  Characteristics

  Very satisfied. I bought it mainly to do live stereo recordings of band practice sessions and hooked it up to a Philips home-stereo CD recorder and pair of Behringer ECM8000 phantom omni condensers (mics designed for measurement, but they make superb room recording mics - and they're only $40 each! I recommend these mics highly.). I put the MX602A head-to-head with a $350, 12-channel Mackie board that it's three times the size and weight and it perfomed just as well. About the only thing we're still trying to figure out is how to get two instrument inputs mixed with miked drums - but with no drums from the amp - and sending that to the CD recorder.
  
  
  
  Price paid: $69 USD

  Utilization

  The manual is written for sound engineers, and it shows. I don't understand a lot of it. On the other hand, I really don't know all the possibilities, so I would basically need a crash course in the fundamentals of sound engineering to really understand. This little board is a powerful tool for my music and there will be a learning curve for me. The board is really an instrument unto itself and will take some time to master. But even with the sound geek jargon, the manual conveys the pride and excitement of the Behringer team and I felt like they really want me to be happy with their products. It has no on/off switch. When you plug it in, it's on. That's a minor inconvenience.

  Sounds

  Mindblowing cleanliness, even for a mixer at four times the cost. We cranked the amp up to a sound way beyond what you would ever normally use and just heard a slight hiss from the mixer. We did the same with the Mackie and heard a slight rumble. It's about the same amount of noise, just in different frequencies, and undetectable at normal playing or recording volumes. We did notice the EQs didn't seem to have a huge affect on the sound. The EQs are somewhat weak in that regard. But it's clean, which is most important. We can mess with the EQ at the instrument. Man, I'm stoked a $69 mixer even HAS EQs, even if they're not particularly effective.

  Overall Opinion

  It's as tough as hell. Would I take it to a gig? I'd take it to war.
  
  
  
  My bandmates like its smallness so much, they want me to bring it to use as our mixer for gigs, instead of the other guy's big Mackie. We're just three in the band, so we can get away with it, but it probably wouldn't have enough inputs for a bigger band. It's so small and light that I've put scratchy velcro on the back and it holds fast to the fuzzy fabric on the side of the amp. If you had to, you could wear it, it's that petite. We've used it for practice sessions and put it through the paces. I doesn't do a lot of fancy stuff, but what it does, it does exceedingly well, at a good price, in little space, and with VERY clean sound. Mackie and other makers should really study this low cost/limited function/high quality/compact size niche or Behinger will eat their lunch. And it looks cool.

  Characteristics

  This lil' mixer provides some very clean sounds that you would only expect from bigger consoles and it's perfect for small home studios. Fits near the computer's Monitor and has a very nice 48v Phantom power Mic Pre-Amp for Condenser mics. What kinda disappointed me is that it doesn't have a power switch(Atleast not one that i've discovered yet). I literally got to disconnect power cord to turn it off.
  
  
  
  Price paid
  
  
  
  $79

  Utilization

  It's very straight foward. everything is layed out perfectly.
  
  
  
  It's pretty good for live applications although you'll probably run out of inputs for all your synths and mics. But it does sound farely good for its size.

  Sounds

  Very nice clean sound for a lil mixing console. Maybe if there was an automated version with sliding faders in the same compact size it would be nice.

  Overall Opinion

  It's a must for all my vocal recordings. Love the pre-amps very clean.

  Characteristics

  The mic. pre-amps are great, you get a really high out-put, with "ultra-low noise" just like it says on the tin. The eq's are fairly musical, sweeping mids would have been nice, but heh! Six channels in all, though two are mono and shared with the mic. inputs(also mono). Theres a stereo aux send/return, and also phantom power for the mics.
  
  
  
  Price paid
  
  
  
  £75.00

  Utilization

  Its so easy to use, any one familiar with a half decent stereo could figure it out. My only problem is that it has knobs instead of sliding faders for the master and channels. I just set it up plugged in and recorded till my heart was content(ish). This is a great mixer for anyone who can only spare a small area, or if you aren't planning to record an entire band with it. Though a three piece might be ok!

  Sounds

  The sound is incredible for the price, I record mainly vocals and acoustic guitars through it, mixing the pick-up and the miked sound for the guitar and generally a straight mic for the vocals. The sound is consistently good for all applications that I've used it for.

  Overall Opinion

  The components used are boasted as the same that are in all there models, just on a smaller scale I presume. It is a durable little thing, I accidently dropped a fairly heavy container on it, which hit the knobs full on, leaving it without a scratch. It is ideal for the singer song writer / recording artist in a sense that it is portable and could be easily put in a bag with some mikes and a minidisk player to record gigs or for more serious location specific recordings (as long as theres a power supply).
  
  
  
  The difference that this mixer has made to my recordings without breaking the bank is too great to express. For the enthusiast on a budget the only mixer I've seen that comes close is the spirit folio notepad which retails at around £50.00s more than I paid for this and I think that I was overcharged by a twatty salesman, but I'm still rather joyfull over my purchase.

  For the price, the number of features is incredible! 100% balanced ins and outs for $69, it is a miracle!
  
  
  
  Price paid
  
  
  
  $69

  Utilization

  Super easy to use

  Sounds

  The sound is excellent, again for $69! Of course you cna get better quality if you pay a thousand or more, but frankly the noise floor is very low, perfect for waht I do with it (I use it to control the volume of my amplified speakers 20/20bas).

  Overall Opinion

  Looks very solid. metal box. knobs may loosen after a while, i havent had mine for too long so I cant say for sure
  
  
  
  I love it! Very useful. Super cheap (again)

  cprail's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  No effects, few, however, we expect much this award, so it's not dcevant.

  Utilization

  Trs simple, enjoyable to use, the pots are "soft" what they tend to become softer with age and are a little tight to each other.

  Sounds

  She always lets the breath, a lot of breath. Nanmoins remains an excellent option for returns or for non-broadcast applications.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for over two years, she is now rgulirement parasites, although a does not impede my use too much. We regret normment a button "on / off" because, let alone open too long it heats up (slowly but srement). However, for the price it was worth it, now found its equivalent, as Behringer than the competition, hopefully it is better to buy these small new leaves MODELS pay a little more expensive than it used ...

  Characteristics

  For CHARACTERISTICS'll see on the site.
  
  Overall features are sufficient ... sr although this is not the big console! It's dpart end, we are far from being in the pros Obviously!

  Utilization

  Ergonomically it is clear, easy to ACCS despite its compactness.
  
  When the manual is quite explicit. Examples of connections would be welcome t ...

  Sounds

  Good technology is not my thing ... I have to rummage a bit before finding the right connections!
  
  Fortunately it is fairly simple but at the same time to complte that does not need to save multiple sources both! Perfect for home studio who wants to be hands on a console so.
  
  
  
  I have read opinions on previous ones that put the breath!? Personally I do not! This must dpendre sound card I think!
  
  
  
  As for the qualiseur j'vite too touching ... as a general rule when shooting is allowed all of its zero-or is done via a real qualo ... the one Intgr not sharp enough to stay clear!

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two years and she provides good service.
  
  It is simple enough to not have to take the head above and complte enough to get your feet and spend later with the speed suprieure A model more efficient without being Drout .
  
  
  
  The report qualitprix is ​​excellent and I do not regret my choice!

  Andysan©'s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  No rack. Small mixing desk, when practical, high quality trs beginners but for me, very practical because few. Since I work mainly noon but I need time to time to record sounds or quiet instrumentals only has enough for me (2 mics). Yen amme almost too much for my use. It is analog so we can go all over frquences (live analog lments but for a little better than when a same ...)
  
  The equalizer is not terrible it must be said. The microphone gain either, he adds normment of breath. It is better to direct the sound up. With a sound blaster is shit! With mia, spent trs good for all without too much wind (say, you can delete the post without losing too much quality. You have to configure everything in his computer is always m me something ...

  Utilization

  Trs simple as long as we connate bases of the connections. Everything is easy and robust as well. ca holds the road well.

  Sounds

  Yes, of breath, even a lot of breath ds branch that any microphone. Least if one goes directly to the volume and if you plug an electric instrument.
  
  Equalizer really extreme cases if it is not terrible.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two and a half years now.
  
  It's practical, adpanne well and then there are not many connections, was enough for me.
  
  I did some recordings with quality. APRS, although sr while dpend of what branch it. It takes mid-range if not low or high, do not go well.
  
  I Referrer this choice? For the price (pay - 100) may be good but I can not even say when.
