Hello again, I recently purchased a Behringer MX1604A mixer board and must say I am quite happy with it. It's a 12 channel and high quality. It only set me back $150.00 & ship. I also have a Yammie MX12/4, but plan to take the Behringer when I play out. It's more compact. The Yammie set me back about $400.00. It's my first Behringer product, so I just thought I'd spread the word.
In my opinion Behringer produces excellent equipment for extremely low prices. I own the 6 channel-mixer and the SHARC DSP110 feedback-killer/compressor/mic-amp/phantom/delay/noise-gate/EQ..... The SHARC only $ 100 (!!) So : Only the price is not professional.

Likewise. I use an "AutoCom Pro" (I think) on vocals. Dual channel compressor/ limiter/ gate. Works as advertised, no noise and no gremlins. About 120 pounds in the UK. Bargain.

I just recently purchased the Behringer stereo equalizer (31 bands I think) for about 150 bucks. Works great and easy to use. I'm a fool for lots of colored lights!

I bought three Behringer mics from a guy on Harmony Central who was closing a studio. I bought them as "guest" mics because the price for all three was a total of $60! To my surprise, they are excellent mics, and were in new condition. They even came in neat plastic boxes. I can't tell they are any different from Shure SM58. DonM

Behringer's stuff (German) is great. As Roel knows, I purchased the Shark (Sharc) on his recommendation, and very happy with its performance. Quality gear at very low prices. - Scott
I had never heard of Behringer, untill I went mixer shopping. The price could not be beat, I ended up with the mx 2004a 16 tracker. So when I saw ther virtual amp for 129, got that too. Has anyone tryed their concencer mics?

Stam, They are XM2000's. Another thing I like about them is the Super Cardiod pattern, extremely directional with excellent feedback rejection. I saw them advertised recently on the internet as low as $20.00!! Seem to be the same freq. response and other specs as Shure SM58. DonM Here's some info: http://www.progressive-concepts.com/22a.html

Just for the record, and i'm a behringer dealer, there products are manufactured in China. That's how they can do it so cheap! The company is from Germany and was originally distributed by Sampson (Sam Ash) but now they are doing their own distribution. So many customers think they are German made, but that is incorrect.

George: Some people have mistakenly thought I was made in China, but as you all know, I'm 100% American made . . . . and I don't come cheap either.
Seriously though, I hope my Behringer Shark wasn't made by those poor innocent people imprisoned in those communist chinese slave labor camps I'd seen reported on the 60 minutes TV show.

I got a behringer 1604 Mixer too, it works good, but there has got to be something better. Ive been Eye-ing the MX12/4, supposedly it comes with built in Digital effects. This thing probably sucks too. There is alot of bad equipment out there. You just never know.
HI: Optinone I had the MX12/4 it was a good mixer IMO. I traded it for the new MX12/6 it has more effects, other than that it is about the same. There are a few small other added features I don't remember off hand just what they are, but look at the spec's. of both. Denny
