Re: Looper's Little Mixers...

["Wavecomputer360" <wavecomputer360@gmx.de>]

Yes, earlier Behringer designs tended to sound terrible. I use the MX2642A
in silver livery, though, and this one sounds very good. Not as good as a
Mackie 1604VLZ but still very well usable. The earlier models (which came 
in
dark-blue or grey livery) sounded terrible (I went through several of 
them).
I guess Behringer is still the best "bang for the buck" ratio,
unfortunately, especially when your budget is tight.

Stephen (who´s going to switch from Behringer to Mackie in his live rig
soon).
