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.
