their new UB series is MUCH better than the older MX series, and they weren't that bad either, but a bit more coloring to the sound, at least the cheaper ones.

Agreed, ditto Bruno.

Mixer pre-amps in general are not the quality of dedicated pre-amps. To a degree that should be obvious per unit cost and componant space. I will say that the top 20% of the amplification range say from 3 oclock to max is a little noisier than the bottom 80%, but that is not only a function of the pre-amp. It is also a function of the signal provided to the pre-amp. At those levels of amplification there is a good bit of noise floor being drug in with the signal.

I guess the best way I can express this is in terms of results with my Behringer. Using an NT1 microphone, a good cable, and my MX9000, I find no apreciable noise introduced. Now with that sensitive of a microphone I will also say that the 50dB or thereabouts noise level that exists in a very quiet room is well reproduced, but relitive to the signal strength of the wanted information e.g. guitar, vocal, etc. it is well within reason.

The primary use of the mixer is for a MIC (behrginger B-2), But not for a pre-amp as i have a Behringer Ultragain pro (are Behringer taking over the world?)

I use it also for a V-amp pro (Behringer ofcourse) and get less noise with that so it looks like leads and room noise might be the problem.

i might call my first born Behringer!

Cheers guys!

Hey, I like that idea, my wife and kids want a dog, maybe I will stop fighting it if they let me name it Behringer.

If you get a dog and name it Behringer I am gonna email Ulhi and tell him. Maybe he'll get his picture taken next to some Behringer gear.
