How _do_
they make this stuff so damn inexpensive??
Because factory workers in China get 1 day off every two weeks, and wages
start at under 1 US dollar per day.
Erp... now the guilt sets in. But thank you for the information; it
is a good thing to know.
Of course there are lots of cheap audio products made in China under
various brand names - all those large diaphragm mics made for 1/10 the
price of a Neumann are made that way.
For what it's worth, another complaint about Behringer is that they
are alleged to have copied the designs of other manufacturers' more
expensive products. I think that accusation applied in connection with
Mackie mixers, for instance.
