gets me an extra 8 inputs to expand with me tonelux OTB16, amazing it actually work brilliant
If you want an ultra cheap way to add some inputs to your existing ADAT compatible interface then this unit may be for you. Bare in mind though that you do get what you pay for.
Don't expect an amazing or even good sounding unit. It's functional for its price, and second hand makes for a value for money interim measure until you can afford something better.
I read many reviews hailing this unit for its sound quality, but was left feeling pretty disappointed after A/Bing the pres against the Focusrite Scarlett. It definitely didn't sound anywhere close to the Scarlett pres, with the output on the Behringer being significantly muddier, particularly in the high mids.
Still, for the peanuts I paid for it compared to other options it's passable, but I will for sure be upgrading to something better once I have the money.

NB : There is apparently a newer model that features Midas designed pres, so I'd recommend tracking one of those down if you're going to go down the Behringer route.
