Feature:
This product is a nice option for a "cheap and dirty" bridge between low-cost 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 home theatre receivers and big active speaker systems. Without an expensive 8-bus mixer or "boutique" surround sound decoder/controller, this product patches up to 8 channels of movie sound to active speakers, and I can control the overall volume and relative volume of the center, surroud, etc, with the receiver and its remote.

Value:
This was $80 plus about $20 in cabling, plus the low-end home-theatre receiver I already owned. My next alternative for my home theatre application was at least $1,200.

Feature:
it's pretty minimal. 8 direct boxes in one rack.

Quality:
people gripe about the quality of behringer gear but it works for me. i'm sure if i spent 10 times as much i could find something that sounds slightly better.

Value:
cant beat it for the price. i was looking at buying a few direct boxes at around $30 a pop to solve my humm problem. this gave me 8 for the price of 2 1/2.

Desirability:
behringer gear isnt sexy. but it is functional with a ruthless efficiency.

Sound:
i needed a ground lift to kill the hum on some noisey old analog gear. this thing does the trick.

Ease of Use:
very simple. in & out, ground lift, signal boost.

Support:
dunno. never had any trouble with any of my behringer gear.

Overall:
if you have humming ground problems with laptops, keyboards, other rack gear or if you need direct boxes for live shows, this thing is peechee.
