Behringer Eurodesk MX9000 Analog Mixer - SHABBY PRODUCT, SHADY COMPANY | Studio Tour Ep.4 

my first board. couldn't afford a Mackie 8 bus.

I bought one broken. I fixed it in a few hours - was a single shorted ceramic capacitor on a mix bus taking down the power supply. It took longer to remove/replace all the knobs. It was actually an excellent board but was way more than I needed. I donated it to a music school in Cincinnati at one of the Sweetwater sponsored events around 2010.

My first studio in Rockaway Beach, NY had an earlier version, the MX-8000. We used in with 3 Tascam DA-38's synced together. Good times, loved those machines and got some surprisingly good mixes out of that board. I used to love that thing, but we all love our first mixing board....

I had one of the original, brown, MX8000 mixers which I bought new and used for several years without issues. 48 inputs with EQ at an affordable price were what sold me. It was a significant upgrade over the Seck 18-8-2 I had before it. I had the opportunity to see inside one later alongside a Mackie 8 bus at a friend's place and the circuit board inside was beyond similar, only different around the EQ sections, and it sounded, I thought at the time, pretty good. Later I had a chance to try out someone else's later, blue MX8000, and this one just didn't sound the same or as good to my ears. The MX9000 you have came out after, with the integrated meter bridge. I'd guess it's the same inside as the blue MX8000s. Incidentally, the Mackie and earlier MXs were even cross compatible regarding the add on meter bridges. I don't know if this is the case with the blue ones. Behringer already had a history of putting out better (more closely 'inspired') products earlier in a product range and then cheapening them later on. One example is the original Composer compressors, which were remarkably closely 'inspired' by Drawmer units, and were a similar weight to the Drawmers, then later the Composer Pro came out, at about 1/3 of the weight of the originals and sounded very different (worse) by comparison.

me too I use it as a secondary submix for drums

Hi. Any idea why my 8000 led bus strips are out ?? Busses are fine " but no display. Everything else is awesome. If it's something you may have come across. Cheers.

Yes, and they are the same type like on Mackie products, with the same problem.

Everything Behringer I’ve ever had I eventually got rid of. 😂

I have xr18, x touch and couple of behringer syths. All wirk great, feel great and have no problems for years

I see the Trashenhringer crowd are a bit butt hurt trying to defend not even subpar gear, it's cheap for a reason, but oh well if you like it that is all that matters 🤣😂

They make some guitar pedals that are exact replicas of much more expensive circuits. The Deepmind and other synth clones are incredible. The XTouch series are wildly good midi surfaces for the money. Their patch bays are solid as heck and dirt cheap. If your emotional response to a brand name means more to you than the objective quality of specific products, that makes you a fool.

@@PurpleMusicProductions it is not top of the line gear. And their morals are questionable. But there is no sense in denying one’s experience. I had zero problems with build quality.
