True, but with the Behringer being about $300 and the mackie being about $600, then in a live situation the humming that you may not get from a mackie (but MAY get from a Behringer) isn't really worth an extra $300.If you're on a budget, it's only unless you want expand the use for the desk, when factors of humming an hissing come into play. Personally I would always buy the best I can.I do know many people that are on a budget and they have Behringers,I have never noticed any problems with noise, even when they've used them in a recording environment . I will agree, the build quality isn't as good, but it's still quite sturdy for half the price.

What I'm saying is don't be afraid to go Behringer, if money is a big problem. But I would higly recommend the Mackies - they're built to last and sound better than some mixers twice their price.
