Feature:
all the basic features you need are there. the sound processing is fu to mess with but i usually leave it on small room or medium room. some of the effects sound great if you were trying to get some effects out of this thing. i like the options that configs that this thing is capable of. i did wish the bass preamp output had a crossover to fine tune the bass. my active sub has its own crossover so its ok. couple more watts would be fine.
Quality:
feels like good enough quality to last. nothing is loose or flimsy. i wouldn't recommended dropping it but this is simply good advice across all electronics equipment. Knobs are plastic but have a nice weighted feel. (the yamaha mixer in this price range had much cheaper feeling turn knobs and volume lever)i think the main case is aluminum or some other type of metal. the carrying handle is solid.
Value:
behringer doesn't market themselves as a lexus/bmw of Pro Audio. They make affordable equipment. Most of the quality issues ive read about have been from the 90's and early 2000. at this time they were still using 3rd parties manufactures. I think now they make most of their equipment at their own factory in a mini behringer city. quality is on the rise. price per feature, this is a great buy. it does not feel like its gonna fall apart. i'm sure u can buy better quality, but will pay the premium for it.
Desirability:
works great, looks great..but its like rolling up in a new HONDA Civic. its nice, but its still not the same as sporting a BMW or Mercedes. Does mean the car is any less capable to do what it was designed to do.
Sound:
I don't have much to compare it to. I bought it to use as a home theater/music/karaoke system for home use, get together and family parties. I have never been a fan of 5 speakers. a nice 2.1 system is perfect for my taste. i do no use it for DJing, live music, gigging. given that, it sound better than the 1980's Natural Sound Yamaha HT receiver it replaces(which was a very very good receiver back when it was made). and that is good enough for me. I hooked up my satellite receiver, dvd player and laptop, sound is great to me. is is "audiophile grade" probably not. it uses a full range class d amp which is fairly new technology. Class D amps are much cheaper to build per watt, and are more efficient than A/B amps. Some of the best subwoofer amps are class D. because of better and technology fullrange class D can sound as good as most A/B amps, which was not true 10 years ago. i have it hooked up to some Behringer B1520 Pro and BIC America 250watt powered sub.. movies sound awesome, and music bumps great. cant complain. bass bumps.
Ease of Use:
the manual is weak to say the least.. it is not organized well. but the thing is easy enough to use as long as you understand channels, EQ, amp settings, gain,how to read a clipping meter, and volume control. all the other stuff is basically for play.
Support:
do no email. took me 3 days to get Q answers. BUT.. live service is great.. i called, spoke to secretary, ask for tech, she said "would u like to leave a message" i said no, ill wait. got someone on the phone in 2 mins.. he DID NOT have an INDIAN accent and spoke perfect english. and knew his specs and answered Q's quickly and i don't think he had to check his database to use it. i called 4 different times and had great results.
Overall:
Im very satisfied.

Feature:
Has alot more features than my Behringer PMH2000. Voice canceler, DSP, EQs, 2 monitor sends, a mono send.. this has everything.
Quality:
The 1st one i bought didnt work. i checked the fuse and it wasnt that. i called behringer support and i was told to go to my dealer and exchange it. the 2nd one i got works fine. i love it.
Value:
Bang for the buck. only thing that has the same features is a yamaha. which is in the $900 range
Desirability:
Good looking mixer, the black and silver goes well together
Sound:
this is a damn good sounding mixers, no noise from the faders either. very punchy also.
Ease of Use:
Took me a while to figure out.. but after that its not bad
Support:
I was so thrilled with their support. no automated push button systems, and no agents with foreign accents (no offense! but i cant understand some people.)
Overall:
Great very powerful mixer. good for the money, and well featured.
