Most people don't have the luxury of choosing their tools for every job.
Behringer mass produce their products using the cheapest methods possible
out of China which also includes the dubious practice of copying others in
their industry (cough: Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Google...) and high
turnover that has resulted in their market domination for the low price
end of the market.
Our tests on this side of the pond have given us confidence in Behringer
products. Not only are they cheap but they also represent very good value
for money and we can't fault the signal/noise ratio on the units we have
tested.
The Music Group is a strange company in the audio hardware manufacturing
industry. They do hardly any marketing because they recognise that if you
Make things cheap and good enough to get the job done and people will buy
them. That simple directive has enabled them to become the biggest audio
hardware manufacturer on the planet. Almost the complete opposite of any
other successful audio hardware company. In a way they are actually
enabling the masses to create and produce music rather than keeping it
solely the domain of the wealthy elite who can afford to spend the price
of a European house on a new toy ;-)
