Behringer Super-X Pro Cx3400 High-Precision Stereo 2-Way/3-Way/Mono 4-Way Crossover With Limiters

great cross over, i love this cross over. It makes it easier to install in amp/analog mixer rack, This is great for gigs where your just needing a 2 channel input from a dj and not have to bring the 5k digital mixer just to do the cross over for subwoofers.

This is my second one of these. The first one I bought several years ago, and it failed despite being used only a couple of times per year. The sound quality of this crossover is excellent. It is better than some high-end brand crossovers I've owned that cost several times what this one did. I have a critical ear, and a lot of very high-end PA equipment. It was important that my crossover not degrade the sound of a lot of elite, expensive amps, speakers, and mixing console. And, I needed three-way stereo capability with continuously variable crossover frequencies, preferably in 1 rack unit. This fits the bill extremely well and has a lot of great extras- the multiband limiter, independent phase invert switches and mute switches for each band, adjustable LF delay, and a switch to optionally sum the LF outputs to mono. However, my first one didn't last as long as a piece of this nature should, IMO. I started having problems with certain outputs (LF, Mid, High Lefts and Rights) intermittently cutting out. Cranking the input levels to the Xover would cause them to suddenly pop back in. The symptoms were almost exactly like that of bad output protection relays in a power amp, but there are no relays here. Additionally, the right channel HF output would have a big dip in the frequency response of mid-highs (well above the crossover frequency). I disassembled the unit, and noticed that there are ribbon cables from the front PCB to the rear PCB. The attachment at the front PCB uses a very poor quality (IMO) mechanism to attach the cable to the PCB, where prongs penetrate the insulation of each conductor on the ribbon. I believe my problem was that over time, this very tiny connection degraded. I tried removing all the ribbons and cleaning each contact with de-oxit, and also injecting some de-oxit into the mute switches. My problems significantly improved after this, but I still had the left Mid-Frequency cutting out once in a while. I couldn't have that happen at a gig, so I just ordered a new one. It is normal for an item with a lot of strain placed upon it (like a power amplifier) and/or with a lot of shorter-life components (like electrolytic capacitors) to require service after a handful of years. But a piece of gear like this should last longer. Much of the stuff in my rack (including some other Behringer gear) have been going strong for 17+ years. This one failed due to lousy design in terms of the ribbon cables IMO. But, the sound and value are so great I'd still recommend it. As far as Behringer gear goes, this is the only one I've had where I had any qualms about build quality. Their compressors are excellent for the price range (I have an original Composer, a Composer Pro, and a Composer Pro-XL). I think their analog signal processors are great. I have a DSP-8000 digital EQ/RTA which is good but the D/A converters aren't great. I've owned the feedback destroyers and thought they were decent as well. I hated their Mackie-clone mixers because I thought they sounded like dirt, just like the Mackie. Moral of the story is, some of Behringer's gear is really quite good, some of it isn't. You have to make your purchase decision based on the reputation of the particular model, not the brand name when it comes to the B-word.

Easy to work and a game changer to the sound

I am using this unit to biamp/triamp some high sensitivity speakers in a home hifi application. This unit has better sound quality and feature set than the dbx. I returned the dbx unit. This behringer unit has a delay feature for the low driver, which was important for my speakers. You cannot find that in a fully analog unit without ADC. This is 5 stars at a great price.

I bought the CX3400 to experiment with active two way systems. While it would do what I wanted I was not sure how it would sound. As many users mod such systems I thought it might not sound very good. I must say that the stock unit is very good. I had intended implementing the final settings ( cross over freq / levels ) in a separate dedicated pcb with better opamps etc. However as it sounds quite nice as it is, I will delay this process for quite some time ......if I ever do get round to doing it ! I'm happy I decided to buy it. Great product.

I order this product two times. Both product did not last over a 6 month period. I do alot of mobile djing and got embarresed too times with the behringer cx3400. I will never own another peice of equipment from behringer. Behringer SUPER-X PRO CX3400 Crossover (Standard)

Good product i recomend it..

I have been an audiophile for 40 years. I recently acquired four Emotiva monoblock amplifiers each sending 500 watts into my Magnepan 3.3 4 ohm speakers. Obviously I needed a crossover that could allow me to bi-amplify the Magnepan using the four monoblocks. I opted for the Behringer after a great deal of internet searching. I could not be more pleased with the result. Superb soundstaging and imaging. As far as I can tell the Behringer does not degrade the sound quality at all. One must spend a lot of time fine tuning the Behringer---as one must do with any crossover---but the results are worth it.

Schon lange im Einsatz! Funktioniert ohne Probleme. Würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen

have yet to use but came as advertised

Correspondait à mes attentes

Work fine so far I heard a few things about this model but it is working great sounds good.

Pague 180 pesos para que me llegará rápido y no fue así , tuve que esperar otros 3 días más
