Beck said:Behringer was not a bad company in the beginning, but outsourcing brought a decline in QC. If it says made in Germany on the product I would have no problem using it. In fact Behringer had some outstanding products in the early 90’s.
Made in China is another story. This is not a slam on the Chinese people. The designing it here and manufacturing it over their model just hasn’t worked out for a lot of companies… or rather it hasn’t worked out for their customers.
The Studio Denoiser MK III is a case in point. IMO, the newer SNR2000 just doesn't stand up to it.
I second the experience with the mid-90s Behringer stuff. I have (still) an MX 8000 24 track 8 bus mixer that actually sounds very good. I got it for my practice room and still use it for monitoring. I do have some of their patchbays that work just dandy.
Later stuff, I have no experience with at all.
