Description
Docs
Behringer's first digital console offers a feature set you won't find in any other product in its class. In fact, you won't find some of the DDX3216's features in any compact digital console.
Start with its 32 channels, 16 internal busses, and 8 aux sends. Each channel features a fully parametric 4-band equalizer, sweepable high-pass filter, gate, compressor/limiter, and phase inversion - all simultaneously operable. The first 16 channels additionally offer a delay function. Add 4 onboard effects processors that put just about any imaginable effect type at your fingertips, naturally in top quality and also simultaneously accessible. Then full-fledged dynamic and static automation functions, extensive synchronization options and MIDI implementation, a comprehensive internal I/O patchbay, full digital compatibility, and functionality. Plus unusually flexible connectivity and expandability, supported via 2 expansion slots for ADAT, TDIF, AES/EBU interfaces, and more. All based on 32-bit floating-point processing (40-bit for the EQ's).
Imagine all of this in a rack-mountable case and with an intuitive, logically laid out user interface based on excellent software and effective control elements, like motorized ALPS¬ faders, assignable channel controls with LED rings, push-and-turn master controllers, and a large, backlit LCD display, and you begin to get the picture. A picture that fits perfectly in so many applications, we can't list them all here: recording, live sound, multimedia, audio for video, broadcasting, installations, etc.
The DDX3216 may not fully re-define digital mixing, but it goes a long way towards giving compact digital mixers a new meaning.

Behringer DDX3216 Digital Mixer Reviews

"Worth every penny!"
Feature:
What can I say. This unit is loaded with so many features, I doubt I will ever use them all. It's packed. The only reason for a 9 instead of a 10, is because of its size. It's rack mountable, but I can't find a road rack that it will fit into, because of it's length (almost 23 inches). Behringer needs to make a rack for this baby, because no one else seems to want to.
Quality:
Cosmetically, it looks great. However, the controls don't have a real solid feel to them. I've had mine for over a year of constant use in my studio, with no problems, but I'm treating it very gingerly. I'm afraid it wouldn't take much abuse, and not likely to survive road use for long.
Value:
Hands down the best value in a digital pro mixer. Not even close here. This unit has so much bang for the buck, it blows everyone else away.
Desirability:
I look for value - bang for the buck - and the DDX3216 has it in spades. I wasn't looking for a road mixer (already have a Yamaha Promix01 for that), but this makes a fantastic studio mixer for my home studio.
Sound:
Crystal clear sound whether using digital or analog i/o.
Support:
N/A. Haven't had any problems yet.
Overall:
This unit is part of my home recording studio, which I plan to use for many years to come. I have several other Behringer products and have been very impressed with the features, quality and value of their products, which is why I went ahead with the DDX3216. I'm very happy with my decision. I know other musicians and engineers who have Tascam and Yamaha units that they paid 2 or 3 times as much for, and they have all had problems with theirs. I haven't, and I use my Behringer more.
