- randomly disappearing channels and crackle in aux/eq pots in two specimens (granted one of them was stored in a dusty theater and the other wasn't very clean either)
- the jack for the ac adaptor breaking and requiring replacement in one
- a couple of broken wall-warts
Their larger mixers might actually have decent power cables which would eliminate those worries. And at least 75% of Behringers I've come across have done their job OK, but I'd rather try maybe the Yamaha MG series if the budget can stretch a bit.. |

It worked fine for awhile, but then channels started to crap out on it--one went dead and stayed that way, a couple others would just randomly cut in and out.
We retired it after that.
