While I rather dislike defending Behringer they appear to have evolved beyond their blatant taking inspiration from other manufacturers products to now rolling their own.
Their X32 digital mixer family while not exactly novel in concept is a game changer for price/performance execution. Several other companies wish that they did that one first. It is interesting now to see forum criticism of Behringer for taking to long to ship new products instead of the old copy-cat rants.

Unlikely, but I recall a conversation with Greg Mackie back during the height of his dispute with Behringer about the obvious "inspiration" from his 8-bus inline console. Greg joked about them copying his unintentional mistakes too (nobody designs in mistakes on purpose). I don't want to go too far down this road, I've been attacked personally on another forum for sharing my recollections of industry history from that period.buildafriend said:JohnRoberts said:okgb said:B'ringer has original items ?
Not sure if it's true or not but I've heard that Mackie has thrown dummie circuits in their stuff to see if behringer would copy and rumor has it they did.

I'm pretty sure it came out during the B Vs M lawsuit that the B 8-Buss had crosstalk issues in the sends, the same as M's original mixer... The only reason M didn't get a satisfactory outcome was due to the fact that they didn't register the design. The court records were online at one point.
