Feature:
Though the product had NO acessories,it sounded good with the c414.When i was called to do some Recording for a metal band,i saw this mixer and laughed out loud,but than i almost changed my mind.
The preamp is not even close to what they say! In fact,it just cuts the cake and nothing more.You can use it until you buy a stand-alone and it will have a descent quality,but for a 50$ mixer,what do you expect?
The small number of channels is NEVER going to be used up on this mixer.Why?Only one amp.But still,the other channels DO have line-ins,so you can plug something else into them.
The peak-meter was broken when i came to use the mixer and all,but i don't doubt that the colors were pretty.But when it comes to the BEST features here,i gotta say i was impressed by the separate Headphones jacks.i really loved it-i could monitor what was being recorded in the booth while the artists were hearing the MIDI Mock-Up perfectly on the phones.
And there are the Tape and Mix options.Awesome.Though in a mixer this small,you don't need em.
So why would anyone be stupid enough to buy this mixer?Phantom Power.
Just plug-in a 80$ preamp in a Line-In,Plug the Mic in the Pre,and you're set.At a price of like 50 dollars,i guess it's worth buying.
Definitely getting one for MY studio.
Quality:
Behringer,bros!
Even if it's a 6000$ console - and behringer will NEVER make a console that pricy- the quality will suck.Why?made In China.Plastic.End of story.But may i remind you again....50 bucks!
Value:
yes...because no1 sells this cheap mixers.
Desirability:
Well it has no sex appeal at all.The plastic looks awful.
Sound:
I cannot call myself an audio engineer with my 16 years,but still i HAVE used some of the best consoles avalible : I've worked with Fairlight consoles,the SSL's and many more classic consoles.Though i was always taught to FLEE from Behringer,when the time came for me to assemble my home studio,the pocket dictated.And so i bought this mixer and guess what-it's just as they said it would be!
Ease of Use:
Yes it is easy,though the manual couldn't be more unclear.
Support:
uuuh behringer.That's all i gotta say.
Overall:
I think that it's a must for any newbie in recording,because it's almost a Starter Set in studios.
