A great splitter... delighted with this product!
We use this splitter to produce a duplicate signal for each of our 8 channels going to the mixer. These are connected to a USB audio interface which is used for multi-channel recording.
Meanwhile, the main 'thru' signal goes to the mixer as normal.
The splitter makes possible this separation of live sound and recording, and that simplifies things greatly.
We've been v pleased by the sound quality. Well done Behringer on a quality product!!
It's also great that the Phantom Power from the mixer can pass through the splitter to power DI boxes and condenser mics on stage... but is electrically isolated from the duplicate output (which we use for recording).
For us, this has made recording live gigs very easy.

Almost perfect
I bought 2 of those for the splitter rack of my band. The product works fine, soundwise I can say it's perfectly ok for live situation. No problems with phantom power, as long as you follow the instructions. I can't tell about studio quality because I haven't used it in such setting. The price is super!
The only real downside is that having 2 outs on the back is quite a bummer for those who want to use it in a two face rack case and have both ins and half of the outs available. I had to buy a rack panel with XLR holes and solder connection cables to solve this issue. There are alternatives with different configurations (ins and 1 out on the front, 1 out on the back) but the price difference is so relevant that I preferred to do this workaround.

Very easy to use microphone splitter!!
First of all, there is a LINK button.
I don't use this button, but the audio of 1 and 2ch is added up and output from 1 and 2ch.
Then there are through outs and trans outs.
Through-out is out with almost no change in sound.
The trans out has a slightly blurred low range, but this is not a problem.
The transformer out has a gain of about 8db.
Be aware that typing at the line level can result in overloading.

Best for the money
If you want to record a live show and send the instruments to another guy at the console this piece of equipment is absolutely awesome in your rack. It is sturdy, the splitters are high quality and they are all separated with transformers. You can send the direct sound to your audio interface and the transformer output to the audio guy. The sound is the same but it makes you able to use your own phantom power, so you no longer have to deal with random jumpscares as the barman turns on the crappy phantom power on his crappy console

Susceptible
I found this unit was susceptible to picking up hum from external devices - in particular my Samson rack light. In the end I had to remove the Samson unit from my splitter rack. On/off position of the link buttons is also not obvious. But hey - who can beat this for price & quality!?

Difficult to fault anything on this!
I purchased three MS8000's to build a stage split so I can use my Soundcraft UI24 as an in ear monitor rig.
Apart from the products not being in stock at the time of ordering I can honestly cannot find anything to fault, only time will tell if they are reliable.
Price + features = honestly its a no brainer

Good for stage splitting
I bought a bunch of these for stage splits as we often use different consoles on different gigs. They work fine and once racked up seem pretty sturdy. The one drawback is a button that links channels and is easy to accidentally push in. This then results in odd behaviour at the consoles. Once you figure it out then it's obvious but can be a head-scratcher the first time. Not sure if the buttons can be pulled out but I'll be having a look when I get chance. In use they work fine and not had any complaints from monitor world yet.

Very good and sturdy
It works great and we havent had much problems with it. We have 4 of these and after few years and many uses only 1ch had some problem with phantom - But we used another input that was free and all was okay. Some buttons work opposite direction than we have used to. Always check all the buttons to be as you need them (sometimes you just hit some if you plug in the XLR).

Working like a charm
The spliiters (I use 2 of them in a stage monitoring system) and there are no additional noises or interference. Everything works like expected without hassles at all.
