Behringer mixers.... your views?!?!

[Evilhedfuk]

My mixer is slowly dying

 

So i'm on the look out for a new one!

 

I want something a bit better than my current one but don't have a lot to spend...

 

What are people's views on Behringer mixers?

 

They seem to only make mixers that are blatent copies of other companies.

 

Are these cheap alternatives worth a look or should I steer clear of them???

 

Discuss.....

get a cheap vestax

[Evilhedfuk]

Is that a no to a Behringer then?

 

 

ps are u on commission from Vestax???

[Ian Cashman]

no, i just got a vestax and it was cheap but quality

Behringer mixers are good m8y if do't inttend on using it on a club, they make cheap replicars of mixers like vestax and pioneer, infact the repilac djm600 they recently released is really good as my friend bought it.

Was just looking at that one (The DJX700) a bit more in my price range than it's Pioneer brother...

I'd get it if i was u m8y, its a great bit of kit for its price plus lots of extra. It does everything a boring Vestax does and more for cheaper.

[Ian Cashman]

lol...it is pretty much exactly the same as those pioneer ones... never see them b4

[Andy Whitby]

Its nice isn't it, really nice.

fooking hell, I would have thought there would be some kind of copyright on the design - wiered !

 

how much is this clone ?

[Chris Hutchinson]

looks good, but missing the best bit of the djm600... the sampler!

 

being able to loop parts of a tune over itself allows for some interesting tricks :-)

Get it for £160 m8y!

 

And Chris, it doesn't have a sampler but witht emoney your saving u can buy a really good one anyway.

[Chris Hutchinson]

very true!

It would be interesting to see how long they last - my DJM600 has been going for 4 years and is still as good as new. The only glitch was when beer got spilt on it and one of the channel faders when sticky, so I replaced it. From what I've seen and heard of Behringer mixers (my mate has a small two channel one) they seem fine for home use. To be fair at that price you cant grumble at all.
