[QUOTE="Johannes Zotti, post: 203428, member: 10893"] hi Art although i have seen more praises for Behringer consoles in the last years, for what I DO i would rather have the Allen eq, preamps, faders, single but quality effect and balanced outputs (avoids a good direct box that costs half the mixer price...). but we play mostly vinyl and if it has to be digital it has to be at least 320 kbps if not hi def flac/aiff, not average 128kbps garbage. i know most of the time the difference will not be noticed in pa, but all the little things get summed and the more you got it right the better - that's my philosophy. and i am a little bit more confident in its reliability - but that's more a matter of luck - and solidity, and the A&H feels way more solid. plus it's gain structure means you can set it up with master at max (where it ends most of the time with most djs)with less probability of overdriving it - of course someone could still crank up the channel gains, but that's all. i think, if someone doesn't care, a&h or behringer would be the same, but a&h would do better for the sound and the sound system probably. if someone cares or knows a little, A&H would be preferred . the berry could be the better choice only if someone was using three sources at the same time. not many people do that at the level you are looking at i think and if he can do that, hey he deserves a Rane :razz:! and keep in mind that dj mixers get a lot of stress on faders, they start to give problems soon if not of good quality - i have come across a lot of cheap mixers with sloppy, farting faders.
