Reviews around preamps (5.00 of 5)

  • Preamps are quiet and good enough to bring an SM57 up to a usable level.3 band EQ is enough to make just about everything work nicely.
  • I didn't use it enough to be very specific, but the Zephyr preamps are just not that great.
  • Their prices suggest top quality preamps, but what they offer in terms of connectivity is lacking (usually a single post-fader aux and a handful of mic inputs)
  • The preamps are quiet and deliver enough gain as I would expect at this price

Reviews around alto (5.00 of 5)

  • Alto Zmx52 works a little fuzz but can be taken care of if you know what tou are
  • I trusted the brand alto because I have a few other products from them, and they perform very well, so the name was not a problem
  • But yes, this new ALTO ZMX862 Mixer works a lot better in this application.

Reviews around product (4.08 of 5)

Reviews around quality (3.86 of 5)

  • I have it working with 3 different channel inputs and get very good sound quality (focused on voice + guitar for performance).
  • Can't rate 5 stars just because I'm not totally blown away (if the FX was awesome maybe), but overall very happy customer, sound quality is good, and would buy it again.
  • I've been able to get stunning EQ and mic quality out of this paired with a cheap 20-40$ microphone
  • The mic inputs have phantom power, which I need, and the sound quality is very clean -- no hiss, buzz or electronic noise.
  • Lately, I've been using it for wired IEM duty live and the sound quality is fantastic

Reviews around unit (3.56 of 5)

  • First of all, this mixer died after just a few hours of use, but I don't think that's necessarily an indication of a bad product, but rather a defective unit
  • My thoughts are this...if you need a low price mixer & fidelity is not your main objective, this unit works great.
  • Its solid with a little weight to it does not feel cheap at at 49.00 its allot of mixer in compact unit
  • the Behringer units that require a 3-pin power supply that easily malfunctions, can be damaged when plugging in the dark, and is a hassle to replace
  • Maybe I have a defective unit, but still sucks
