Feature:
It runs in four modes. It will tell you it runs in five, but two of those modes are the same mode, and depend on wether you have patched anything in or not. It meets my needs, which are meager, very well.
Quality:
The only gripe I have about the quality is that when you are rotating modules, you have to take the whole unit apart, and this can cause modules to fall out or make it difficult to put back together if they don't all fall into their own little hole. Other than that, it's solid.
Value:
Super cheap, and gets the job done. A slight learning curve aside, this will meet a project studio's needs for basic patching. I patch a few synths and effects here and there, but only deal with about 10 sources, so this is perfect for me, and it is balanced!
Desirability:
Patchbays are arguably the most boring thing to buy, next to cabling, which was incidentally more expensive in this case.
Sound:
The product does nothing to the sound. This is good for a patchbay, as you don't want any noise or interference. I gave it a five because it doesn't create any sound.
Support:
I haven't dealt with Behringer customer support.
Overall:
This product doesn't make a lot of claims, and it certainly gets the job done. I have noticed no introduction of noise, no loss of signal, and it works just as I imagined.

Feature:
It's actually okay, feature-wise. Just okay though. In order to change normalling, you have to do some destructive mods. If you want to rack mount it, you take the screws out that hold it together! So you have to duct tape the thing together! Once racked, it's okay.
Quality:
It's really horrible. Don't buy this. Get the PX2000 instead, or something else if you really want balanced connections.
Value:
Even at the low price, it's not a good buy.
Desirability:
I am replacing it with another PX2000, I have one of those and I'm pretty happy with it. I *might* use this for experimenting if I really need extra patch points, but it's not even worth as much as the cables plugged into it.
Sound:
Well, I cannot claim the thing is noisy, but it's a staggeringly poor design. I don't know where to begin. Cables will definitely work themselves loose. Compared to the PX2000, there is no comparison. The PX2000 is actually very good, and this PX1000 is a total piece of crap.
Overall:
I've already made the order for a replacement.
