Another reason freinds don't let riends buy Behringer..

They've just been fined $1million by the FCC for selling gear for a period of 5 years that breaches their standards (And also were never tested) in the USA.

This could potentially make you as a user liable if someone complains about RF interference and it's tracked back to your shiny but cheap ass FX processor.

Here's a list of devices that the FFC is sad about (Also shows Behringer's sales....)

They where never tested? How long do they think they can get away with that stuff?
