Paul, you will hear a lot of **** from people whose gut response is to hate

Well, you'll hear two kinds of ****:

First of all you'll hear people who complain about the quality of Behringer
products, and I personally can't say much either way about that. As far as
I can tell they make some decent stuff at a price point and they make some
very poor stuff at a price point too. You could say the same about a lot
of manufacturers.

But secondly, you'll hear people who complain about a lot of unsavory
business practices that Behringer engaged in 25 years ago when he was
first getting started.

Unsavory practices? Like what, out of curiosity?

Duplicating Aphex exciters so precisely that they left the Aphex logo on the
new PC boards they made, for instance.

To a much lesser extent, copying much of the design of the Mackie 1604 part
for part. That wasn't anywhere near as blatant, especially since there really
was nothing innovative about the 1604 electronics per se.

But sheesh, if you're going to copy the 1604, at least increase the value
of that feedback capacitor in the mike preamp so the low end response doesn't
change when you adjust the trims....
