Seems that is a very common problem with the Behringers. I have one
unit myself and it has very slight bleeding - no problem if you just mix
for your own amusement or even for club gigs, but if you make tapes and
listen to them with headphones, the bleeding can annoy a bit in silent
parts. Some units have had much worse problems with the bleeding..
But anyway, I think the Behringer DX-500 is a great mixer in its price
range, although the interface is not as good as it could be. Probably
someone's figured out a hack to work around that channel bleeding
problem, any info is appreciated if someone knows of such hacks. The
problem is that it isn't the typical "crossfader bleeding" type of
problem which could be countered by not using the crossfader and only
the individual channel faders, but the signal bleeds from channel 2 to
channel 3 directly. If you only use two turntables/CD players you could
use such a setup that the players were connected to channels 1 and 3,
but then what would be the point of owning a 3-channel mixer?
