Dave Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Thanks, Bryson, for posting the links - I was feeling a bit lazy. It is, of course, possible that MA Lighting did a deal with Behringer. The Lightcommander 12/2 is rather overpriced, IMO, and I can't imagine them selling many, even before Strand shook the market up with the 200 series. Maybe they sold the rights, or take a cut from every unit that Behinger makes. You never know, we might see a Behringer version of the GrandMA for 20% of the price - now that would be interesting :D Just as an aside, at work, we've noted that a nasty tend for manufacturers of cheaper (nastier) gear to call their products something with Euro-, -pro or 2000 in the name (with a couple of notable exceptions) We dread the release of the Euromix Pro 2000, or suchlike. (Our "E" desk is a Maplin "professional"...ho ho.)This has been the case with noise-making products for a long time. Most things that feel the need to describe themselves as professional are anything but that, and should be avoided like the plague. I think the previous Maplin catalogue said something like: "We introduce a new range of products from ProSound, which is set to become the name in professional audio". Writing such trash should be a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Alcock Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 With reference to the claims that Behringer produce products with an almost uncanny resemblance to other well known manufacturers, I read an "old joke" on another forum recently: Did you hear that Behringer doubled the size of their R&D department the other week? - they got another office photocopier.
