Interesting. The workers are all young, and live in "Behringer City"

Chris makes the valid point that Behringer gear has no "soul". I'd have
to
agree. It makes me wish I could afford to buy gear made by people who
care
about what they're making.

Don't blame Behringer for this. The idea originated with Henry Ford
who built the whole "factory town" concept up.

I do agree that mass production produces gear without soul, because it
produces gear that is intended to be everything to everybody in order to
increase the total market as much as possible and therefore bring the per
unit cost down as much as possible. But that's life.

I think you're being too philosophical about this. The management simply
defined a set of design parameters/goals that we don't sympathize with.

If Behringher used good opamps, good A/D's, and good switches, would we be
having this discussion? I doubt it.

Probably, because they would _still_ be designing for the widest possible
audience rather than for any one application.

A lot of what you get with higher end equipment is not just better component
quality, but equipment that is designed to do one thing well rather than
to do everything for everybody.
