Sound quality is great.. I use it for Radio Broadcasts.. so it HAS to be good!

I like the fact that it has so many channels.. I have 2 mini disc decks.. cassette.. Dennons and 2 tech 12's and soon CDJ.. atleast I can hook all of it up into ONE mixer!

Very easy to use! Been mixing for 21 years.. nice board... not to hot on the faders...

faders seem to be reliable unless you beat the crap out of it... excellent quality for yout buck!

great value for your buck.. works great!

Never dealt with the company... thats how reliable it is.. after 2 years of mixin on it.. solid unit!

As far as mixers go, I've never had more crisp sound from my EV SX500's. I mean I used 2 other Gemini's before this and this by far is the best!

The features are ok, enough to get me through my dances with no hassle.

Its been easy to use for myself, but then again I also have used both a 32 and 40 channel Allen & Heath board.

Great quality, no problems I can't handle.

Great price for a Great product.

Supports not bad.

Anything the clients ask for.

I've had a crappy Numark, and this sounds by far, the best. Compared with Rane or Ecler mixers, this sucks.

Has a lot of features. Haven't had a chance to use the fx yet. Sadly, it didn't have reverse crossfaders, and everything on it seemed basic

I just plugged it in, and started to mix.

Everything seemed... BLEH! I was surprised that the crossfader was smooth and able to take a beating! Compared to a 100 dollar numark I bought, this has better quality

Pretty cheap!

Don't know

Too many channels. If you were serious about music and needed 7 channels, why the hell would you by this cheap mixer?

Noisy, the mics can't be turn down, can listen all channels even at 0 gain....

The features could be nice, if they really do what they say...

The price is nice, but the mixer isn't

Very noisy. There's a very loud hiss that is present with only this mixer (I own a bunch of others). It's so bad, that I can't turn my powered speakers up past 1/2 way or the hiss is just too embarassing. This mixer has no headroom whatsoever. I have to run it with the gains at 10/10, the channel faders at 9/10 and the master at 3/4 before it's danceable volume.

On paper the features are great. Key among them is the multiple mic inputs. The problem is that the mic volume knobs don't cut the mic's off. Even with the mic volume knobs at 0/10, the mic signal comes through loud and clear. You can cut the mic by depressing the mic mute button. However, the problem is that if you're running the board maxed out as described above, the lowest possible volume still feeds back. The only way I can use a mic with this board is to use a wireless because it has it's own volume.

Quality and design are really bad. Some of the problems may stem from the fact that the power source on this mixer is internal. The noise-free Behringer mixers I own all have external power supplie and this seems to work better. Also, I jam my fingers every time you try to disconnect the XLR outs on the back of the overly-recessed rear panel.

If someone wanted to hand me one of these mixers for free, I wouldn't waste the energy it takes to reach out and grab it.

I haven't dealt with Behringer regarding this mixer, but I have tried to get service out of them for my DX-1000 and it wasn't pleasant. They have a North American division so you don't have to call Germany, but just because they speak English doesn't mean they're going to understand what you're saying.

Ugly. The BPM counter lights are ugly. They are using dim incandescent lights that don't look very sharp. In a day and age where companies such as Denon and Numark are using super bright, super sharp LED's, Behringer could have done better.

Weddings & some club stuff.

Cross fader is useless. When fully fadded to one channel you can still hear noise off of the other side of the fadder no madder which channel is selected. Coming off a peavey mixer that was 10+ years old and a newer gemini I am very disapointed in Behringer and have now decided to try to trade it in.

The ideas behind this mixer are great but they do not work the way that was promised. The Beat counter does work in any settings and I have to use the counter on my cd player.(Not the way to go!)

The sliders are to light and not protected form dust and dirt. As a Smoker the hassel of cleaning and watching every speck of dirt on this mixer is horrible. While Moible DJing I had a drink spilt on my peavey mixer. With a can of compressed air i was back playing in a matter of seconds. This would never happen when with a flashlight I can see the elecetic boards inside.

Really cheap if you don't care how it works or how it sounds.

WOW, I didn't think anyone would make a mixer of this quality any more!!! Worst I've ever used. Behringer failed miserably trying to improve on the older VX1000 model.

Great ideas, POOR results. The BPM counter is way out. Too many problems to list.

everything you could possibly think of.

The sound of this mixer is absolutely not great. Behringer announced THD

The crossfader is terrible, as you can hear all the channels all the time, no mater what crossfader curve or channels in use. Main faders are poorly engineered, as there is no minimal proportion in the levels, when you turn them up to level 9 out of 10 it increases like 1/3 the power at the outputs in relation with level 7. This is terrible for dj use. The beatcounter is another failure, as it never has the right reading of the BPM by its auto-counter. The only high standard feature is the headphones monitoring, that works fair even compared to a mixer 4x more expensive.

Has a very tiny space between the faders, so its hard to use them efficiently if you need to use two faders close to each other.

The overall quality is far worst from acceptable for a serious ending.

I doubt anyone will pay more than 100 euro for a used unit in the perfect conditions, and if they do, they are as smart as a rock..

Never had nothing breaking on the mixer, so I never had to deal with Behringer. At least something positive about it.

A lot of good ideas and features, as for example the adjustable crossfader, the beat counter, or the XLR balanced outputs... but unfortunately none of this ideas has been successfully implemented in a useful way.

Pretty good sound, however, i agree that there is a little zzzz noise at no volume.... barely noticable

Great features; beat counter, sound enhancer, etc best for the money

Very easy to use, only consulted instructions once

Pretty well made, tough but the faders are too soft, but work well

Great value a+

Great, looks awesome

Sound on this unit was horrible. There was a noticeable hiss when I was using this mixer. Lots of crosstalk between the faders. Even when the crossfader was fully assigned to the 2nd channel I could still hear the CD playing on the first channel.

Gains and EQ worked well. The EQ kills were a nice toy, made for some interesting effects. The effects loop, however, was utterly useless. The effects loops signal is taken at the PFL section. The only way to use it is to set the PFL switch on the channels. Doing this effectively bypassess the crossfader. The crossfader becomes useless and you have to manually use the individual channel faders.

I've seen worse.

This mixer wasn't worth the cheap price. The price was cheap, and so was the mixer.
