Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'll continue to use this product. I use it on film sets to deliver audio feeds to my boom operator, the director, and the script supervisor. In the studio I run channels to musicians. It does what it needs to do. Alot of directors ask me about the hissing, but it's just the unit.
Sound
The sound is pretty terrible. It's extremely noisy, but generally this unit is only used to give performers a track to play along to. It doesn't have to be good since it isn't the audio that is recorded. For this it is fine.
Features
It's a headphone splitter/amplifier. It splits the signal into eight channels. That's teh only feature it really needs.
Ease of Use
This is extremely straightforward. Run the output from your DAW into the inputs, and plug your headphones in. That's really it.
Quality
LIke all of Behringer's products, the construction is rock solid.
Value
It does what it needs to do, and has a low price tag. It's extremely functional.
The Wow Factor
It's ugly and noisy, but does what it needs to do. No more, and no less.
