[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 89576, member: 67"] Re: List of digital consoles Hi Harry- There is a mega-thread in the Jr Varsity forum... almost 6,000 posts... that gets into all the new-release issues. Yes, there were bad faders. Behringer is rolling their own, and it looks like they had a bad run of pieces that got installed in early production. The forum posts regarding faders stopped fairly quickly which leads me to believe that the number of defective faders was relatively small & that Behringer stepped up to service the defective consoles or that the folks with defective faders have stopped complaining (unlikely). They've built somewhere around 800k faders for the units sold so far. I'm not a fan their historic R&D practices and the lack of service for their products, but it seems that Uli has a big enough war chest that he has decided to spend some of it re-making the support chain for their higher-end products. Time will tell if this is a sustainable model for them, but right now it's a welcome step in the right direction. We've not bought any X32, but we'd consider them for work where the console would be exposed to conditions that would warrant a 'disposable' approach. Still waiting to see what longer-term issues surface before we put the desk on the to-be-considered list. [/QUOTE]
