"Maximum compression with complete"

Overall:
I purchased this unit here at Zzounds. I am a single vocalist/guitarist and sometimes play with one or two others. My normal venue is a coffee shop. This unit provides two independent channels (which can be linked for stereo) so I can put voice on one channel and guitar on the other; this helps performance immensely, because the compression characteristics of voice and instrument are very different. The unit has useful (defeatable) automatic functions for attack and release, along with auto knee settings. The peak limiter also has an auto program limiter function. I picked mine up at 3:30 in the afternoon and had it up and running at a job by 5:30. It wasn't yet running optimally, but it was working, making things better. By the next day I had it tweaked to produce maximum benefit. This unit does two things for me: 1) it makes my amplification system more effective, because the compressed signal comes through with more power at any given amp setting. 2) it allows my music to "sit" above the ambient conversation level of the coffeehouse. Everyone can hear my music, even the softer parts, but the volume is not too high for customers to talk comfortably. Without compression I had to choose between being annoyingly loud or annoyingly inaudible (the quieter parts of the music could not be easily heard by customers.) The physical build is very high quality, the display is very nice, and the controls are exacting. The de-esser works well, as do the tube simulation and dynamic enhancer. The only shortcoming of this unit is the usual Behringer problem: an infuriatingly dense manual that is occasionally incorrect and is always hard to understand. But the unit itself is worth twice the price, and the results exceed expectations. If you are into recording or coffee shops, get this unit!

"A much bigger upgrade from my existing compresser than I expected!"

Feature:
It has an AUTO function for the attack and release functions that works very well and eliminates unnecessary knob twisting.

Quality:
For the money, this is a good value. I like how the power supply is built in which means no wall-wart PSU. The dancing LEDs are beautiful when in use. The lights are not just for show either. There are lights that show when the expander/gate, compression interactive knee, de-esser, and peak limiter are active. The more the lights dance, the better you have it dialed in. The LEDs in the switches are bright, maybe too bright, because some light leaks into the switches that are off and not supposed to be lit.

Value:
I paid just over a hundo (US) including shipping. I think this unit is an EXCEPTIONAL value.

Sound:
Using the Interactive Knee feature, this thing is invisible!

Support:
So many languages! If this is your first experience with a dynamics processer, you may be a bit overwhelmed at first. The manual is bare minimum.

Overall:
I bought this unit for recording/broadcasting so I could use my Alesis Nanocompressor elsewhere. It has met my expectations 110%. If I could change one thing, I would have phono-plugs for the input/output instead of the 1/4" jacks. Maybe thats an engineering decision Behringer made because there is another market out there that would be upset without them.

Switchable dynamic enhancer for brilliant, lively audio even with heavy compression

IRC (Interactive Ratio Control) expander/gate circuitry for virtually inaudible noise suppression

Switchable tube simulation for the extra warmth and transparency of classic tube circuitry

Automatically or manually adjustable attack and release times

Switchable low contour filter prevents "pumping" due to low-frequency dominated compression

Stereo couple function with independent output level settings

Switchable side chain input with side chain monitor function

Ultra low-noise 4580 operational amplifiers and state-of-the-art THAT VCA's

Separate 12-segment LED meters for input/output levels and gain reduction
