I hate to tell you this, but as someone with in-depth professional experience in both marketing and audio, the site you liinked is just what we call a "thin affiliate" site. It posts glowing reviews on a bunch of products that the site owner has no actual first-hand experience with or in-depth knowledge on. That's the kind of site that Google has been trying to slap with some of its more recent algorithm tweaks.

 

Mackie came out with this at the beginning of the year and has not sent it to stores untill recently and a nabbed me one for my studio - Mainly for 3 sets of studio monitor switching but also to replace an aging m-audio USB sound card - I can't wait to get it:

The site is of no consequence. I go by years of using them and the recommendation of one North Carolina's premier sound system installers. A company that puts Guitar Center to shame and who i happen to do web design for. I have a 17 year relationship with them and they always steer me right and give me great deal on the best in gear

 

so it's bedtime now, right?

 

Well these were the highlights of my CI batch

Title: 12 min survey on online content (~ 12 minutes) | PANDA Worker: Preview | Accept | Requester Requester: KSU [A3SD7W03ELS45E] (Contact) TO 1: [Pay: 4.53] [Fast: 5.00] [Comm: 4.83] [Fair: 5.00] [Reviews: 41] [ToS: 0] TO 2: [Rate: $6.00/hr] [Pen: 0.08 days] [Res: 100% of 2] [Rec: 100% of 1] [Rej: 0] [ToS: 0] [Brk: 1] Description: A survey on online content Time: 30 minutes HITs Available: 1 Reward: $1.00 Qualifications: Exc: [-966527009-66279] has not been granted; Total approved HITs is not less than 500; HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95; Location is one of: US;

 

If the format of the site wasn't enough to trigger alarm bells, this should be:

"British" EQ is a trademark-safe way of saying that they're trying to imitate the circuitry of SSL boards. It's called "British" because Solid State Logic is based in Britain.

IMO if they've got you thinking Behringer is top-notch stuff, they failed you.
But this isn't an audio site, so I don't really want to sidetrack too much on that.
