[QUOTE="Arik Semagin, post: 115171, member: 5072"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Well, you can list pages of copied products, by many, not only Behringer (add his first digital mixer too, the 3216, a-la Yamaha 01v). Yes, he did it blatantly in some cases, too obvious, but bottom line he's at the top now with unique products. Now he's got R&D power and patent portfolio of MIDAS and Klark Teknik and can make original products, didn't have it before. Mackie at the other ends is struggling (I'm a big fan of Mackie too, used pretty much all their analog mixers in the past, including big SR40-8). Even though they had hit products in the past, they've missed the target somewhere (yes, DL1608 is great, but Mackie should've been a major player in digital desks by now).
