"Spongy sound and and white noise - not in keeping with the Behringer standards"

Feature:
Accessories are just about the same as most. This many digital effects are uneccessary. Its plain overkill. If there was some method to isolate or choose required effects on each channel independantly, it would be awesome

Quality:
Physically the product seems rugged

Value:
The price is attractive but considering the quality of sound output, it may not be worth buying at all.

Sound:
The sound is sort of spongy. I would have liked to see a product like this with lots more punch that what comes out.

Support:
Dont know as have not had the need.

Overall:
I bought this one after I disposed my Fender Passport. This was about slightly better than the Fender. Now I have the sound I need; a GIGRAC 600 from Soundcraft

"BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! Feedback? get better mics, problem solved. I recomend it"

Feature:
Can't beat it. Best bang for the buck

Quality:
have had it for a short time but seems solid

Desirability:
practical

Sound:
I had feedback problems and had a sound tech help me out, he brought his way more expensive system and the behringer sounded much more natural. I have read a few reviews with feedback issues and mine turned out to be the mic so I suggest you use good mics.

Support:
I tried to contact them about my feedback issues 2 weeks ago(over internet) and still have had no response

Overall:
Like I said it had a more natural sound the 1 twice it's price with less features. I hope it lasts for years to come and think it should. If so i would replace it with another behringer. I wish I knew to have top quality mics before I bought it but it was an easy fix(with the money i saved)

"On a budget but want fantastic sound, read this."

Feature:
It has lots of features if I would take the time to learn them. But I don't so all I can do is use the basics that anyone can do without even looking in the book. That's why I love this system. It does not have standard 1/4" outputs for speaker cables. Instead I had to buy some adapters from the twist and lock type to 1/4".

Quality:
The knobs are all very secure. I have seen ones at venues where half of them are missing and you have know idea of where anything is set. I carry mine back and forth twice a week in my trunk using a folding luggage carrier. It isn't too heavy or big, just right for my needs.

Value:
I get constant compliments on how great my sound is and that is worth everything to a performer. Your sound stinks, you stink. Period.

Desirability:
It's a big rectangle black box, what can I say. I would prefer something lighter, and smaller, which I can get but I've tried them and they don't compare.

Sound:
If you're a pro don't take my word for it, but for all you novices like me, you can take my word to the bank. That's why I love this system.

Support:
No I have not dealt with the manufacturer.

Overall:
I would expect this system to last 5 to 10 years with the usage I give it. It serves my purposes perfectly. I would buy this unit again. I wish I knew about the twist and lock speaker outputs. The instructions for using a powered monitor as opposed to a non-powered and the instructions for the preamp outputs are confusing.

"Caution to the Frugal Buyer... more trouble than what its worth!"

Feature:
The main feature that was attractive to me was the built in effects, which were fairly decent.

Quality:
This was a major disappointment as it fried on the first major use at a gig.

Value:
If you want to save money by getting a cheap product, this is it... it is cheap.

Desirability:
The only two things that was interesting was the 10 channels and the built in effects, other than that there was nothing appealing about it.

Sound:
The sound is ok, but the overall tone is hollow.

Support:
The company has very little communication with me as I tried to send it in for repair and get it replaced because they could not repair it. I have been trying to get a firm replacement date for two months now and I still have no idea when I am going to get it back.

Overall:
I have been looking for another similar product since the first week of ownership. I was very disappointed in it.

"Buy a couple of new mics with the money you save.."

Feature:
On board effects are a bonus. I wish there were pan controls. I also was unpleasantly suprised by the Speakon connections. Although after receiving store credit for exchanging the 1/4 cables, I only had to shell out an extra $30 bucks for a pair of Speakon cables.

Quality:
Quality, durable vinyl....Corner guards....and a handle...I also use the box and foam for reassurance on the road...

Value:
Do the research and the math, and then you will give it a ten...

Desirability:
I now own it. Now my friends want it.

Sound:
Sounds good. My Yamaha S15E speakers sound just as good through the Behringer as my friends Mackie which costs 3 times as much.

Support:
Have not needed any support..

Overall:
You could spend alot more money on a bigger brand name. If you feel like it...
