Uli Behringer Answers questions on a public forum

[Smithy]

This thread should make an interesting read.

And should provide a clearer insight into Behringer and Music group,

and the direction they are moving them after the acquisition of Midas.

People didn't exactly hold back with the questions also. :wink:

One useful thing about Thomann which Uli pointed out, that I never took notice of before:

Thomann have the failure rate for each manufacturer on the top right corner of the manufacturer's page:

As you can see Behringer clocks in at a rather low 0.73% in the last 3 years.

Obviously one would wonder if that figure is the real figure and not made up.

I could only imagine how high the % would be for the last 15 years! ;)

Pioneer: 0,28%

Allen&Heath: 0,95%

"Interessting" - don't trust any statistics, ya don't have counterfeit by yaself! :D :ahappy:

To strike a blow for Uli, the technical-designs aren't bad at all (observe the price), but the huge failure-rate and series-deviation make it unacceptable, at least for me.

Yeah, lets hope what he says about the midas team helping him to output better quality is true.

Does anyone here own a 32X?

It would be interesting to see if the quality of the desk is as good as Uli is saying.

I have it's predecessor the DDX3216 á la dodgy Power Supply.
