I'm getting ready to list two of these on eBay. 4 Band analog processor from the days when Behringer wasn't making $99 stuff. If anyone wants them before I do that, email me at bob at c3bb dot com .

I think some of the Ramsey stuff might have been, but hadn't heard that about Behringer. I don't think they make RF products, do they? Behringer stuff is a great vakue for the money...just that their compression technique could use some refining. Their Eurorack and Eurodesk mixers are a tremendous value...as long as you don't use them in a high RF environmant.amfmsw said:
Basically they didn't pay to have their stuff tested from what I can tell. So, they get dinged for it but manufactures of some CFL lamps and computers get away with throwing hash up and down the band big time. The good 'ol FCC... Incompetence at it's finest!
This all came down during the suit(s) with Mackie.
It seems likely there was a complaint to the FCC by Mackie but I know of no proof.

I've dealt with quite a few Behringer devices over the years. Every one of their DSP-based products I've encountered has produced more hash than Afghanistan. But, they're no different than any other budget-level, DSP-based device out there. Keep them away from wireless mic receivers that don't have a metal case. That said, the old MDX8000's were a pretty neat box that could make some great-sounding audio. I would think that one of those ahead of a streaming encoder would work nicely, especially when you consider the price.

I use Behringer products with success. As long as you understand because of their value shortcomings are likely, but work around it and all is well. Also, once a Berhinger product dies it becomes an offering to the dumpster gods.
I have a 9024 and only use it for the multiband compressor, the rest of the unit does more damage than good. This is especially true with its unforgiving limiter. The conversion process works, not perfect but works, as long as you use uncompressed wav files. Mp3's on the other hand that are already shredded are shredded beyond belief through the converter. I use the 9024 with an A.R.T V.L.A in front of it when I feel like playing trashy pop music through my home stereo for that radio sound. All that is missing is reverb.

The FCC always wants to seem like they are throwing their weight around. The story they put out is totally veiled though. The real story is not nearly as sensational as it is stupid and hilarious, in some ways. What really happened is someone who works for Behringer who was in charge of dealing with the submissions to the FCC had forgotten to submit the papers on all of the products now in question. They actually WERE approved by the FCC, but this lady (who i won't name) literally forgot to sign the final forms and send them in.
This didn't have anything to do with any suits by Mackie. Behringer has been getting sued by Mackie since the mid 90s.
The book on these shows that they will operate on 110 volts or 220 volts. Anyone know how to switch between the two voltages?
