Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Some of the controls seem a little "loose" but I don't detect any noise or inconsistent operation as a result. Overall it seems to have a good quality build.
Features

I like the preamps, compressor, and USB interface.

Manual is not complete. I had to hunt to find additional details on all of the features of this mixer.

The sound quality is excellent.

Lots of features, not a huge price

The switches, knobs and faders feel reasonably solid and smooth, not cheap plastic like some out there.
Features

I do like the simple compression feature on the first four mono channels as well as the insert jacks. One minor complaint is the lack of a 1/4" set of balanced outs but that's easily fixed by an adapter for each of the main xlr outs.

The *.PDF manual link offered on AMS and Behringer's site was very helpful; the manual (pamphlet?) shipped in the box? Not so much. All controls are laid out as most mixers, logically. Now if the onboard effects selection(s) were manipulated by an extra knob or two instead of 'push, then adjust when blinking, tap and then look for second blinking indicator...' it'd be perfect.
Sound
How is the tone?
I've tried a few different configurations and it's been very good about not adding any background noise or electronic hiss. The pan pots do pan fully right and left contrary to another review I read elsewhere.

Behringer hasn't had the best reputation or word of mouth in the last few years, but if this mixer is indicative of the company's products and quality I'll most likely look into more Behringer gear in the future.

Sound
How is the tone?
good tone. not so good to mix to mono live situation. have to use some adapters or you lose signal. Reverb is pretty weak. wanted it so I could eliminate outboard gear. still have to keep 2 out of three units.

so far so good. one month

I like the RCA inputs, I use them for a double cassette deck in and out. This is only to be used at my apartment. I needed a good way to run amp mic and such into a mixer and out to headphones cause I like to play late at night. Works great and simple to set up.

Nice Product. I am new to music and I had it figured out in less than 10 minutes. Has all the features I need now and plenty of room to grow.

Sounds good to me. I am NOT a proffessional. Just a guy learning to play my git fiddle and singing along. Old time Rock and Roll. Just an old hippie havin a sh*t load of fun!

So far it works perfect. My situation is home use only so I don't consider any abuse or road issues. Physical size is nice, not to big yet big enough to see all the controls and labels. Mine is within reach when I am practicing as I use a cassette player and an I Pod touch through the mixer. AMS gave me and addittional year on the warranty for free. Can;t beat that deal. Arrived in Ohio in 2 days.
