Behringer v Samson for new was always easy. Though the gear is from the same company, Samson is Sam Ash. Now that the stores are closed and Sam Ash has moved online, I have no idea what that means for their private branded gear.

The musictribe.com web site is horrible. To ask a question, you must first create an account (ok...) then fill out page after page after page of a marketing survey and then pick a tribe to belong to before you're done. I am not kidding. Here are all the current MusicTribe brands.

Aston Microphones
Midas
Lab Gruppen
Tannoy
Turbosound
TC Electronic
TC Helicon
Behringer
Klark Teknik
Bugera
Lake
Coolaudio

It's too bad that Carvin is out of business as they had rack mounted powered and non-powered mixers up to 16 channels. 5 rack spaces, not 4, however.

I have a box full of Behringer Xenix mixers, preamps and Behringer headphone amps. Not one is usable due to the noise from the aging crap components. My wife discovered it the other day—I thought it had been sent to recycling years ago.


For what you want, the pickings are so slim these days that you may have no choice but the $199 Eurorack Pro RX1202FX. Just go in eyes wide open so that, when it goes bad, you write off the 2 bills.
