Sound: This mixer is brilliant! I am able to record on my pc with no latency using the inbuilt 16 bit 48kHz USB sound card . I now use the desk as the main recording source for any instrument with ease and combined with the inbuilt effects some very professional sounds can be easily achieved. Effectively your pc can be used without a sound card with this mixer as the sound can be redirected back via the USB return. At this stage I do not use this mixer for live gigs but I can tell there would be no issues. Feature: The mixer has inbuilt effects and effect send/ return that can be sent to any channel. A good compressor is built into each channel. Phantom power is available for any mics that need it. There is only one thing I miss - no solo buttons on each channel, but for the standard of features this mixer has I can overlook this. A Behringer ASIO driver is supplied but I use ASIO4.DLL with no issues so far. Ease of Use: The controls on the desk are simple to use (even for a novice) It may take a little while to figure out how to set up effect parameters as the instruction manual isn't clear on this, but again it isn't difficult. Quality: The desk is well constructed and attractive with good quality connectors, knobs and faders. The main mix send has gold tipped male XLR connectors. As long as the unit is stored in a road case for transportation it should fair up as well as any other desk for live work. Value: Great value for the features. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had personal experience with Behringer yet but a close friend of mine has and he has nothing but praise for the efficient way his mixing desk was quickly replaced ( 3 days) when a fault was detected in it. The Wow Factor: It's a very tidy looking mixer, not too large so it fits well in a home situation. Overall: This mixer has all the features I require for my home recording and for what I payed for it I am very satisfied. I chose Behringer under recommendation from a friend who owns a complete Behringer PA system and loves it.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: First of all, the product works as expected. There is noise at very high gain settings, but it pretty quiet below about 75% of the gain range on any given segment of the mixer. Used mostly with phantom powered mics and direct boxes with great results. I thought it was noisier, but it turned out to be some poorly made XLR cables. Feature: Unbalanced 1/4" Main outs would have been nice, but it works great with XLR balanced line outs...and cheap adapters are readily available. Bought this for USB track recording for roughly the same price as a 2 channel XLR in/out USB dongle of the same quality. Ease of Use: The mixer was very easy for me, but for someone not used to mixers, a more detailed manual would have been great. Also confusing is that the manual covers two mixer models. Quality: Fit and finish are very good. I wouldn't take it on the road without a hardcase or a rack box around it (brackets come with the product for rack mounting). Value: Yes, at 50% of MSRP or less, it's well worth it. The Wow Factor: It just works and has a reasonable layout...but it's a generic hunk of gear that does it's job. Overall: Hope to use it for the next 4 or 5 years...currently I would replace it with the same unit and the same cost.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
