As much as I don't like Berhinger, yes that is a pretty good piece for the price. Its typical behringer, has the harsh highs, gritty sounding but it got some use in my studio. If you're talented enough I'm sure you could make this sound ok. I think the next closest competitor would be the octane by maudio, its around 500 bucks though. Not saying there aren't pre's between those two that sound better, its just for the adat connections and 8 pre's the octane is the next closest price wise.
