I remenber someone saying that Behringer sound equipment is just Mackie
knockoffs and they didn't care for the equipment because of the copyright
issues. I think they were saying that Behringer copies some of Mackie's
electronics plans, then builds their own stuff using these plans. This may
be true, but aside from that,........

Have any of you any experience with Behringer equipment?
(Mixers, amps, speakers, eq's etc)
Does it work well?
Is it dependable?
How is the sound?
How does it compare to Mackie, Peavey, (name your brand)?
Do you get descent bang for the buck?

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive PA installation for for our
church. Cost is important, but dependability is a must. Our current system
doesn't have any eq at all. It's not practical for what we want to do in
the near future.

I have the Shark Feedback Destroyer, but have limited experience with it.
So far so good.

FPC......we play a lot of Flatpicked guitar and mandolin in our
church,....mic'd of course .

TIA,
