Behringer buying guide
Match the workload first—bedroom vocals, rehearsals, gigs, podcasts—then read individual Amazon AU listings for ins/outs, bundled software, phantom power budgets, FX routing, and warranties.
USB / Thunderbolt interfaces
For recording singers while monitoring with headphones—look at converters, headphone amp headroom, inputs with mic/line/instrument combos, phantom power per channel you'll use, MIDI if you program keys, and driver fit for your OS version.
Analogue mixers & small PA heads
For rehearsals or simple FOH wedges—budget channel strips you actually mic up, auxiliary sends for monitors, subgrouping usefulness, mute groups, eventual recording tap if you care (USB stereo vs multichannel).
Digital consoles & stage boxes
When FOH or monitors demand scenes and tablet control—confirm stage snake IO totals, motorized faders (or not), multitrack record vs summed mix quirks, Dante or expansion ports if you envision growth.
Microphones, monitors, pedals
Patterns for stage bleed versus untreated bedrooms, impedance for instrument DIs, SPL for screamy sources, voiced headphones for tracking vs mixing. Guitar pedals stress PSUs harder than knobs—amps matter.
