Whilst the performance and range of Behringer gear is quite good, the low cost comes at a price...if it breaks down. Behringer are extremely protective of their circuits (how anyone else could undercut them even if they did copy them is anyone's guess) and WILL not release ANY service information to anyone besides their own authorised repairers. Getting authorisation is next to impossible. The units use all surface mount components jammed into the smallest space possible, making fault tracing impossible. Mechanically their products are quite fragile.As a pro audio repairer by trade, I do not recommend this brand solely for these reasons. If it is pro audio, then it WILL be subjected to a lot of knocking around, and should be as reliable as possible.
