"ONE OF A KIND TOOL AS A SPLITTER..."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It will have an easy and clean life in its portable rack and barring any component failures I look for it to perform admirably. I do wish it had a Power-On LED, although it wouldn't have to be a Blinding Blue one that other Behringer products have. I would replace it with an identical one if ever needed to be.
Sound
I just got this yesterday after waiting on the backorder (they must be popular) and did my initial test to see if it worked okay. There was no hum, buzz, or other anomolies from shipping damage or fabrication. The meters are all in sync and the level & pan signals are responsive. It will be used for live sound amp zoning and other routing inside the sound truck.
Features
As a bare bones tool the panel is spartan, but level & pan are all you need to control anyway. I am wondering why ins & outs on channels 5 & 6 are TRS vs. XLR (like the rest)--ran out of space, perhaps. Please show the backside of this unit in the photo section. Didn't know what it looked like until I got it. Not a big deal anyway.
Ease of Use
Using as a splitter OR mixer alone is easy enough to figure out. I will never have a need to combine functions simultaneously on this unit unless I was really in a pinch. A regular mixer makes more sense, such as Behringer's single-rack space Ultrarack Pro RX1602, which offers more channels and features for about the same price. That piece has been flawless for me for three years.
Quality
It appears to be a durable product. However the separate IEC AC cord seems a bit loose in the socket.
Value
It is a good deal, but there isn't another product like it out there to compare it to.
Manufacturer Support
Never dealt with support there--only had one other Behringer product that I would have contacted them about--it was a fabrication error that I had to correct.
The Wow Factor
It appeals to me on all physical and etherial levels.

"Best Economical soulution for multiple Zone Splitting."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I would purchase this again, even if the current broke down within a year. If it happened again. I would consider a more expensive alternative.
Sound
It's very difficult to pinpoint whether this diminishes or enhances sound. I have two berhinger products controlling processing or transmitting sound and I found no problem with distortion or line noise. The set up, including this component is clean.
Features
This was a great solution to the Bar/Lounge install needing several individual zones. There really isn't another product out there like this. The closest I found was a Rane x over and line mixer, but it was expensive for what it did. This has a ton of functionality. I highly reccomend it, especially for the price.
Ease of Use
Pretty simple once you differentiate the use as either a mixer or a splitter. However, if your like me, you may need to read parts of the manual a few times.
Quality
No cosmetic or design flaws. It's very light, so I wouldn't expect it to be a heavy duty road worthy component.
Value
You will not find anything close to this price for what this does. Expect others, if there are other products that offer these solutions, to be several hundred dollars more.
Manufacturer Support
I personally have had great relaltions with Behringer with a few components I've purchased.
The Wow Factor
No sex appeal, but extremely functional and a must have for commercial intalls. Kudo's to Berhinger.

"Does its job, no major problems yet"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Its sound is neither exceptional nor horrible
Features
It is very versatile, and makes a difficult hardware concept relatively easy to operate. I can't find another piece of hardware that does the same thing. I don't understand why the level meters don't correspond with the rest of my gear, but its not a critical problem. (the levels hardly register on the meters)
Quality
There was a scratch on the top of unit (it didn't look like it had been opened since the factory). The potentiometers feel kind of cheap to me.
Manufacturer Support
Behringer's web site is the only support that I have used so far. It is not bad, but not great either.

"Level matching = "stereo" preamp (3 channels) for RCA/XLR ins/outs DIY system"
I stumbled upon the MX882 after many useless searches for line amp(s) for a home stereo. Actually I use a mix of DIY "home" audio and "pro" level (Behringer iNuke) equipment. The MX882 is the perfect solution (and the cheapest by far) for 3 independent channels (my '2.1" system)...it is acting as a pre-amp. I think the manual calls it "level matching". For $100 and 3-year warranty, what's not to like?

"Nasty hum on main out when in mix mode; no response from Behringer US customer support whan I asked them for clarification and a"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is the first time that I have been disappointed with a Behringer product. What makes me supsicious is that Behringer customer support (US) does not reply to my E-mail where I ask them for clarification and a fix. Please, Behringer US, you can still contact me!
Sound
The unit has a nasty, unacceptable 60 Hz hum on the main outs when running in mix mode. Split mode performs better, but I bought the unit primarily to run as a line mixer for my keyboards. The hum is probably caused by the power transformer inside the unit and improper shielding; it probably reflects a poor design. Behringer's US customer support was not available for comment. This is suspicious.
Features
Had the product been of better sound quality, I would have been very happy with all of it's features.
Quality
Factory control should have cought the hum on main outs when running the unit in mix mode. It is better to market this unit as a splitter only; when running in split mode the 60 Hz hum is at an acceptably low level.
Manufacturer Support
Behringer customer support (US) does not reply to my E-mail where I asked them to clarify the origin of the hum and to provide a fix. Please, Behringer US, you can still contact me!
The Wow Factor
But I have already got it, unfortunately.
