Ok folks, I know this is off topic and not related to V-drums directly, but I want to get this out....
We just purchased a Behringer MX8000 Eurodesk console from a studio...in absolute MINT condition so we thought. This baby looked sweet - 8 bus, 6 aux sends/returns, meter bridge....case... we were pumped - UNTIL we plugged it in. It literally lasted 24 seconds, then locked up. After inspecting the external power supply for loose solders, and some basics on the console, we determined that this thing is %()&*#ED up. VERY disappointing.
After some more research, I found that ALL Eurodesk mixers are known for poor quality, poorly designed circuitry, power supply problems, and have actually cut out in the middle of recordings & gigs... MAN it pays to do some research first!
One gets what one pays for.
This thing is going back and the charges are being disputed. It was DOA in my definition.
We are going with a Mackie 32x4x2 VLZ. Same price, Mackie quality...some less features, but I need reliability.
Just a buyer beware.....FYI....for those in the market.
