I Have the Xenyx-2222 and am not keen on it in terms of layyout, sound or master section. The knobs have little contrast from the pannel = not unlike Mackie CF desks -(which particularly matters to me because I'm partially sighted), I'm not keen on the channel EQ or preamps and the master section (in an attempt to be very inclusive) is over complicated in (I think) unuseful ways. I wouldn't buy it again. I used to have the UB desk with 6mic channels (can't remember the model) and, whilst not at all as well featured, sounded more transparent than the (over-hyped) Xenyx. I have various Behringer products, some of which I've had for many years and have been totally reliable and I would replace without question (Composer, cable tester, various DI boxes) but not the Xenyx.
