Behringer was always a cheap brand, can't remember one time it was associated with quality. It is however affordable studio equipment.
I have friends who use their equipment in a semi-professional setup (studio or PA) and they've learned to always have a spare. Or learn to solder, which most of them did.
I had a Peavey Auto-EQ until a few years ago, but it did not look as snazzy as that Behringer DEQ2496. It only had a monochrome screen...
Not trying to trash the brand, but it's just 'home gamer' stuff which gets you a lot of bang for the buck. But cheap sliders, cheap switches, noisy power supplies, cheap caps and cheap connectors do not mix with reliability or earning a living out of them.
