The channel buses are badly shielded, phono preamps are noisy and I get terrible sound leakage from the 3 phono channels that are on the same bus.

To be featurefull, it is. This mixer has every single feature a crossfading mixer could possibly have besides an integrated beat counter, but a handheld unit was included in the package.

This unit can take a lot of physical stress. I could drop it and not be too worried.

The most features for the money, but not the best sound.

I did not have to contact Behringer for support.

Knowing about its noisy electronic layout makes me want it less, but i have to admit that looking at the unit and looking at the price tag makes you say "You're comming home with me."

The sound quality of this mixer is pretty good. The channel-to-channel leakage is actually minimal - despite the review above - and the tone control ranges are well considered.

The most useful features are the wide range of input channels available, the assignable cross-fader, and the automatic talk-over facility. The signal and peak LEDs on each channel are useful too.The more useless features are the "main boost" and "main mute" push buttons (I can't think of any use for either of them), and the "bass disable" buttons on the stereo channels are worthless.

It's an easy mixer to use. There should be no "learning curve" for novice users.

It's pretty well made for a Behringer product, and the channel faders are good quality. The only parts that cause any concern are the push switches. These easily get dirty and then operate very intermittently! This can cause major problems with the PFL and input selection on each channel, and - worse yet - the low cut switches on the microphone channels prevent ANY microphone signal if they get dirty. I haven't been able to find a source for replacement push switches yet.

It's OK - at first - but be prepared to replace the push switches shortly after the guarantee period expires!

I have requested information about spare parts from Behringer, but they have never replied.

Its flexibility and good audio quality make this a good budget choice for a community radio station or internet broadcaster (that's what I use mine for: www.raidersfm.com). You must be prepared to do some basic maintenance after a year or two!

I THINK ITS BEST TO SEE IT IN PERSON YOU WIIL LIKE IT BETER.

all house music.

About average sound quality for a mid end mixer. The main issue I have with the sound is the low overall amplification of the line inputs. I have used other mixers in my setup that can get over +7 db output without even trying, but the VMX-1000 can barely get to 0 dbm with the trim pots at max and the channel sliders at 10 with the main output at max.

Lots of features, though some of them can use a little refinement. The channel channel level LED's need better resolution. They are +7, 0, -20, -30 and fairly useless for anything other than a basic signal indicator.

OK for a unit built in China.

Sounds are great, gave it an eight because I wish there was a kill on all eq levels, not just bass......i'm being picky

-Absolutely love the cut/transform buttons on the side of the cross-fader. -Super adjustable cross fader curve and overlap. -Enough inputs for everything, I currently have 2 turntables, cd/dvd player and synth hooked up and mash on all @ the same time while moving between w/ great ease. -Those are theh big ones that I have discovered and I am sure there are many more I will discover later

-metal body -sturdy construction -A very well thought out product w/ everything you could need

-Price to value ratio is awsome. -couldn't find anything close to this and I really looked hard on the internet, word of mouth, prices, the whole bit and this is the best I could find

No problems as of yet

-High sex appeal in design, performance, adjustability, cost, the whole bit

Sound quality is very good. You can match different sources to sound the same.

Great features, especially the faders.

Product is very reliable and solidly built. I did have some trouble putting it together after setting the crossfader control.

Great value for the money!

I contacted Behringer about a 220-Volt power supply and they were very quick in responding with my request.

Just too darn big! Please ensure that you have a lot of workspace when buying mixer.
