It's a Behringer mixer. :chainsaw:

For close to the same money (or maybe even less) you can build a 24 channel SAC rig, which will have far more power.

You can also buy several other 24 channel mixers from major brands for the same money. My experiences with Behringer mixers has been quite poor.
99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.

I've never had any trouble with Behringer mixers I've used before. Maybe I like to live dangerously...but so far so good for me.

there some things behringer definitely gets right on the performance and price, but their mixers are definitely not one of them.

Alot of the start up bands we gigged with had them and they all had something wrong with them. Not mention I hated mixing on those things.

I have one sitting behind me that is there for a "just in case my backup fails" that has intermittent problems. By far the best "bang for your buck" mixer on the market is the Allen and Heath MixWiz. 16 channels, 6 aux sends, built in effects, rack mountable and can be found used in the $600 range.
BFM cabs:

4 - OT12 (2512 loaded w/ melded arrays)
4 - T39 (3012LF loaded, 20" wide)
