"Great product for price."

Again, I've used Behringer compressors for years both in live and studio situations without any problems. Some have knocked them, but it may have been because they really didn't know how to properly set up a compressor. I would buy one and use the savings to buy better quality microphones which is where the "how good is your sound" starts whether you're live or studio.
Sound
It has no sound which is what it is designed for.
Features
Nice gate feature in addition to normal compressor features
Ease of Use
Easy to use if you're use to setting up compressors
Quality
I've used Behringer compressors for years without any problems. Some have written reviews complaining of their failure, but I've never had a problem with one. In this day and time of cheap production even the "name brands" can have issues.
Value
For the features in this unit, plus getting four (4) individual compressor channels in 1 unit it is hard to beat for the price. Several years ago there was an article in a well known music magazine with a major music producer who admitted to using Behringer compressors in his own studio. So...

"Best bang for the buck for limited use"

I have been an audio/recording/pro-sound engineer for 30 years. I recently purchased this unit for use in a concert simply to control all the inputs to the board (hint - best live sound compresses/limits EVERY channel). The Multicom has very nice features for the price range. It's not going to compare to a Focusrite or Avalon but you're not paying thousands of dollars either. If you're a gigging band with your own sound, or have a local rig for your instrument where you submix a feed to the main board, this unit will definitely do the job. May or may not use it in a studio but the features work competently and when we used it in a large stage setting, the people giving us a standing ovation and yelling for more didn't notice the price or brand name of our compressor. Best value for working musicians/bands.

Need to find a replacement now
Sound
When it works, it sounds as good as any other compressor or gate I've used
Features
Great combindation of features for the price
Quality
Bought two units. One had it's CH#3 gate begin sticking a month into use. The second unit developed a problem 2 months later; audio barely audible and distorted. Never had a problem with other Behringer products...very happy with their line. But this model has only been out for a year, I suspect design or mfg quality problems
Value
This model only....otherwise Behringer products have been a very good value for me
Manufacturer Support
Forget it.....big company selling products dirt cheap, you'll spend more time and money trying to get it serviced than it's worth. Don't respond to emails...you're pretty much on your own.

"Warrantee problems"
Manufacturer Support
As a follow up on the warrantee of the MDX4600. I purchased a competitors compressor to get back in operation quickly. It took over two months and many phone calls and emails but I DID receive an new as a warrantee exchange. If a failure occurrs you must be patient. Buy two of them and keep one as a spare!
