NEW REVIEW - Great mixer!
This mixer may look small and cheap, but has amazing sound quality. It is a good mixer for anyone who is starting a garage band or recording a podcast. Just watch out for the power adapter. The end that plugs into the mixer has tiny prongs that can be bent very easily. Over all this is a very good mixer for a very good price!

Excellent quality for hobbyist
I've purchased this unit few weeks ago. I've connected this mixer with a RolanPiano 5000s with MT32 sound processor, a pair of Behringer microphones XM8500 and a Casio CTK-593 keyboard, connected the main out to an RA-100 studio amplifier with a pair of Alesis I MKII loudspeakers. The quality of sound processed by this mixer is phenomenal and I was very impressed with its very low-noise ratio. With all potentiometers to maximum there is very little noise comming out from it. Recorded few songs and the quality of the sound is extraordinar. I recommend this to anyone who has a low budget, for the money you get an great mixer.

Can't beat it for the price!
I'll admit I was skeptical about the Behringer Xenyx 802 just because of the price alone. But, once I got it home and hooked it up I was definitely glad I bought it. For home recording it's a great piece of equipment for way less money than most of its competitors. It's easy to use and can be set up a few different ways depending on how you want the sound to run into your recording system. It works well as a pre-amp by itself or going through FX and Amps. The only thing lacking is the instruction manual. If you don't know how a mixer is supposed to work don?t rely on the included manual to teach you. But there are plenty of online resources that can get you started.

Decent unit but has proprietary power adapter
We own 14 of these units which are used once weekly for about 2 hours at a time.
The initial pricing is decent and the units have been performing well overall. On two of the units, we have experienced power adapter failures. In one case, the adapter stopped working for reasons unknown, and in the other, the pins on the proprietary DIN connector sheared off.
On the remainder of the units, we have problems with the power adapter pins bending if we're not careful inserting them.
The unit has serviced us well, though if we could find another brand at this price point that used a cylindrical AC adapter connector (like the kind you see on most consumer electronics) we would buy it in a heartbeat.

Awesome Unit
I was wondering how this inexpensive unit would perform; I got it home and first plugged it into my Klipsch desktop speakers and notice an immediate difference in the sound quality (did not expect it to get that much better). I then set up for a Halloween party that I had the pleasure of providing sound for; during the sound checks it made a great sounding combination of speakers sound even better. The EQ controls allowed for the minor tweaking that other mixers in the same price range did not offer. I would recommend this mixer to anyone that asks. The right price, the right sound, how could you possibly go wrong.

Not bad, not bad at all
I bought this thing a month ago and i'm pleased with it. I'm using it as a headphone amplifier, and it's doing its job great!! Overall quality isn't the best, but it's good enough for home. I recommend it to everyone that is not an audiophile =)

Not Happy
I guess I deserve what I got because I had read many unfavorable behringer reviews about reliability. This thing worked flawlessly for 45 days and during that time I was very happy with its overall performance.Then the left channel went completely.I talked to Behringer and of course it is covered under warranty. I was told about the nifty auto exchange program they have where a dealer gives you a new one. Sounds great does'nt it? The only problem is that NO ONE participates in the program including Guitar Center.Gee I wonder why? Might have something to do with sending back hundreds of Behringer units a year.So I am stuck shelling out the $$ for shipping this thing Coast to Coast which will cost me at least $10.I should have bought the Yamaha.

Great little Mixer
If you are looking for a mixer for podcasting, personal monitor mixing, or even for small gig mixing, this is the mixer for you! It's packed full of features, is very small , and won't break the bank! I use it at my church for mixing the kids performances. It just works. One thing that should be noted - the power connector isn't designed well for travel, it will wear out over time if it is constantly being unplugged - other than that, you can't beat it!

Venry Inexpensive But Very Nice
This is a nice little intuitive mixer that anyone with a small home studio can use. Also, it would be great for location work. The preamps are surprisingly quiet and it works well for my application as a mixer for the listening station for a folk festival.

incredible value and very quiet: does the job
I have a solo act where I play three guitars using a loop station, often switching guitars in mid-song, so I use my Xenyx 802 as an instrument mixer on the floor along with the rest of my effects gear. Two of my guitars have high-impedance instrument-level outputs that cannot properly interface directly to a mixer, so I use a Horizon Stereoline STL-1 dual direct-box to precondition their outputs. The two direct-box outputs go into the two mixer mic inputs. All three guitars have radically different equalization requirements, so the mixer’s equalizers and the direct box together allow me to fully balance all of my guitars’ different characteristics, producing one fully conditioned output signal that I then feed into either my amp or my effects chain.
The Xenyx 802 works beautifully. It is astoundingly quiet. I don’t know what “British” EQ is, but the tone controls work fine. Mostly I just need something that mixes, equalizes, and is otherwise acoustically invisible. The 802 does this job perfectly with no hum, buzz, or any other sort of noise. Considering the price, it is a simply amazing value.
