"BUY ME!! BUY ME!! BUY ME!! BUY ME!! BUY ME!! BUY ME!!(LOL)"
Sound:
The whole unit is VERY LOW noise except the internal effects unit which has some noise on it but, other than that, I LOVE the sound, especialy the preseet number 5 which is a concert hall, adds so much dimension to any acousticaly dead environment as well as the XPQ surround sound can add alot of dimension as well to your stereo image, but just dont overdo it with the XPQ, the best position I have found is about 1 O'clock. Running your mix through both the concert hall preset on the internal effects as well as using the XPQ will add so much depth and make your stereo mix sound awesome!!
Feature:
love the 9 band eq and the internal effects as well as the sweeping mids on mono channels...
Quality:
not the absoulte best quality, but not the worst. Good enough for any DJ, small sound reinforcement purposes, small bands, or whatever is smaller sized. I am currently on my second 1832 becuase my first one just randomly decided that its internal effects would one day not work at all, but dont worry if the effects unit malfunctions, it still resumes basic mixer functions, just without the effetcs and will display either D2 or F2, and so far, this new one doesnt seem like its going to be malfunctioning in any way anytime soon...
Manufacturer Support:
I have had 2 situations in which i emailed them and for the first situation, I was emailed back not even 10 mintues after I emailed behringer. For the second situation, it took them about 4 days to email me back, I dont know why... For this, since they both averaged out to be about the normal response time, I'll give them an 8...
Value:
You definately get all the cool features and options usualy seen on high priced consoles for only $230!!
The Wow Factor:
I love everything about it, how cheap it is, 6 mono channels with 1 sweeping mid, PFL/AFL for every channel, beign able to solo any send/ return) 4 stereo channels, 9 band graphic eq, internal effects, and XPQ surround!!
Overall:
I am going to be using this for quite some time to come for whatever it's needed for and I dont expect a replacement anytime soon, just yeas on top of years of "just listening" (this is the slogan of behringer)...
