• 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.

• 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.

• Handy dandy little mixer. Great bang for your buck.

  I'm an audio production student with a gaming hobby. I got my Behringer xenyx 802 to solve the problem of listening to music while gaming without having to Alt+Tab between windows. The 802 is certainly overkill for that problem, but the way I see it, it was a legitimate excuse for buying a decent piece of gear. Because the 802 has two stereo channels, I only need two channel strips for general listening, which leaves channels 1 and 2 open for whatever I want. Personally, I think there's something much nicer about adjusting your listening volume with a physical knob rather than using the mouse. The major bonus is the XLR inputs and mic preamps. Now I have a viable mic interface for recording straight to my pc, rather than only having USB mics as an option. It also might come in handy for submixing in a small studio, or in a live environment with a smaller console. Things to note/nitpicks - FX send is mono, even on the stereo channels, since the FX bus is mono. Not a big deal, but bear it in mind. AUX return is stereo. On a mixer with 4 channel strips, there's not much reason for mute/solo buttons, but I would still like to have them. Power On led is VERY bright blue. Looks cool, but you'll be looking for a strip of masking tape to cover that thing with five minutes into using the 802. Look and feel - The 802 is quite rugged. Does not feel cheap by any means. If you were thinking of using this thing to submix keyboards at your next gig, or take it on the road, you won't have to worry about it falling apart on you. Overall, I would certainly recommend the 802 for small-scale mixing applications. For the price it is a very handy tool to have around.
