequency correction and will make your life a lot easier during live gigs.

Noise What Noise
The SL series embodies our superb ULN (Ultra Low-Noise) circuitry with extremely low-impedance that keeps thermal-inherent noise and crosstalk at an absolute minimum. The result: your console is dead quiet, and crosstalk is virtually non-existent.

High-End, Leading-Edge Components
SL consoles feature state-of-the-art 4580 operational amplifiers, which not only deliver musically unsurpassed sound but also lowest noise and distortion. They are extremely linear, with noticeably less low-frequency noise than other op amps. Match them to our Ultra Low-Noise circuitry, and you have one powerful solution that lets you make a tremendous leap forward in preserving the purity of your sound.

Quality You Can Feel and Touch
Quality components are not just on the inside. SL consoles feature longwearing logarithmic-taper ALPSĀ® faders and sealed rotary controls that will survive the brutal reality of every-day use and are even shock-absorbing.

Features for the Real World
Another nice touch for live gigs: all channels can be muted during breaks by pressing a single button, so music can be played via CD/tape inputs without the mics picking up noise from the stage.

The Sound of Silence
SL consoles use our built-in, oversized state-of-the-art switch-mode auto-range power supply that automatically adapts to mains voltages from 100 to 240 Volts. Furthermore, due to its greater efficiency, it consumes much less energy than a conventional supply unit and therefore runs much cooler. Plus, unlike conventional power supplies, it does not induce line-frequency hum (check it out on other desks when you turn up all volume controls)! Our auto-range power supply lets the console run absolutely quiet.

Get the Best of the Studio and Live Worlds
Have you ever wished you could use your studio mixer for live gigs as well - or wished to use your live mixer to mix down a CD With the new SL series, you can do both. No matter if you need a high-end studio console or a high-performance live mixer - the new revolutionary SL series will rise to the occasion.

Finally, mixing consoles with the quality, features and connectivity needed by both studio and live musicians have become one. At last, you get the best of both world
