Feature:
Its easy compact and offers exactly what you need, no unneeded extra's. cant say anything else. One drawback is that it has no smooth control knobs, they move in steps.

Quality:
so far pretty reliable except for the sound problems (see sound part of the review)

Value:
Its cheap, but don't expect a clear, transparent and professional sound. Live it might be ok, but in a studio its a big no no.

Sound:
I used it on stage for quiet some time to mix down 4 synthesizers to 1 stereo channel. Recently I used it during recording session and was shocked what it did with my sounds. Some sounds where just mutulated (especially grand piano's, strings where ok-ish). And it had nothing to do with input volume. Looking for something more transparent now.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use. Mostly due to its lack of complexity and options. But hey thats what you want for a line mixer in live situations right.

Support:
No idea. never needed to contact Behringer

Overall:
Kind of regret buying it now. Its not as good as Behringer wants you to believe. I am selling my Behringer linemixer now and buying a better quality one.

Feature:
The handiest feature is the mute/defeat button on every channel. When I get confused about which module is in which channel, I can isolate them without adjusting the levels! As a line mixer, it doesn't require EQ, so I don't miss that feature. On the two channel inputs for my ROLAND,I can alwasy fine tune the overall EQ for the BEHRINGER if required.

Quality:
I now own four different BEHRINGER products, and they all meet/exceed my expectations. A friend offered to sell me a ROLAND M120 line mixer (the same series as my M12E), but I did not like the gain/signal interface between the two, and they're both ROLAND! The stereo outputs of the BEHRINGER are very smooth and linear, and totally match the LED lights.

Value:
Brand new, this cost $40 less than a used ROLAND M12E currently advertised in a local music store! By the way, I have been totally happy with my ROLAND, although when purchased new about 8 years ago, it was $870 CDN funds.

Desirability:
It looks great, is only 1 unit rack high, so it leaves me room for my other rackmount gear.

Sound:
I use this line mixer as a sub-mixer to my main ROLAND M12E mixer. The sound of the BEHRINGER is totally transparent (the way it should be!), and I can't tell the difference between the sound modules/keyboards going straight into my ROLAND from those being sub-mixed first.

Support:
I haven't had to contact the company for any of my purchases, so I can't rate the support....what's wrong with that?

Overall:
If lost/stolen (Heaven forbid!), I'd replace it immediately with the same item.

Feature:
The mixer doesn't have eq and the effects are set to pre-fader unless you want to solder individual channels to post-fader.

Quality:
It has a solid build quality.

Value:
This mixer is a great value if you just want something as a signal router. EQ and a post-fader aux send would have made this mixer perfect. I use this mixer as a submixer for a sound module, sampler, tape deck, and turntable. I usually only record one track at a time so the fact that it's a stereo mixer doesn't matter. If you have similar needs, this mixer is a great value.

Desirability:
This thing is not the best looking item in my rack but it is very functional. If you take a look at other rackmountable line mixers, they're all like that. I think mixers, on the whole (rack mount, console, desktop, etc.), are ugly looking components.

Sound:
This mixer gives you a very nice, clean, and transparent sound.

Support:
I haven't needed to contact them.

Overall:
I really like this mixer. I'd buy it again if it got run over by a truck. You can get bogged down with all the bells and whistles of other mixers, but if you're like me and you record one track at a time, just need a good signal router or submixer, and you do your mixing on a computer with plug-ins, this mixer is the best you will find.

Feature:
Having all stereo inputs is nice, but unfortunately someone decided to give this mixer stepped knobs, so you have a very limited number of possible volume settings with large gaps between each. Also, the aux sends are permanently set to pre-fader and require soldering to change.

Quality:
Everything looks fine.

Value:
I suppose that you get what you pay for with this cheap a mixer.

Sound:
The bass response was noticeably lacking between the audio going into and that coming out of the mixer. The high end was brittle and higher insturments in the mix such as high hat were emphasized that hadn't been going in. Overall, the sound was extremely flat and narrow, suggesting the possibility of crosstalk between the stereo channels.

Feature:
Excellent mix of features for this type of unit. One thing to be aware of, though, is that the documentation says that the aux send is post fader from the factory. The manual documents a mod to make the sends pre-fader. WELL, turns out that from the factory, the unit is already pre-fader (and Behringer confirmed the error in their documentation). This is better anyway, but i didn't find out until after i'd chopped up my unit to make the mod ... doh!

Quality:
Generally good. Inside is very clean and durable.

Value:
Couldn't expect much more for the price. The only thing i'd love to have is a tape out to plug into a recorder, but a y-cable on the main outs should work OK.

Sound:
Generally great ... transparent and quite.

Support:
Behringer was quick and helpful when i contacted them about the pre/post-fader issue.
