Re: Failure rate
I'm not sure this is really a fair assertion. The opening post stated, "This should be a great opportunity to learn a little more about the industry, several of our most beloved brands, and the future of manufacturing for Pro Audio." As such, there has been some discusssion about various brands under the Music Group umbrella, and mostly about Behringer, and, as was stated, the Elephant in the Room: perceptions of Berhinger's quality and service. Some mention of particular products were brought up in an effort to determine specifics over the 0.7% claimed failure rate, which Frank added to. The DEQ was mentioned earlier, which is a popular entry level DEQ, and Frank's product of choice is THE product of choice for anyone starting into any software based mixing such as Software Audio Console, or expansion of digital mixing boards via ADAT-equipped preamps. Moreover, I know Frank, and know of his trials with his ADA8000s and how much of a generous chance he gave them, and how they failed in a critical application, so it's not as if he's simply willy-nilly brand bashing. I, personally, would appreciate hearing Uli's feedback on this and other entry level gear that is half the price or less of it's nearest competitor.
