The Behringer MX8000 is a discontinued mixing board made by Behringer. It features 48 channels, a parametric and sweepable equaliser, six assignable auxiliary sends and high quality sealed rotary pots.

The Aux return gain range is zero decibels to +20 decibels above unity gain. The max mic input is +12 decibels above unity gain, and the max line input is +22 decibels above unity gain.
