Behringer N11999 -

I needed a cheap line mixer for synths. This does the job: routing is simple, and the 3-band EQ is usable. But the microphone preamps are hissy above 50% gain, and the plastic chassis feels cheap.

DSP magic on a budget, but fragile knobs Rating: 3.5/5 behringer n11999

Option 1: If you meant the Behringer NX1000 (or similar NX/NU series power amp) The NX series is a very popular ultra-lightweight class-D amplifier. I needed a cheap line mixer for synths

It works, but the preamps are noisy Rating: 3/5 DSP magic on a budget, but fragile knobs Rating: 3

However, build quality is a mixed bag. The plastic encoder knobs feel wobbly, and one of my Speakon outputs was slightly misaligned. Also, the software app is clunky. For permanent installs where you set it once and forget it, it's fantastic. For touring, spend more on a QSC or Crown. (e.g., UB1202 or X1204USB) Common mis-type for old "Eurorack" models.

Having the ability to set limiters, delays, and 4-band EQs directly on the amp is a game-changer at this price point. The NX3000D drives my 8-ohm tops easily without clipping.
