Happens all the time with cheap things. Some prototypes or early production samples are tested, then the production process is adapted to large volume, very probably everything is outsourced to a different sweatshop, and any further quality control is supposed to be done by the user. As for Behringer, I still have to see the first bit of hardware that does not have some problem. Everything that I've tested for the last ten years or so has failed in some way. > I'm sure that someone from the LAC would be more than happy to test it for > Fons and help get to the bottom of the problem.

There is absolutely nothing in my original post that would even faintly suggest that anything was working. Please stop suggesting that I wrote things I did not write. You seem to have enough issues with what I _did_ write anyway. > Just a bit of hum at the hardware level. Again, not 'just a bit' but tons of it.

It's not a digital mixer, nor did I suggest it was. Meanwhile the thing has been used as an headphone amp since we needed one. So I can confirm that channel 1 line input is working, as is the master strip and the headphone output. That's all. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
