Behringer X series vs QX series mixer

[DonaldR]

Any of these will blow away anything Behringer.

Their X32 and X18/X16/12 digital mixers are pretty solid.

Their X32 and X18/X16/12 digital mixers are pretty solid.

They do have SOME (very few) decent products, at least when considering the price, but good luck with support/repairs after the warranty runs out. That's pretty much non-existent in my experience. And even when the product is under warranty Behringer support feels like banging your head against a brick wall.

I also detest their history of copying other companies' designs. It's not just the clones of vintage gear that lots of other manufacturers do but also products like their Arturia Keystep copy. I won't support a company with this abysmal level of business ethics.

What drew me to the Behringer mixer was the number of useful features at a reasonable price:
1 hi z input capability for guitar
2 monitor send (pre fader aux)
3 onboard fx
4 faders for channel levels.

Mackie, Soundcraft, Yamaha and RCF have most or all of these features, but not on their smaller mixers.

The origial post was a question about which Behringer mixer to choose, but I'm still researching other brands.

Actually the small analog A&H Zed mixers have a HiZ high gain input option ZED 10FX.
I have a ZED10 and use it for a USB interface more than a mixer.

The Soundcraft UI's have guitar inputs and guitar processing.
