Behringer lost any suites?

I live in Mackie country, I have visited the Woodinville ,Wa location on one occasion I actually spoke with their current CEO,,my good friend worked as a production tech at the Woodinville plant..........when Mackie still manufactured in the U.S.(pre- St. Louis Music aquisition)

It is my understanding that Behringer won their law suite with Mackie.


I love it ..................were sitting here in the US.......at least I am.

Its actually a bit comical, we have no problem taking native property thats not ours.....we enslave a race................put good people in intern camps....prohibit women from voting........invade other countries..............use actors as politicians................pay athletes millions........

Shun our senior citizens(whom we will all become)........created McDonalds.............live at Walmart...................live in general excess.

But Oh no!!! .........please don't buy Behringer.......their the devil !!!!!!!!

Whom, by the way has a few good products and allows the average musician at least a chance to experience music and music production...........live or studio.

If Behringer was a USA based company......no one in our borders would give a rip.........they'd be the best....were showing them.....

Its all good though.......the best thing about USA is the ability to have and express ideas and thoughts.

I almost forgot.............

Be sure and turn off your PC.............................. I think Gates may have unethically aquired a little intellectual property

Are you kidding me? Your post is filled with with issues I disagree with. I guess if all that stuff is cool with you, then buying B gear is par for the course. Do whatever works for you and justify it however you like-- whatever helps you sleep at night. I suppose I am NOT your typical American. I don't eat McD's, don't shop WM, dont live in excess, and try my hardest to give my cash to companies that DON'T outsource-- not an easy task. Like I said in my post above, I'm not trying to be preachy or tell you how to live, I'm only sharing what I stand for. As an artist, I have issues with people who make ca$h from stolen ideas. Sorry if you disagree with that. Carry on...

Researching ths incident-- Looks like Behringer and Mackie settled out of court. Also, it looks like Behringer's mixer conatined a design flaw from the Mackie mixer. This showed that they used the exact same schematic when they built it. I'm sure you can find more info about it on google

here's another one for you- http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2005/03/behringer-website-shows-new-look.html

If you have an original DigiMax (pre 96k) still lingering around...
You might want to do a side-by-side comparison of noise-floor and subjective sound quality.
You may be surprised at the results...

Not that the ADA8000 is awesome...
But it's hard to beat at a shave over 2 bills.

I have and use an ADA 8000. I use it for recording scratch tracks (guits, bass, vox)while recording drums on my Digimax FS. After drum tracking, I only use 1 input on the ADA for talkback purposes. Its a decent unit, especially for the price.

Behringer is a rip-off company. Their products are garbage. Personally, I would never purchase a Behringer piece of gear. That;s my opinion and I don't care if its humble or not.

Just to add on a bit, and to reply to a question in an earlier post here about what Behringer has "copied"

ADA8000 - Presonus Digimax

VAmp - Line 6 Pod

Truth Monitors - Mackie HR824

Xenyx mixers - Mackie Onyx

And this is just a small example. Each of the Behringer products is a direct rip-off of their counterparts. I don't care about where Behringer is from, or the history of mine or their respective country. When you put money into Behringer's pockets, you take money away form companies who lead and innovate in this pro-audio industry we love so much.

I have a number of Behringer pieces including the ADA800 and have never had any problem. I have had major problems, however, with Presonus, and will never buy from them again. So go figure.

Reverse engineering is a common and perfectly legal business practice and doesn't bother me in the least. Maybe if Mackie didn't 'name-brand' mark up their gear to such a ridiculous extent, or offered gear in the Behringer price range (even Tapco stuff is more expensive feature for feature, and they don't offer large Tapco mixers, for example) they wouldn't lose so much business to the 'knock-off' companies.
