This compressor of its price range comes with side chain and XLR balanced inputs which removes hum. Should be the best among the cheap range of compressors.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Feature:
For this price, it's PACKED with features. Dynamic Enhancer function works really well...but I suspect that it is more of a stopgap measure to make up for cheap VCA's... The sound is really all that matters, however. The peak limiter is not nearly as effective as the DBX model 166 that I own...

Quality:
Well Made...Behringer is strange. Some products (consoles, EQ's) are absolute crap. However, the dynamics processors that they offer (esp. the solid-state models) are easy to use, and well made. I would keep a backup of this model if I were going to take it touring...but when I go on the road, I have a backup of LITERALLY everything that I need to perform, and then some.

Value:
Couldn't be any better without stealing it!

Desirability:
Can a compressor be sexy? I mean, it looks OK in my rack....but the ladies usually want to know what an "Aural Exciter" is!....(then I give and get examples of how "Aural" and "Oral" are two different things!)

Sound:
Not Noisy. If you know how to use a compressor, you will be able to use this unit and be satisfied with the results. Can be rather transparent, but does not handle "pumping and breathing" all that well. What I mean, is that for special effect compression... you want a different unit...probably an LA-2A, or 1176. In a pinch, you can make this unit pump and spit....but it distorts at over 16-17 dBu...

Support:
Have not dealt with support persay, BUT, I did choose the output transformer option (instead of servo-balanced) and they handled the task quickly and with aplomb.

Overall:
I have many compressors (13 channels total)...this is just another pair of options that I have. Try chaining the compressors together in an insert.... Insert input to Channel 1...tie channel 1 & 2 together with a patch/XLR cable, and Insert Output to Channel 2.....very nice and smooth series compression....or very flexible compressor--->limiter
