Still, Behringer mixers are still rubbish in comparison to some mixers
made over a decade ago. Actually, all of the mixers to be found in
places like the typical mail-order catalogues for musicians look like
they were designed for people with tiny hands and fingers, have no
positive aesthetic value (they're hideous to look at!), the jacks
tend to be in the wrong place, the slide-pots/faders are tiny, and
too close together, making it difficult to work with them quickly with
adequate degrees of precision. The also look like they'd break if
they fell a few feet. Any good audio specifications, which will
probably degrade after a reasonably amount of use, are offset by their
other poor qualities. At least older mixing consoles without
great specs. can be upgraded with better quality components to rival
the more expensive consoles.

Of course, people have become acustomed to cheap and cheesey
poor quality merchandise, from home audio systems to modern-day
automobiles; put an expensive price on it, or make it appear
popular, and the suckers will come out of the woodwork, in vast
quantities, to purchase it, often making those legalized loan
sharks, called credit card companies, happy in the process.

Just my two cents worth. :-)
