Behringer Racktuner BTR2000
By pdecirce on 08/07/2008 at 21:43 Music is your Profession.

Overall Opinion  
Behringer is well known for good looking products that are affordable and usable; this rack tuner is no exception. Featuring a stylish led design and a super lightweight construction (yet durable), this is a fine product for its price. It is also a metronome, which is helpful in rehearsal or even performance situations. It lights up clearly and easily to be seen in the dark of a club. There are 2 1/4'' inputs, 2 1/4'' outputs as well as foot pedal relays. The internal computer allows for memorized settings as well as various modes making this more than just a rack tuner.

It should be mentioned however that Behringer gear, on the low-end, can be a little fragile, however once this is racked it shouldn't be removed too often so it will stay safe, it's just that some of their gear has some kind of hard plastic stuff they use and it can easily take on scrapes, mars and even in some cases, knobs are usually found to be falling off or breaking. This isn't the care with this tuner, though. Its internal driven rack is solid and much thought was put into the function of this for the working musician.

A band that tunes at a different note than concert A will find this unit helpful as it will memorize the setting of their detuned note and consider it 'A' when they tune, allowing for a quick job. There is also lines in and out for foot pedals, making this an option when playing live. In the studio it's ideal for any instrument.

Most other models, while of similar or better quality, can't seem to match price with functionability as Behringer does. Their lower end products accurately find the market hole and fill them in; whether it be a multi-use tuner for the rack or a 4 channel phantom powered mixer for an acoustic singer, it seems as though Behringer is a good company for that. Just beware that their hardware can usually buckle under a bit of strenuous activity. This rack unit should provide years of reliable use, taken care of.

Behringer XENYX 2442FX
By docdrum1225 on 07/29/2008 at 05:00 Serious about music, want to make it your profession.

Characteristics  
I’m not a huge audio buff, but I do enjoy being able to record my own music. When I first looked into a mixer I bought a small Behringer mixer thinking I wasn’t get that much because I only paid $80, but I was wrong. The mixer was great it lasted me for two years before I decided I wanted to make a real investment in a mixing board that I could record with and do live gigs with. I looked into getting a firewire or USB interface but everything was ridiculously expensive and I got minimal XLR inputs. I then decided maybe I should just get the bigger version of the great mixer I already had. I went through with it and made a real investment in it, but it was worth every penny. Not only did I get 10 XLR inputs but I received a whole bunch of other inputs for other things. When I read the manual I also saw that I got two things I was not aware of. In addition to the great mixer I got a USB interface to improve the recording quality but I also got a whole built-in panel of effects. I tried out the effects and they were decent but they do come in handy when I want to record my drums in a small room but make them sound like their in the biggest room I can imagine. The mixer gives you tons of options. Right now, I’m looking into purchasing a power amp replace my Live PA head with this piece of fine equipment. On top of the working functions of the mixer, it’s rack mountable! It’s great to be able to get a rack and just throw this thing on it. It really does make the whole using process easy. If you’re looking for something inexpensive but built with quality and unlimited features this is the mixer for you!
Utilisation  
Very easy and efficient
Maunal was more than helpful
Sounds  
Effects are decent

Behringer ULTRAGAIN PRO-8 DIGITAL ADA8000
By AnimalTracksStudio on 05/12/2008 at 17:48

Characteristics  
Converts Standard Analog in 1/4 and XLR to 24 ADA Digital output via Lightpipe.
Overall Opinion  
Talk about a needed accessory in today’s digital workstation world and you will eventually settle upon the need for something like this.

The Behringer ADA8000 is an eight channel digital to analog converter which serves as an eight channel Mic pre amp that can convert the signal into eight discreet channels of ADAT Light Pipe audio at twenty four bit for insertion into any DAW that accepts ADAT and it keeps everything in the Digital domain so you get pristine audio sound and the best part is, it is affordable.

You have eight XLR inputs and eight quarter inch inputs so it is very versatile as a front end input for your Light Pipe equipped DAW.

The XLR inputs also are Phantom powered so you can save a few bucks on not buying a separate power unit for your Mics.

There is a front mounted gain control on each channel that is used on both inputs so you can control what is going out the other end to your Computer, the ADAT section has both an input and an output making it quite system flexible and the outputs are via eight balanced XLR connectors so if you use it as a Pre Amp or Phantom supply, the eight channels can go right into your main mixer with no worries or effort.

What does all this mean to you? A Lot.

If you have a DAW, the eight channels into Light Pipe will allow you to free up the usual eight channels of analog inputs on your interface for more things so you end up with eight channels of digital in and eight channels of analog in or a full sixteen channels of audio input into your computer, which is more than enough to record an average band on separate tracks on a live session or gig.

This is an item that I highly recommend you get for your studio or live recording set up.

Behringer EUROLIVE PERFORMER E1520
By Jaker on 03/30/2008 at 22:50

Overall Opinion  
I bought 2 of these speakers as part of a package (pmx2000, these cabs, mics, chords) and I am happy with the performance. The speakers sound great with the matching pa, keeping in mind that I have never pushed them beyond 250 watts the pa provides. We (4 piece rock band) use these for smaller club gigs (vocals mostly but some instrument support) and they seem to do the job. My biggest complaint is that there is only an input and no output so you can't daisy chain them. For the money these are great to run in a small system but if you are looking for a pair of cabs that can be a flexible part of an interchangeable system (adding extra cabs or running as chained monitors), these are not the ones.

Behringer B-1
By son of the doctor on 03/29/2008 at 21:49 Music is a hobby.

Characteristics  
Microphone for home-studio.
Condenser, one single diaphragm.
Overall Opinion  
I use it for three year, when I havn't enough money, it returned services!!
Of course high-pitched are missing but you can use a multi-band compressor (or de-esser) to correct it...
This was my first microphone, for 100$ only its a very good choice! Now, I'm going to buy a Neumann U87 because I've got a good job but When I was a student, this product saved my life!

Behringer PMX2000
By Jaker on 03/28/2008 at 15:34

Overall Opinion  
I bought this about a year ago as part of a package (including speakers, mics and cables) from a major online merchant and I am very happy with it. This was by far a less expensive set up than equivalent rigs from other brands. Though I was at first afraid I would compromise quality for price, I am impressed with the product that I got for my hard earned dollar. The plastic knobs concern me a little but I use common sense and care when lugging my gear around and have had no troubles with the mixer. As for tone, it really sounds great with the on-board digital effects processor (super for vocals). With 250 watts per channel, it is surprising spunky for its small size and affordable price. It has 12 channels making it a versatile stand alone set up for smaller clubs and practice spaces. I use this with my cover band in small club settings for vocals and some slight instrument support and it works perfect. This powered mixer is well worth the money.

Behringer ULTRAGAIN PRO-8 DIGITAL ADA8000
By moosers on 03/25/2008 at 01:14 Music is your Profession.

Characteristics  
I use this with the ADAT ins and out for my Digidesign 002R. It has 8 basic preamps, with an XLR/line in and an out for each of them. The main function of this is to hook it up with the ADAT jacks I believe, using them as external preamps, good for someone with an interface that only has a few inputs and wants extra preamps at a ridiculously cheap price.
Overall Opinion  
I've had this for about 3 years now and I have used it both with my Digidesign 002R and I used to have a MOTU 896HD and it worked great with both of them, espically with my 002R since it only has 4 preamps on it and to record drums its great to have the option of having 12 preamps instead of just 4. But the thing I like most about this unit is the price. Considering how cheap this is there is no excuse to be without one if you are looking for more preamps on a budget. Obviously these are not the best preamps in the world, but if you are simply looking to have more inputs it won't color the sound too much, and with some good mics it doesn't sound bad at all. Until I upgrade with a few more high end preamps, I'll be holding onto mine for awhile.
