This mixer seems really cool for the price - I was looking at an 01v, but now... Hmmm...

Anybody had a play with this thing?? Whadaya think??

u kidding, right? how many input channels does it have? and how many EQs per channel? and how many compressors? how many outputs? motorised faders? man, when i was buying a mixer i took a ProMix (the old one, not 01v) over VM3100. and that was after a thorough check out.

^ Provided link so one may get the full details


oh yeah, PLUS, no percieved latency in Sonar with softies - the included PCI card IS made by M Audio(!) so it's solid.

Finally, don't by this mixer stand alone, get the "kit" (the boxed version with card, cable etc).

Sorry guys! - Also, ensure you get the 3100PRO, not the standard.

How do you figure it kills the 01V, when you only get 2 compressors and 1 less band of EQ per channel?

IMHO, the biggest single advantage to the 01V is that you get the compressors and EQs on 16 channels.

two things -

1. it really looks like the Ramsa/Panasonic mixer doesnt it!?

2. this myth about behringer?... well ALL the Uk-bound mackies were recalled due to faults recently! but they have a prestine reputation... the old Eurodesk had a power supply issue but it seems s shame to tar Begringer with this mythological 'unreliable' tag - I dont think they are really less reliable than anything esle are they really??

I second that K. Like I said, I have two of those 10-channel Behringers that you can run off of batteries. They've both been reliable, feel pretty well built, and sound pretty damn good - all for under $150 US.

No complaints here.

and i will say to balance it out that my mate who's head buyer for a LARGE audio gear company told me of having to return 80+% of a batch of A&H desks some time back - everyone can have production glitches but Behringer were doubl;y unluck getting sued and having a first bacth unreliable... I think mackie supporters played on this crap 'made in USA' (should be 'constructed in the USA' like Harleys), and attacked Behringer by using the faulty batch as a generalisation saying or suggesting it was cos they were made in China and ergo Behringer as a whole were 'unreliable' but that doesnt explain the slew of reliable kit released before going into making a mixer -

I think they make GREAT cheap gear, that's all... and if you can get a Euromix for 500 quid, thats ALOT of mixer for the cash!
