Behringer XENYX 802 Mixer  

For a cheap mixer, you can't expect much. In this case, it doesn't even have a power switch (plugged = on). This is really a no frills setup, but if you're looking in this price range, you aren't looking for sub channels or built in effects. For a simple computer recording setup though, you can't do much better than this in terms of price/performance.

I was surprised to find that the chassis is actually made of metal as opposed to plastic. The mixer itself is dead silent for recording (another welcome supprise) and makes for an excellent unobtrusive/portable setup. My only gripe is that the phantom power on mine takes FOREVER to turn off unless I just unplug the mixer, and even then the light stays on for about 15 seconds. Not sure if this is a design flaw or a defect in mine. Aside from this minor issue though, can't find any problem.

I got this for a cheap and small recording setup to keep in my room. I must say, I am very impressed. The 3-band EQ works wonderfully, there is the possibility for an external effects loop, and I can hook up everything I need to do quick recordings with friends (bass, guitar, mic, and keyboard). It even has phantom power so you can plug in a nice condenser. For the price, you can't go wrong with this.

If you need a cheap mixer for casual recording, this is for you. For me, it was between this and a similar Mackie board that cost twice as much. I'm quite glad I went with this, as it does absolutely everything I need, I got to spend the extra money on a new sound card, and I still have enough left over to go out to dinner. Excellent product for an excellent price.

unreliable features, needs to be redesign in the engineering department, so the unit can be

reliable.

right channel overheated and completely lost the right channel during a DJ job.

channel two has alot of hiss sound and it has gotten worst and that was without an input.

channel one is alot quieter, but still noisy.

I don't recommend this product to anyone, unless they plan to throw money out the window.

The product would have been easier to transport if it had everything in one unit, because of

the transformer I have accidentally left it on the power strip during tear down and luckily

the other band members saw it and asked that anyone is missing a transformer.

Since I've only owned this mixer for abour three years and probably used it a dozen times it should have broken so soon. VERY UNRELIABLE...

One thing that this has that is very nice is the Phantom Power.

It also has a little bit of an EQ with Low Mid and Trebble controls

The quality right out of the box is great. They pay attention to detail and make sure its the same quality as their higher end products. I have experiance operating a 20 input mixer with all the features they offer, and the quality that is put into this small inexpensive mixer is the same.

This product has a great price on it, you are definitely getting more than what you pay for.

There aren't many features with this particular mixer, but it does a good job at doing it what it is supposed to do with the ones it has available. You will see that the quality of this mixer is comparable to bigger and better mixers.

For how much you are paying for this you will be happy with the purchase. I would recommend this product for anyone that wants a mixer for any type of use but doesn't need a large one

First time buying this sort of thing and not so sure which to get with so many to chose from. I was on the phone with MF customer service who helped immensely. They did not try to upsell and recommended this based on my needs. It's a great little mixer that will serve her needs for quite awhile. The only thing is we need a bit more volume (and I don't allow super loud) so will need to purchase a small amp.

I am a beginning dj and I love the mixer it has clean sound and plus it also has phantom so when I do get a wireless system it will work with out haveing to upgrade boards.
