1. Still.Too.Complicated.

2. After some of the recent headlines involving Behringer I am divesting myself of their products. Not buying anymore of their gear.

   It’d too bad because I was super excited about the ARP Odyssey clone.

3. Dont be so melodramatic, Atomic Shadow.

4. A matter of fact statement is not being melodramatic. Go look up the word and come back at me in a way that makes literal sense.

   You might want to go back and read some of the stories coming out of Behringer’s factory as well. That way you may understand what I’m talking about in the first place.

   1. Many of the factories in China and even other countries have similar conditions. Unless you are doing a blanket avoidance of all products unless proven to have good working conditions and business practices first then its useless. That’s the only way to make a true statement on the matter. Avoiding just a specific company or few they will be fine without you. The world is a messed up place. You are born, you suffer, you die. Hopefully somewhere inbetween you have a little bit of fun.

      1. Wow so many gaping flaws in this type of mindset, where to begin?

         Everyone else does it so it’s futile.
         It won’t make a difference so why even bother.
         The world’s fucked up so who cares anyway.
         Just have fun while you can before you die.
         The pain and suffering we cause others is less important than our own gratification.
         Personal conscience no matter how small actually means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
         Blah blah blah.

         This is why we have come to where we are.
         Look and see how easily people can rationalize the worst of humanity.
         What a world.

      2. Such courage.

5. Never. Ever. Behringer.

6. Ok, ok, cue the instant Behringer hate. C’mon. It’s cheap. It’s useful. You guys sound like you’re fighting over toilet paper brands. If you’re a hobbyist w money to burn, shut up and buy something more expensive. You might even notice a difference. If you’re a pro who makes enough to use the gear you know is right, more power to you. If you’re a “semi-pro” scrounging musician like me, Behringer can be a lifesaver. I’ve had some of their gear crap out on me. I also gigged constantly on a small Behry mixer and a Behry active DI for ten years before they died. I have an FCB, used it to trigger samples live. I used my 8ch headphone amp as a driver for a spring reverb. I made records in a dive bar w their ADAT interface. Best sound? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the Behry that was limiting the quality. 🙂

   So please – get over the sweeping statements. Behry has a place, we all know where it is. Stop making yourself look like a rank amateur with stentorious cries of “DEATH TO BEHRINGER!” Just use the sh*t if you need it, jeez.

   1. Fighting over toilet paper brands….LOL…literally….+++1

7. At first I thought, maybe I could work with Behringer using their original products, but the more you read, and the way Uli Behringer handles things makes all of their products a pass for me.

8. F Berhinger.

9. This is an interesting thread, if Behringer’s work conditions and reputation start impacting their bottom line, they will take note. Happened to Ryanair in the UK.

10. Can this controller be used with a Line 6 Vetta?

11. Hmmmmm…..well if one is to boycott Behringer products for reasons mentioned then let’s also boycott all the other music industries! All these industries have one foot in the Asia for the manufacturing of boards, chips, etc! Also, not one of them is an angel for one reason or another!

12. Behringer is the only company that I have heard about exposing their workers to dangerous chemicals and threatening people with lawsuits for speaking out about it. I guess there may be others who do the same. But since Behringer is the one I heard about, it’s the one we can do something about.

    So a couple of comments above are misinformed. It isn’t a debate about toilet paper brands. In the past I have defended Behringer with people attacking the quality of their products. Hell, I own three of their mixers.

    But now that I know how they treat their workers, and the people who try to put that word out. I don’t plan to buy anything else that they make, unless I’m satisfied that they have addressed these problems and made some changes.

13. There are some legitimate criticisms of Behringer’s corporate practices (worker rights, lack of originality, etc). And it is also true that other companies are also doing similar things. But that doesn’t make it ok.

    I do think it is fine to discuss those aspects of the industry– that’s how change happens, not by throwing up our hands and saying “the world sucks” let’s have fun because we got lucky.

    As for this particular product, it is unique, (like the BRC2000). I don’t know if other companies made them before, but Behringer is still selling it now. If someone made it more ethically, I’d happily pay more for it.

    1. You might check out the Nektar Pacer.

14. Somehow this post was confused with a political campaign against Behringer?

15. it’s clear why behringer are being attacked ,and it’s because they are offering cheaper prices,apple have a bad record for treating their staff like crap to in china,,,,funny you do not mention apple !
    a clear assasination attempt by the likes of dave smith and who ever is running moog ,just so they can keep their over inflated prices ,i even suspect there is some soft synth companies slagging behringer of to…

    you should all be ashamed of yourselves ,behringer have done nothing the others do not do….

16. Succes makes lots of people jealous.
