Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Again, I've used Behringer compressors for years both in live and studio situations without any problems. Some have knocked them, but it may have been because they really didn't know how to properly set up a compressor. I would buy one and use the savings to buy better quality microphones which is where the "how good is your sound" starts whether you're live or studio.
Sound
It has no sound which is what it is designed for.
Features
Nice gate feature in addition to normal compressor features
Ease of Use
Easy to use if you're use to setting up compressors
Quality
I've used Behringer compressors for years without any problems. Some have written reviews complaining of their failure, but I've never had a problem with one. In this day and time of cheap production even the "name brands" can have issues.
Value
