Behringer Eurodesk MX9000 Analog Mixer - SHABBY PRODUCT, SHADY COMPANY | Studio Tour Ep.4

Published 2024-02-29
The Behringer Eurodesk MX 9000 is a 48-track, 8-bus analog mixer from the early 2000s. This is the main recording console at Dark Highway Recording, since it is only used for monitor mixing. I give a brief review, demo, and description of how it's connected to the surrounding equipment. Also some drama behind dealing with Behringer as a company. This is part 4 of my recording studio tour.

    So that's really a cheap version of a Mackie 24.
  • I had the mx8000a for just over a decade and it was awesome. Great way to learn on for sure and was certainly a centre piece in the studio back in the day.

    Hi iv got the 8000, with the bridge. I use it in my studio everyday, for all instruments, going off to my computer, running, mixpad pro. , it's been faultless, and awesome once I removed the 24 volt fan from the PSU and put in 12 volt fans One inside and one araldited to the heatsink on the rear. With a variable 12 volt PSU, running at around 5 volts. Now very quiet 🤐🤐. And the heatsink you could once light a cigarette on. 😮 Is now all but cold. As the original fan sounded like a jet engine and cooled -- well nothing, as the heatsink is on the back. But the desk. Has and iv tested it. Got a signal to noise ratio close to my Mackie digital desk, it's awesome. One fault iv always had is the bus led bars do not light. ??? But the busses are fine. Fantastic desk. Wouldn't part with it. ". I noticed the 9000. Has no bus led banks ?? Mmmmmm". 😮. Great vid.

    I played with a band that had this as a monitor mixer and a Allen & heath for front of house. Lets just say it was rarely used for only big outdoor gig with multiple bands. When I joined the band for a short I told them to leave their consoles at home and we took my Soundcraft Series Five (not 5) console out for gigs, which had more features than both the Allen & heath and Behringer combined. The band ended up purchasing the Soundcraft Series Five from me and I replaced it with a Soundcraft MH4 for front of house and the MH2 for monitors. I stll have the MH-2 in my studio since it has 10 busses and 10 aux sends for headphone mixes in the studio.
  • @midodeejay
    first of all thanks a lot for the video and I want to know how aux 5 and 6 work in this mixer ? and can you tell me this mixer is have a good out sound or bad ? and thanks again
  • Another issue is the voltage regulators in the power supply. I forget which ones (+/- 17VDC?) but they are under rated. I changed mine out and it worked fine after that.

    The mx2642 was my first «big» mixer. Same colour scheme as the mx9000 although I think the flagship at the time was the mx8000. Was happy with it, had loads of functionality for the price and I had no real sense of what was good or bad sound quality. Which in hindsight I am quite happy about

    ive fixed a few behringer items ,EQs, Xovers , compressors etc.. ALL the latching push switches on every product go intermitent or fail. ..

    If you buy behringer, you better have a good electrical engineer/repairer with a pro soldering gun and pro air gun. Their circuits are great but the parts die. You'll have to open it up and fix the horrible assembly line compilation. I actually buy behringer and modify them. I open it up and do a professional soldering and connection job. I had to reflash the EEPROM and chips on a behringer devices many times. I like behringer because I can download their circuit diagrams and by parts from anywhere. The expensive guys don't open source their circuits and usually require you to get a certified repairer. Good Video.
