The Behringer CM8000 was a mixer-automation companion that extended the capability of analog consoles by adding intelligent fader and mute control, letting engineers recall complex mixes with confidence. Designed for project studios stepping up to more ambitious productions, the CM8000 brought a degree of automation that had historically been reserved for far more expensive systems, while keeping the warmth and immediacy of working on an analog surface. The CM8000 is no longer in production, having served its purpose during a transitional era of hybrid analog-plus-automation workflows. Archival manuals and Customer Care support remain available for owners who still rely on this piece of Behringer history.
