  JimboSpins's review "Nice for small at home projects"

  Characteristics

  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.

  MGR/Billy's review "Behringer Xenyx 802"

  Characteristics

  Utilization

  Overall Opinion

  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.

  The Behringer 802 Xenyx mixer and the Vestax VDA 1000 power amp were ordered by me Wed nite to ship UPS 1 day, so they\'d arrive Fri, and be on the plane with me Sat to New Orleans, and Sun on a 7 day cruise, to play my gig. Thurs email from Musician\'s Friend said the Behringer 802 Xenyx was shipped overnight, as requested, and the Vestax VDA 1000 was shipped ground, to arrive the next Tuesday, after I\'d already left on the cruise where I needed it. Musician\'s Friend made me buy another Vestax VDA 1000 and have it shipped overnight to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans, to arrive Sat where I\'d be spending the nite. This required me to call my bank and change my home address to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans so the Musician\'s Friend verification process would work, which is always required by them before shipping. My email this morn included one from Musician\'s Friend, saying this second purchased Vestax VDA 1000 amp was shipped ground also! They screwed me up twice! So my call this morn to Musician\'s Friend had me screaming for almost 2 minutes, being put on hold for 4 min, then told it was too late to help me, so they\'d have to give me a refund, and file a Return to Sender on all 3 items. I didn\'t want a refund, I wanted the sound equipment! I told the floor manager at Musician\'s Friend they were only 40 minutes from the Kanas City airport, and they could get a Vestax VDA 1000 to me air frieght to the Ramada Inn in New Orleans. He told me Musician\'s Friend didn\'t do this, which to me is a strong indicator of the Musician\'s Friend true lack of concern for customer service. Now my bank will get my call to change my address back. What a pain! BTW, my ears have heard all great things about Behringer products. Also, the Vestax VDA 1000 in another web review apparently only puts out 100 watts, so the advertised numbers are not true.

  Ptilou's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good Price / Quality"

  Characteristics

  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!

  nicolazero's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Perfect for a first console or mobile use."

  Characteristics

  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:)
