Feature:
Features? Well the BPM counter is useless for a start. Not that it matters - mixers shouldn't even HAVE bpm counters. It's a waste. The effects are cheap and sound crap.

Quality:
Hmm... you get what you pay for. It's discernibly light and the power supply module gets VERY hot. The sliders and knobs feel cheap. There is VERY bad bleeding through the channels even when the channel volume sliders are at zero. The EQ is unbelievably bad. The low end lets too many mid frequencies through.

Value:
This mixer is not value for money. You can get much better equipment from other brands for less. (My Numark DM2002X is even better quality)

Desirability:
No. You do not want this mixer. Please do not buy it. I know the price looks cheap but you get exactly what you paid for.

Sound:
Sound quality is not the best. It sounds very dull.

Ease of Use:
Yeah it's very easy to use.

Support:
Haven't dealt with them before. Giving an average 5.

Overall:
Luckily I got mine thrown in when I bought my cdj's so technically I didn't pay for it. I would not pay any amount for it. I've only had it for 3 weeks and am selling it off now.

Value:
It is cheap, but you don't get that much for the money. Faders aren't accurate, effects are crap -you don't have any control on the wet/dry parameters, BPM is not accurate either...

Desirability:
It is a DJM600 rip off... Would you like to own a ferrari's replica?

Sound:
Nothing impressive

Support:
Can't rate behringer's support

Overall:
low quality stuff

Feature:
There are some great features-tons of inputs, nice FX section, FX send/return- but i do have one MAJOR complaint- the BPM counters. The auto-beat function is horrible- mine says everything runs at 160 (which is wrong, i don't exceed 135 in my sets). But wait! There's a manual tap function right? Yes, if you don't mind it not working properly-it will insist that it is running at 160 and put the number right back up there. Is it a major downer? Yes. Does it kill the functionality of the mixer? No.

Quality:
Nice & heave, everything feels solid- not loose or cheap.

Value:
Pioneer could learn a thing or two from Behringer-this mixer is just as nice as ANY pioneer mixer - and i've used them all.

Desirability:
Lots of lights and very clean looks- I just wish it came in black.

Sound:
Sounds Great- love the FX, super-responsive faders and knobs, kills work great- no complaints here.

Ease of Use:
I have never been able to figure out a mixer so easily- everything is laid out in a logical place, and it's all easy to use-and if, by some chance, it's not easy to use for you, ther is a wonderful manual included.

Support:
Behringer may not have the best tech support in the world, but the have an excellent warrenty. If somthing goes wrong, send it back, and they'll give you a new one, no quibble.

Overall:
On the exception of the BPM counters, this is a great value. I have a 2 turntable, 2 CD player setup, and I couldn't be happier. I own a Behringer 2222FX mixer, and i'm going to buy a Behringer PA package soon. Pioner ain't got nothing on this.

Feature:
Gee, it came jam packed with features, in the traditional Behringer way. Its simply a blatant copy of the Pioneer DJM600, made cheaper. The problem is, cheaper components add reliability issues, so the effects on my unit are kaput. done. dead. terminated. no more. buried in my back yard. See "quality" below for detail.... The BPM counters, well they don't count. The "surround" is really just some kind of expander. The best feature on this thing: the inputs. No shortage of inputs. Inputs for miles. Or kilometers if your in the rest of the world. Also theres an efects send / return, which is useful if you, like me, are mourning the loss of your internal effects. Oh and it has a lot of esoteric blinky lights. Thats a feature, right? Perfect to amuse your local raver.

Quality:
My father always beat into me "You get what you pay for." I hate it when he's right. For starters the BPM counters are more like BPM guessers. If you play anything faster then 160BPM, like drum and bass, forget about it. Besides, anyone getting into this type of gear shouldn't even look at the counters - I put duct tape over mine ;) The unit is not plastic, but the steel they used for the main chassis is questionable thin, and Ive found more rigid plastic. The aluminum top plate is reasonable and the silk printing on it seems pretty durable. Now for a sad story about the effects Get your Kleenex out like your going to watch Beaches with Bette Middler. Really, its not the effects fault at all. The digital effects processor sub-board which is mounted under the main mixing board is mounted RIGHT OVER the power supply transformer, which gets VERY HOT. Overly hot. It was simply a bystander and died before its time, tragically, and without friends. I don't know if the transformer is defective or not, but it heats everything in the vicinity to uncomfortable temperatures, including all the RCA inputs on the left side. The bottom of the unit is too hot to touch after a long night. Then theres the faders... they get sticky.. Unfortunately unlike the Pioneer this thing is a copy of, the faders are directly soldered to the main board and replacement is not gonna happen unless you have an extensive knowledge of electronics and a pretty pimp variable temp soldering iron. The crossfader, on the other hand, is just like any other mixer out there and is pretty simple to replace with micro screwdrivers. Anyone that has one out of warranty: if you have some concept of electronics, I suggest moving the power supply to an external box. It shouldn't be that hard, and will probably buy a lot more life out of this thing. Moral: the transformer is a cruel, horrible, hot tempered bastard. Much like my father, without the drink.

Value:
Everyone knows Behringer is cheap, er, I mean "inexpensive". I really think they've started to slip lately. They have the potential to be a lot of bang for the buck, but you lose that value point if the unit consistently fails right around the time the warranty runs out... Planned obsolescence is a growing trend in products manufactured in China. Unfortunately, Behringer seems to be going in that direction.

Desirability:
Oh man, I can't afford a Pioneer, but I really want one. Oh wait, this one looks just like a DJM 600, but its $900 cheaper (1/6 the price, literally)... Thats the hook. This thing looks like a gift from above at the music store when compared to the DJM to any DJ that can barely afford to buy socks and ramen noodles. I spent all my money on rent and turntables, and my rent was late anyway. So as you see the "I want it" factor climbs dramatically, as the money factor slides. Its not quite like buying a Rolex in Tijuana, but its pretty close.

Sound:
The sound is generally good, but at the top end theres a little noise that bleeds through into the PA, even with no sources plugged in. The noise gets much worse if you turn on the "surround" feature. The EQ cut buttons tend to pop periodically too, so I stay away from them on large PAs. Otherwise, its pretty average for a mixer. Better sound quality then an AM radio at least.

Ease of Use:
The layout, like the Pioneer DJM600, is perfect. Two turn tables and two CD mixers are an ideal setup for this unit and can all be used concurrently. Theres tons of line in options, in fact I do believe there is one more line in then the DJM600. Everything is in a very logical place, and the EQ knobs are nice and big and smooth. Everyone likes big, smooth knobs.

Support:
I'm not sure about Behrindgers support, as my mixer is long out of warranty. I'll find out soon when I attempt to order a replacement digital effects processor board. I'm betting that they're not going to bother sending me one. Its not common to be able to get internal replacement parts from manufacturers and their web site give the DC two step when it comes to sourcing parts. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Overall:
Oh Behringer! Are you listening? I know you mean well by supplying our grubby little DJ hands with affordable products, but how much more quality can we trade off before its too much? So in the end, I grudgingly have to give this monster a pretty low score, and I feel bad for that, because the potential is great for this product. I don't want to have to worry about my equipment becoming self aware in the middle of a show and refuse to work because it is tired. In the end, I would recommend saving a little more money, forgoing the Behringer Instant Gratification bug, and buy something that will last a little longer. In any case, this thing still works for me, but I'll be looking for something a little sturdier in the meantime. And FYI, Behringer EuroPower amps are a totally different story, and you can't go wrong there. Built like Panzer tanks, I tell you. But for the mixer, I give it a really strong "meh" rating, slightly above a long uncomfortable sigh.

Feature:
There are lots of features, but none of them perform very well.

Quality:
Quality is alright for what you pay for.

Value:
Good value, but you'll just end up buying another better mixer.

Desirability:
I deffinatly wouldn't buy another one.

Sound:
Flat bass, just plain bad. Probably the worst part of the mixer.

Ease of Use:
Its definatly easy to use, but not exactly intuitive. Its an exact clone of the Pioneer Djm 800.

Support:
haven't dealt with them.

Overall:
Its an inexpensive begining mixer.

Feature:
features are not functional, would rather use an outboard effects processor than use the ones on the mixer, faders are about the best feature on this mixer. my effects stopped working after about 6 months, right after my store warranty expired. not even worth getting fixed.

Quality:
very low quality of sound, cheap price cheap mixer.

Value:
no value, you will be spending almost two hundred dollars on a practice mixer, better buying one for less than a hundred dollars for that purpose, or just save up and buy a better quality mixer.

Desirability:
behringer products are cheap that are supposed german designed, but are built in china. that says it all, oriental products use the cheapest possible parts to maximise profits, but the user ends up with crappy sounding equipment. so there products are not a value rather and expensive headache.

Sound:
sound quality is definitely not that good. Would never use this mixer to record anything, just to practice blending maybe, that is the actual purpose of this mixer.

Ease of Use:
the bpm is confusind and not precise, though i really dont use bpm counteers when mixing. for a beginner it will confuse. the effects take a while to learn but not the greatest

Overall:
i already bought a good pioneer mixer that i can use all around. wether it be at a club, house party, or recording into my audio interface.

Feature:
For a beginner, which is why you'd probably be buying this anyway, unless you are on a budget and just need something cheap to mix on, it's good, but at the same time, you probably don't need everything this mixer comes with if it's your first one. there's probably more important things you need to be focusing on.

Quality:
The faders on my unit have gone wacky. Some cut out at the max fader position. Sometimes channels just don't want to work, and the level meters read incorrectly. The balance on the unit for whatever reason is off, and must be corrected even though signals are balanced. I don't know what to think. In my oppinion I've treated this unit with a lot of care, and the condition it's in currently is not what I'd expect from one that's only two years old, with moderate use.

Value:
Like I said before it's good for a beginner just starting to mix, but you definately get what you pay for. You will eventually be buying another one, not because you want something better but because it wont work anymore.

Desirability:
The only thing this unit has going for it is the fact that it appears similar to the pioneer.

Sound:
Sound quality I suppose is what you pay for. It's not great, it's budget, and therefore sounds that way as well.

Ease of Use:
It's fairly easy to use, although the instructions don't go into too much detail as far as the sync lock and beat assist buttons go.

Overall:
I am already looking for another product as I type this.

Quality:
this mixer was not reliable at all.... strange things always happening, like the lights would go out and then on again .... at other time s any given channel was subject to shut down .... over all bad product

no

i liked the blue colors

I am dissapointed with the crossfader. It wouldn't be a big deal but I can not seem to find a replacement right of hand.

Sound:
I experience some unwanted noise with this mixer.

Overall:
I would buy something else of higher quality. Also something that is easy to find replacement parts for.

Feature:
Features were ok. It really is what you get out of this product. Not much else.

Quality:
It is a cheap product, thats it. If you are in the market for a cheap product by all means grab this. It is really in your best interest to not spend your money on this item and pick up a better mixer from Vestax or Denon for a little more cash.

Value:
You get what you pay for, if your into purchasing cheap products than pick this one up.

Desirability:
it is sheer crapola. Lightweight, cheap knockoff of a mixer.

Sound:
Sound quality is poor, it really doesn't pump out the sound the way it should, you have to pretty much turn it all the way up to get big sound out of it. Not for a mobile,club, professional DJ environment.

Support:
I am going to return this item, hopefully they give me my refund check soon.

Overall:
This item really is good only for a short period of time and only for light duty use.

Feature:
It's pretty cool that they emulate the effects as the Pioneers, though haven't toy'd with it a little. Usage wise, it's a real deal, though flexability wise, the pioneers are more refined. Never the less, it allows you to learn the basic of effects.

Quality:
As said you do get what you pay for. But it is still worth it. Is obviously best bang for your buck.

Value:
Best bang for your buck!

Desirability:
It resembles almost exact like the pioneers...though not in quality.

Sound:
Not bad in sound...though if you know a little about electronics and volume control, you will have no problem. Sounds ok...some noise...but for $180, not really have much to spend.

Support:
Can't really say much...I usually fix my own stuff.

Overall:
Overall, it's a really good mixer for those bedroom DJ's or for house parties. This is definitely not for the usage of a sound studio or club. I've read many differing reviews, but my best thing to say is to just go to anyone who has one on display(any music affiliated store) or one of your friends and try it out. I mean this is not intended for hip-hop or scratching, though the hampster curve is 3-way adjustable. This mixer does out perform some pricier mixers that i have used. EQ gains are like it's it's 626 version, which is ok, it has no kills. Effects has no cycle control...but unless you know what you're doing, it's kinda useless. Overall, if you're on a budget, it's a great starter to build up towards the pioneers.

Feature:
the features on the mixer are okay... the effect knob could have been written out rather than memorizing the code (2 for delay, 3 for echo etc...). Great effects when mixing songs together. the BMP doesn't seem too accurate but one can use his ears just like the good ol' days...

Quality:
for the price, it's a damn good piece you got there... i don't know how long it will last me but i plan to give it a shot and see how it handles the gigs.
