All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer Xenyx 802

The Behringer XENYX 802 is an 8 channel mixer that is pretty standard. I have had about 3 of these in the last 5 years. It has been around for a while and Behringer is still selling it for about the same price that it came out for. It is very light and portable and can come anywhere with you. The knobs do break off easily though and the unit as a whole can get worn down quickly if you use it a lot. That is how I went through 3 of them over the last 5 years. These are great for small at home style projects or for karaoke or something similar to that. It does have a preamp with phantom power but it is not very good. It is pretty basic and will not give you the best quality of audio but you really cannot expect to get the best out of this unit because it is rather “cheap”. If you want to get better quality out of it for recording you will need to have a pretty good interface to make up for it.

UTILIZATION

All of the basic functions are easy to use, the manual is clear and sufficient if you even need to look at it.

SOUNDS

No it does not generate a hiss but it is not as quiet as I thought it was going to be. The EQ is pretty good for it too be at this price.

OVERALL OPINION

I do recommend getting this if you cannot afford a better set up, but that main purpose for me to get it was just for fun and to do some small stuff at home. But for some reason it just would not hold up for me. The Knobs on it were always breaking off, but it was a good thing that this is so inexpensive and it was easy to just go replace the whole thing. There are 8 channels on it and that is a huge plus for a 70 dollar mixer. It also has LED metering and some EQ options (3 bands on each channel). This mixer has all of the options needed to record with if it had better preamps I think it would be perfect. But for smaller at home stuff it does work great.

I recently had a recording gig where power was limited, it was outdoors and all I needed was two tracks. Odd? Yes, but after some homework I settled on the Xenyz 802 mixer by Behringer.

2 reasons I went with it; Behringer is stocked just about every and has a great return policy to boot and also the price point can't be beat, it was $50. I have used it for a handful of small gigs including a DJ gig with powered speakers.

It is small. It is smaller than the average laptop and well about spot on to the footprint of a Kindle.

Technically it is '8 channels' but realistically, you have 2 XLR ins an RCA in/out and 2 summoned stereo channels. Really for its size it is plenty handy, I just want to warn those who think 'Oh I can plug 8 mics into it'

It is simple to use, plug n play with no real learning curve needed.

It is a tad bit noisy and the preamps are so so. I know and expect this from a cheap mixer. If you are looking to do some worthwhile recordings though you may want to pass on it.

Behringer makes a decent little mixer. It's been knocked around and dropped casually and still keeps on ticking. The knobs and jacks feel strong on it and I know Behringer has a great return policy.

A nice little mixer for small projects and at a price you can easily pick it up to use as a backup or for DJ gigs.

4-simple voice, insert one into the possible effects rack hard, inputs and outputs properly. Is a table minimum and very compact, but it's table?

UTILIZATION

Especially simple and compact! This is used very intuitively and user manual clearly explains the BA - BA of a mixer. Buttons and connectors are serious and solid.

One disadvantage of the model I bought has a button that activates the phantom power supply (for condenser mics), but alas this button once you r'appuie above, does not cut the 'alim phamtom! arrgg! must be off the table (for the power supply) to cut the power supply phamtom of micro ... no doubt this is an abnormal production ... but I have not returned the table to repair this pb! shame!

Moreover, it has no power switch ... must disconnect the table. (Nb: not plop abnormal)

SOUNDS

This is quite correct! the breath is not fatal! We must go molo with EQ! But it is an entry-level tool that integrates honorably in a home studio set of models!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months. Its price / quality is very good for an amateur home studio and use an insert effect module! € 53 anyway, it's a budget price! In short it is a product that is technically and kept his promise "very" budget!

I am far from a pro that certainly will not buy that table anyway, but it has the advantage of being the only two stereo channels with separate EQ and so many possibilities on each channel. Low is also the price of output tables for 2 years

we find the technical information on all sites and Behr has posted the data sheet, the manual is clear and french, all very well detailed, I enjoyed the pre-sales service!

the connection is very practical, high quality, well positioned, the 2 stereo channels each on a 3-band equalizer and the level / effect. To 1 / bus with a send effect + the ability to integrate other sources (RCA) as a CD or another PC (laptop for a friend of electro beef), one can listen to or mix.

I Essey the preamp with a microphone (not high quality it is true): not terible when I got a much better quality when I connected to my hi-fi amplifier, not Essey on the sound card but the result should be better on a soundblaster!

I just Essey with a microphone, I do not like the songs let alone the song.

there are no faders, 60 mm is too short anyway, less accurate than the knobs properly adjusted. the equalizer 3-band is useful for premixes, it actually changes the sound, it gives me an idea of ​​the report but I would not leave like that for a recording, you need to redo my opinion on a PC before.
by pushing a bottom heavy and greasy souflle escapes from the console .... but in real case I prefer not to think that I have to push them that far anyway

UTILIZATION

Reason for this purchase: mix multiple sources (PC and Analogik synths + effects) to a PC for good listening and recording at a reasonable price!
it greatly simplifies my connections and can store everything in the blink of an eye.

the config is minimal!

I enjoyed the pre-sale: online manual + specs ...
Paper manual in French very detailed.

SOUNDS

Otherwise, it adds the sin / dynamic compared to a direct connection from a sound card on an amp but also compression in the midrange and lower midrange: we like it or not, I do not have a compressor and j ' rather enjoys the 80's made ...
as the treble is not affected it does not bother me.

it makes no noise or other power supply from 10 am to use. not breathing either. After extensive use, there is on the breath! you can not push her to the table but with the apps do.

Eq is really effective, may be too, related to the precision / race knobs.

OVERALL OPINION

Ddepuis 5 months, all my audio system passes through it, 5h/jour mini.

his little + is a separate control that allows the headphone, after adjustments, to mix + / - with the headset without it becoming too tiring (I could not before this purchase: too many different frequencies)

I do not understand the value of integrating the preamp also bof in such a small console, I would much rather another stereo (or 2) left to put a mic preamp quality front! for a table that price you can put in a good preamp + if it is needed and that we keep in case of buying a table and big. the manufacturer has made the economy of a change in the circuit on a product Adapted + fat, improve old and transplanted ... when he could sell it cheaper and more appropriate (I'm) the current market for small homestudio pregnant ...

not essey other console in this price range (not seen) I can hardly compare. it is far from Yamaha 01 that I know better but including itself perfectly in a small config / low budget.

I put 9 because it has not still not a great quality, excellent seller benoit had said to me "when get tired of hearing thee with the breath, you'll take quality over" indeed but I have no place to put a studio set on my desk and I did not like the idea of ​​having a console for 3-4 1 meter stereo channels max. and 4 preamp, which are useless ...

and + drive has been that nearly cost me the cables cost the table!
price / quality ratio is excellent! unfocused probably ...

as is often the small budgets that the reluctant +, I have this opinion but I'm not really qualified to criticize a mixer: SoundForge was my teacher!

finally I'm pretty happy with the "console a two way bus" with synthetic sources, I did not need +!
and when comparing with other console you must add 100 € for 2 microphones + with no use to me so I do it again this choice of course.
but this is not a console "for life" recess

Dja cit above

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration n effect.
trs clear manual trs detailed in relation to the size of the console.

SOUNDS

Transparent? Proper breath of the crossing of a knob "12:00"
normment and if all the world thoroughly.
qualiseur especially effective attnuer treble, the console sounds quite a bit this mtallique is the problem on the console.

Otherwise 76 euros for what more.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy one week there.
so far nothing.
I have not had a dja bhringuer is the same thing only the "cosmtique" has changed.
Well.
I think I would take the next one with less and less mtallique breath.

...

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple configuration, it has to ask what is the record. I did not even need to look at the record as c'tait simple. Trs accssible function in the process.

SOUNDS

Magnificent lack of breath on this point nothing to say. Equalizer blah blah, but there are better regarding the price should not be asking too much.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this jewelry for 1year and a half and its particular feature I like most, His silence. Has its my first exprience regarding mixers and I pa t of, especially with the trs good value for money. Petit point ngatif: The absence of switch, forcing toulten adbrancher the adapter from the wall, trs Not smart.

With the exprience I think has not tightened not a problem to repeat this choice, having said that with a higher budget we always want to target the high end.

No rack
Connectors: inputs XLR mics and line Jack. Input and output jack RCA line out
An alternative route to FX
Graphic Equaliser

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, perfect for beginners with little experience.
Manuel accurate, except that there is only one for XENYX 502, 802 and 1002.

SOUNDS

The sound is not perfect but very good for this price range.
The EQ is good, although not very sensitive.
The gain brought a lot of breath.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 2 years to record an upright piano.
The value for money is probably the best in the market for analog consoles.
This product recommended for professional and yet (or audiophiles).
The product and also very limited for a recording orchestra. (Enough for two microphones piano).

Or other advice and Behringer site for technical details.

No effects, but at this price, do not expect.

Basically, it was worth the money. I got a little ripped off ... I bought a magsin Music Leader who performs horribly high prices.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple. This is my first table and is excellent for what I did. I go for in a guitar, a keyboard and a microphone.
The manual is clear but it goes well.

SOUNDS

The console is it clear ?....
This is my first impossible for me to judge that.

The equalizer is effective if the corrections to be applied are not complex. At that time, it quickly exceeded.

It introduces the breath very high volume. But in my use (home studio), I do not push the volume to max so no worries on that level.

As for the preéamplis, they are good but we still have a good mic at the base. However, the headroom is quite large.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the past 1 year

This is my first table. I like its simplicity and excellent value for money really. However, we quickly progressing to need something higher. (I am currently looking over a table with microphone inputs and digital devices to record separate tracks)

Very good value for money again.

I would do this choice on the same terms of budget and needs. Today, I would save and wait for Christmas to be offered by a table top dad mom

analogue desk, good quality
Two XLR inputs, six mono jacks (or three stereo)
Headphone jack and outputs CD / tape out, CAR
Possibility of an external effects loop

UTILIZATION

Eqs are limited to three potentiometers,
However, the trim (preamp) are doing their job!



SOUNDS

No breath, good transparency for a cheap product!

OVERALL OPINION

Only used for troubleshooting, experiencing little concert (mic preamp voice).
A good product to begin or to complete the mixing function in your small home studio.
Behringer hat! The price is unbeatable

Early XENYX not rack.

2 entries mono 6.35 jack or line level XLR els Units 1 and 2

2 stereo input jack on 6.35 els lanes 3 and 4

1 input stereo RCA cd, md, dat (a simple button eniveau without correction)

The FX is stereo jack so it will take a cable broke vraissemblablement stereo jack to two mono jacks.
No effects, ets light in the small mixer.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?

Hyper Single

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

not had to read it ...
The usual functions are they easily accessible?

yes but the faders are more accurate and faster to use, not end it takes the same place either ...

SOUNDS

The console is transparent?

XENYX models seem a little better than ke sprédécesseurs UB802, less blast, but a little cold can be ...

The equalizer is it effective? ...
for this type eproduced it goes but there is no cutting down of kill.

she introduced the breath?

No breath ... to do with a dynamic mic if the gain is pushed too if the breath does not become audible ...


OVERALL OPINION

I used to record small voice of a witness in an mbox, or for small live performances as a duo or trio (two keyboards, a voice for instance ... a sax and a mp3 or cd for the music room) I l used extremely rarely, ell th serves mostly to avoid in left free of other benefits for small and very simple.

I love its compactness, strength of the metal chassis, and the price!
I don t like the absence of PFL PFL makes it impossible to source a headphone while the main mix is broadcast on the front.
I've used small and compact Mackies behringer peavey. The value for money is good but beware: it is therefore very limited given the prices of the models a little bigger, you really have to ask whether it is close to 50 euros ...

It is a small Swiss army knife for the diff theater / conference, repeated or live in small groups or for monitoring in video editing, that's not bad!

Used to 40 or 50 euros, but it just always used the absence of pfl really bothers me.
Everything is a matter of necessity. Behringer is a brand rather sacked, exept for some compressors, but it has its place in the market, some applications do not require high-end, useless to the jaded and eschew this little practical purpose.

nothing to add everything on the site

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple, it can serve as a dj who has to pass various sources on an outing, a keyboardist with several keyboard, or home studio base what I do
Everything is accessible on the front, which can connect and disconnect cables very easily. I can not remember the manual, I learned by reading and trial and error, we quickly realized the effects of each button

SOUNDS

no breath!, the console is very clean, I even feel that it makes clearer the stereo, I did not feel real compression.
They say that eq troubleshoots Well, I do not use them.
Warning! pre amps are good but not great: lack of brilliance, if you have a les paul type guitar (large midrange) di, you will not have the ring properly, so in some cases, I use another preamp and I put the gain to zero on the console, but having said that, in most cases it is sufficient to use amateur / semi pro

OVERALL OPINION

I depusi two years, I use it to attack my internal sound card, and I'm back = Diaphragm microphone phantom power, condenser mics, and guitars and basses in direct (pre amp for external grt), sometimes another synth on pc or stereo inputs. the main output of my table is sent to the soundcard, and the output card is sent to the auxiliary input that goes to the control room, so to my speakers, this connection is a fairly complicated figures possible on the table I can then be used as Audio Manager there (I much fiddling to adjust the input volume, as the volume of speakers) is a perfect solution for me in two years, I have noticed no audible signs or even physical aging. So perfect for managing a sound card 2entrée/sorties without preamp. I redo this choice without doubt.
