so I let someone borrow my mixer for a show last weekend, and when it was returned to be the line inputs are fucked up....I can never get full volume as compared to the phono inputs...

I used my 1st channel line input for a CD deck for intros, samples and other shit I couldnt find on vinyl, and I used channel 2 for mp3 input to play on my main stereo...so basically I need those line inputs

I currently have a Behringer DX-500, but that model has gone out of production...the currently available Behringer model is the DX-1000, it's pretty advanced for me, but the basics of the DX-500 are still there (except for the 12 second digital sampler, it was need but I never really used it anyways)

so I just wanted to get opinions on it



here's some info on it

i currently am using a behringer eurorack mx 2004. I upgraded from a tiny mackie 1204 (12 channel) Behringer ripped off mackie in everyway and used chinese labor to cut the price. I haven't had any problems with it so for and its been a year. the bigger model shouldn't be much different than the model you used to have. So if you can afford it than go for it.

i'm using a Pioneer DJM-600....great fuckin mixer....really easy to use and figure everything out once ya use it once or twice...if ya got a grand or so this would be the mixer of choice....but that's my opinion..

hmmm...let's see...a grand for a mixer that I wont use 90% of the bells and whistles on....or $150 for a mixer I won't use 50% of the bells and whistles on

think Imma have to go with the Behringer

Whats your plans for your old one?...you dont think its repairable at all?....

I'm sure it is, but why spend $50-$100 on a mixer that I got brandnew for $140?...the person who borrowed it says he's going to have someone look at it, so I'll wait and see what comes of that before I buy a new mixer

fucking amen!

i've heard the DX1000 is a good box.. basically the same deal as the DX500 construction, just more goodies. havn't used one though.

I own a behringer compressor and have used some other behringer stuff, and they seem to be one of the better brands of inexpensive gear.

stay away from the new (VMC i think) series of behringer mixers, they havnt really been proven yet and are much more toy-like than the old DX series....
