3 way stereo crossover with inbuilt parametric EQ options. Low noise, high resolution and will run as a high quality DAC too! 12 month warranty.
Should you pay A$589 for this, or is it too far above what the market usually clears for a used unit? Against 122 recent AUD comparables, the median is A$146, with the 25th percentile at A$50 and the 75th percentile at A$342; at A$589 this is clearly ambitious and sits well above the typical used range.
What still makes it worth a look is the model itself: this is a respected digital crossover/processor, valued for flexible routing, steep crossover slopes, precise delay and level control, and the kind of system-building versatility enthusiasts use to tighten up active setups or tame awkward rooms. If the unit is genuinely clean, fully functional, and includes the original power supply and any rack hardware, that helps—but at this price I’d only bite if you specifically need it now and the condition is exceptionally good.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.
The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.
Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
