MGR/Stephen Hill « Behringer MX602A »
Published on 07/20/03 at 15:00I bought this mixer for $55 at Guitar Center as a front end for my computer-based recorder.
This unit's flexibility is a big plus. I have a CD player, a tape deck, a keyboard, and a mic plugged into it. Though it is technically a six channel mixer (two mono, four stereo), its routing feature enables you to use the stereo aux return and the tape in as two more stereo channels. Its compact size was a selling point for me, as I don't have much room to put my gear.
I didn't like the metering. With a little restructuring, Behringer could have moved the tape I/O to the main patchbay and had room for a longer meter. Some knobs feel cheap. The tape in can be routed to either the control room/phones out or the main out. The problem is that you cannot rout the tape in to the control room and main mix at the same time. If you try, you still hear it at both ends, but the meters are nonfunctional.
The mixer looks pretty good, and feels nice too. Personally, I don't like the plastic sides, but that's a matter of opinion.
Overall, the Behringer MX-602A is a solid little mixer for the money.
