Title: Behringer audio products Post by: John K5PRO on February 24, 2006, 07:10:27 PM This came over from the Broadcast Net. There was a comment there by Bob Orban that Behringer has also been found ripping off cicuit designs for audio processors and other accessories down to the circuit board layout. I think they also got in trouble for copying some Macke audio console designs a while back. Feb 16 FCC PROPOSES FORFEITURE AGAINST BEHRINGER USA, INC. FOR MARKETING UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT Washington, D.C. -- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today proposed a $1 million forfeiture against Behringer USA, Inc. for apparent violation of the FCC’s equipment authorization rules. The Commission concluded that Behringer apparently violated the FCC’s rules by marketing in the United States at least 50 models of unauthorized digital audio devices. The rules require that these devices be tested and verified compliant with FCC technical standards prior to marketing them in the United States.

Tnx for showing me the thread. I hear lots of things about Behringer being great stuff for very low prices, and also things saying its utter junk. I figure its somewhere in between, but they didn't need to cheat Uncle Charlie. Thats a no no. Also the alleged circuit stealing. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
