• Great mixer, surprisingly

  
  As reviewed by Allen on 10/13/2008

  First off let me start with my credentials. I've been running DJ equipment for large theatre companies and a few bands for 8 or so years now. I've worked with many technicians who date back to even working on Alice Cooper's crew, so I'm not green behind the ears when it comes to sound equipment. I also sing in my own band, and needed a quick fix for a concert we had coming up, and had no budget at the time for a fancy board. So I picked this little guy up. We hooked up my mic, the guitarist and bassist through the board, and plugged into pa speakers, and the results were awesome. Anyone who needs a quick fix or a light portable board, Definitely consider this Behringer board.

• Great, Stand-Alone Preamp for Recording or Playback

  
  As reviewed by David Brown on 6/27/2012

  WOW! My brother-in-law uses one of the Xenyx models for singing "karaoke" and recording all of it; the results can be stunningly rich. Although I also dabble in some recording, my purpose in buying the Xenyx 802 has been entirely different. Needing a fair- to good-sounding, semi-portable system for my backyard, I hooked up TWO pairs of entry-level Bose "Companion" Series powered speakers. This idea worked rather well overall, but the bass was uncontrollably loud. The automatic volume limiter on the speakers seemed to be working overtime, and slight distortion of deep bass notes still occurred. Well, along came the Xenyx 802 with its bass, midrange, and treble equalization, plus outstanding connectivity for a mixer of such as a small size and price. Many thanks for a great product!

• A fine Addition

  
  As reviewed by SCOTT HANFT on 2/15/2012

  This was added to the (2) Behringer 1002B mixers I use to mix them down before going into a 15 band stereo EQ, and then to a Tascam DP-008 recorder. It is rigged out on my drum set in my home recording studio. Clean, high quality, with a lot of gain if needed. I only wish the blue power on light wasn't so bright, I put a piece of masking tape over it to dim it down. It's blinding in studio lighting. The other oddity, there isn't a power on/off button, plug and unplug to turn it on and off. I actually have mine plugged into a power strip that has an on/off button. Behringer tech support is easily available for questions, with a US based office in the state of Washington. I had called them prior to the purchase of the 1002B mixers. I was able to mix 11 drum mics thru these 3 boards without having to buy a huge board to accomodate 11 XLR mic preamps. This way was much cheaper than doing it on one board, and has the same result. I would, from now on, only purchase Behringer mixers, truely a great product.
