All user reviews for the Behringer Eurodesk SL2442FX-PRO

Have been playing guitar for almost 30 years on and off. I play everything from country to rock to acoustic folk. Have been in bands in the past, but nothing serious. I like to write my own music and am currently putting together a home studio.

Paid $450 online at Musician's Friend. Was looking for a decent unit, not necessarily top of the line, but with the features I needed at a price I could afford. Purchased this about 2 months ago. Am trying to put together a little garage band and wanted an inexpensive unit to tie things together.

Well, after 2 months of use I can say that I got my money's worth. The 24 inputs and 4 buses are really flexible and the feedback detection system is great for not blowing peoples eardrums away with crazy screaming feedback. I also like the mic preamps, they are relatively warm and better than some I've used on other more expensive mixers.

Control knobs may feel a little flimsy at first, but in 2 months I've not had any problems with them. Just my personal opinion.

Construction and quality appear to be good. The fit and finish is good and other than the knobs, the unit feels well built and can take a few bumps.

Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase. I will stop back and update this review after I find out if the unit stands the test of time. So far, though, so good.

Table not rack
16 mono + 4 stereo channels, 2 to dep, 2 multi Intgr.

UTILIZATION

It's easy, all the Berhinger crach limit not need to read the instructions, everything visible, really gnial

SOUNDS

On pre-amp: fairly neutral but when push from 3 / 4 started blowing ...
Exceeds If not, no problem, but when memdj pramps yamaha are better.

The qual is good, it's not pro but will.

Finally, it is quite RANSPARENCY, we see just enough that it cleared up and crystallizes the sound I like.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it all Emain for 6 months, no problem, easy to use, compact trs.
Exellent quality price ratio.
Vive subgroups.
The effects are just gimmicks.
I do it again without hsitations choice.

- Not at all Rackable, size gloves I actually find his true weak point!
- 16 XLR inputs and 8 inputs stro ...
- The qualiseur, is a bit "lightweight "!!!!
- The trs ffects are complete, but from a guitar electro-acoustic branch live with a little reverb, effects are not always used by the group. or the table is too far from the one who can change the effects (gnral singer !!!), you must be tweaking a few minutes so as not to effect any output!!

UTILIZATION

Simple-simple in the configuration and use are-simple, even beginners can make a good rglage.
and if you do not understand everything in a few lines of the manual everything becomes clear !!!!!
hats for ergonomics!!

SOUNDS

- Not enough to really be picky engineer on this subject, but the table seems transparent. no real color of her!
- Blast ?????
- Qualiseur seems pretty lightweight, but it is not so bad for beginners like us. prcis too, we spend too much time looking for the "right" rglage!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it with my band (pop / rock) for over 6 months, 2guitares + + 1basse a battery (5micros) + 5voix. in total we use 12 to 13 entries.

I think the most contrainiant is biensr size!! Rackable not at all and trs trs long but 16 + XLR Stereo the entries are well placed somewhere!

Top-Qualitprix report for an amateur group like ours. easy to use for nophytes fairly prcise its rglages. although in the end, ffects Intgr does not serve as we esprions. and for a really COMPTITE trs. Behringer seems to be ultimately good for the manufacturer group dbute.qualitsoliditprix really affordable!!

Behringer Eurodesk SL2442FX pro

Console 24 tracks (16 mono inputs and 8 stereo XLR line)
2 onboard effects processors
2 auxiliary outputs + 2 auxiliary effects per track
4 subgroups
1 x SUB (very effective)
1 stereo output "Main" (1 pair XLR jack and a pair)
1 line input (CD / Tape)
EQ, gain, low-cut filter, 16 "insert" inserts on hand.
A button to "mute" all the tracks and pass only the channel CD / tape (very practical)
9-band equalizer with a "feedback destroyer" included.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use
Faders flexible
Relatively clear and simple manual
Quick

SOUNDS

The lack of "body"
The lens is too prampli and dynamics is low.
When the button is pushed prampli gain of 15.00 (more than three quarter of the way) it induces the breath.
The equalizer for TRS track is not effective, just enough as rglage. In gnral I do not use it.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this table for four months.

I had a weird problem with beginners and if it uses relatively silent during the long Journe (gnral in more than two hours in a row) it s' lit if it is off again later or even the next day. It starts operating in two days. This happened to me 5 times and I have had this problem later.

His lack of body and its too pramplis crystalline level is very weak. To be used only with external pramplis.

The dual effects processor is convenient but not adjustable.

It s'insre trs well in a home studio and can be done by hand and sound.

This table is of the same affordable trs (500 euros) compared to those of the same CATEGORY in other brands that are prs 3 times more expensive. (It's behringer!) But I have a friend who had to change three times the table because they had problem plant. Do not have bad luck ...

To add to what has already been said, I can say that the table has buttons rather fragile.
It should be handled with care.
The transformer and power supply are intergenerational in, and I find it quite hot, see much.

UTILIZATION

Clear and easy to use.

SOUNDS

This is where it is most disappointing.
It sounds like a piece of plastic. It does the job, but it does not really mind. The preamps are of fair quality in my opinion. As was said, it sounds a bit dry and lack of dynamic ca.
To send a signal line break it no problem, but to get the microphones is really not great. Where it is harder for sound to it such as our battery. A good kit and a batteire shure, yet it sounds a bit cardboard.
The effects are crap, except maybe the reverb.
I thought by purchasing this table to dispense with the purchase of a compressor, mlais I am wrong. Do not even think to use compressors or gates of the table, they are crappy.

OVERALL OPINION

This table is like, by many of its present, and effects, but I'm not sure that's a good idea to buy it. It does the job, but his lack of soul. In my opinion for the same price, better buy a used table without effects, with fewer entries can be (even tweak a little) and has the best preamps.

See what has already been said.
At the bus (one of the few consoles at this price to offer 4-bus), it helped me at a concert to prepare three plans: one for the front, one for returns and 1 for recording. I find it very versatile.

UTILIZATION

The conf is very simple, even if Behringer has never wished to diffuse the internal routing that helps to discover it. But the manual is very clear and it is taken in hand very quickly.

SOUNDS

Despite his stated qualifications hates more, the sound is cool though. We must resolve equalo, neither too much nor too little.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, and reweighed for background music concerts. I hesitated a long time with all the negative opinions that we find on the net. And then I told myself that these opinions were not based on experience with hardware, but simply for the name ...
In short, I started and I am very satisfied, it is an excellent value for money.
The effects are not great, OK it's been said but do not abuse it either.
Now I'm not a pro in the field, but I can say that I like use it well, and if we take care of (there is also a minimum to respect) it can last longer. I've never had a problem with (aside from the 220 label has peeled off!)
