it is very hard to find the sweet spot, but I've found it with a lot of trial/error. the manual is not very instructive. they have to show some examples, or some starting point. I use it with my wirelles shure sm86 handheld mic for live performance.I turn the mic gain at two o' clock(watch the leds), low cut at 90 hz,gate at 60-70, compressor at 15/100,and the filter at auto 25/6. that way it works.from the shark to line input in the mixer. the sound is full, open and punchy. it projects easily through the mix but lacks warmth or smoothness. different settings are not good or distort. before I also used behringer's mic100 tube preamp. while warmer, it made a lot of noice and feedback and muffled the tone. the shark is cleaner and cuts the mix like a real shark in the water :)

nice features, I use all but the delay.low cut is very useful, the compressor is very mysterious,I dont get the concept of "density",and the speed is not clear - is this atack,reliese or a combo?!? but I found my setting: 15 for density and 100 for speed. the filter affects the sound a lot if you push it hard.it loses sparkle. I leave it at very subtle setting 25/6,and take care of moving with the mic. I would appreciate if behringer offer similar suisse knife product in car radio size with some tube(warming) emulation and some analog delay, for singers on the move. it would be bestseller.

relatively easy to learn it, but not easy to get good sound. the manual does not tell you how to set the device. it only explains the features.this product is not for ingeneers only, so they have to give some guidance for customers.

no complaint. it feels sturdy,is very small, fits everywhere. the power input seems to be most vulnerable, but I take care when I connect it.

of course.

I needed some answers about how to use the device. sent the questions on their site and recieved prompt answer.

it's a nice little device.

IT COLORS THE SOUND A BIT AND YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH IT AND YOUR EQ SETTINGS TO GET A NICE FULL SOUND, BUT IT'S FINE. I WROTE A REVIEW A FEW MONTHS BACK WHEN I FIRST GOT IT AND AT THAT TIME THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR PRACTICES BUT NOT FOR ACTUAL PERFORMANCES. I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

IT HAS A LOT OF USES AND THAT'S WHY I KEEP GOING BACK TO IT. IN THE PROCESS I'VE GAINED A NEW RESPECT FOR IT.

THE FIRST ONE I BOUGHT WAS USED IN THE STORE AND SOMEONE ABUSED IT. THE CORD JACK WAS FAULTY. THE STORE REPLACED IT FOR ME BUT THE EXPERIENCE TAINTED MY INITIAL PERCEPTION. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE REPLACEMENT.

FOR THE PRICE IT'S A VERY HANDY TOOL.

I HAVEN'T DEALT DIRECTLY WITH BEHRINGER, BUT THE STORE WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY ORDER THE REPLACEMENT.
