Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A

Hi Uli, I'm looking forward to the x32. I used to own a ddx3216 and loved the ui of that desk. In fact I've always found Behringer digital gear to be easily among the best for usability however I've also been stung by build quality and reliability issues (caps in my ddx3216 fell out of the board when it was moved around) and I've been disappointed by the quality of analog circuits. So the ddx3216 was great in the digitsl world but the on board preeamps were noisy and frankly a bit poor compared to anything else I tried. My experience with some analogue gear, like the pmh5000 is also of poor analogue circutry with little headroom. I feel youve adressed the build quality issues so I have two questions:

1: how do the preamps and sensitive analogue circuits Behringer builds now differ from those of 10 years ago?

2: How happy are you with the power ratings on products like the pmh5000, which is rated at about 400w output, but into a realistic load is more like an 80w amplifier?
