XENYX Q802USBThe ultra-compact XENYX Q802USB mixer’s 8 Inputs (2 mic, 2 stereo) allow you to effortlessly achieve premium-quality sound, thanks to 2 onboard studio-grade XENYX Mic Preamp and ultra-musical “British” channel EQ. And our easy-to-use “one-knob” compressors provide total dynamic control for the ultimate in punch and clarity, while respecting all the power and emotion you pack into every note. Add to this, the sweet forgiveness of our British-style EQ and superb ease of use – and the Q802USB becomes an incredibly versatile mixer for your live performances. But the XENYX Q802USB isn’t just designed to handle your live gigs; it also provides the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with its built-in USB/audio interface, the Q802USB mixer comes with all the recording and editing software needed to turn your computer system into your own personal high-performance home recording studio. | Sonically Superior Mic PreampsThe XENYX Q802USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over the world. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, the XENYX Q802USB provides such transparent, crystal- clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. | One-Knob CompressionAsk professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous – dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs find challenging. Our “one-knob” compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products in this class – but standard on the XENYX Q802USB mixer. | Sublimely Musical British EQThe British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on your XENYX Q802USB mixer is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. |

Pues lo que mas me gusto es que es pequea , no me ocupa espacio, la calidad del sonido es muy buena, lo unico malo, es que se calienta mucho supongo que los ingenieros pensaron en usar toda la carcasa metalica como disipador. Estoy pensando en ponerle una de esas bases con ventiladores para laptop, esto para que dure mucho mas tiempo funcionando.
I bought this mixer to hook up to my digital piano which is also connected to an imac through the USB option. The aim was to listen to both through headphones in my upstairs apartment. It works beautifully. Sound is as clear as I could have hoped for without any interference. I’ve also hooked up a recording device through the ‘2-Track’ output.
This version comes with compressors on 2 of the channels which is a nice touch as is the phantom power, though I haven’t yet tested this. The LED meters shows volume and clip and works effectively. It’s quite a lightweight unit, but by now way does it feel ‘cheap’. Behringer make quality, cost effective gear and this mixer (and their others) are no exception.
Recommended!
Esta mezcladora ha hecho maravillas con mis equipos que necesitaba integrar. Un sonido sin distorsin y limpio.
Essential and easy to use gear for any quick performance or recording. I have about 3 of these same mixers for different studios and locations. Very handy and useful in any situation.
LOOOOVE this little mixer. So versatile and reliable. Good build quality. Love i
I used it for recording drums and streaming and it worked perfectly fine and the sound quality is really good through the USB output. However, the headphone port sound crackly at times and reduces the dynamic range of whatever headphones you have plugged into it, as opposed to plugging the headphones straight into the computer.
Mixer provides very good noise free sound, however the power connection jack is intermittent if unit is moved. Even though connector is completely installed up & down movement turns unit off.
I added this to my mini solo gigging rig. I allows 6 instruments or Mics to mix down to two channels (or one – the way I use it – all inputs panned to one channel then into a single input combo).
I really like the ASIO out into usb, great for quick audio capture. It’s not as high quality or low latency as my Behringer u-phoria, but it really gets the job done!!
I love the “English EQ” (high, mid, and low) for small gigging. The Phantom 48v supply is really handy for condenser Mics for guitars. I’ve probably not used all the features on this “more than entry level” mixer.
I bought this mainly to use with recording & effects processing software but it’s so portable and versatile I’ve been using it for small venue gigs instead of my Mackie 12fx mixer
Easily fits in a gig bag!
The inclusion of compression on the four xlr/line in channels is great, all mixers should have this feature
Also works perfectly as an external usb soundcard and audio interface
Es muy fcil de usar, yo grabo con ella y es muy buena!!!
I don’t have much to say, it’s was solid and felt premium. The reason why I’ve given it four stars is that it doesn’t support audio monitoring. That wasn’t the issue for me though, the Headphones/CTRL Room amplify knob was faulty, the right channel would fade out then back in again at a particular position, sadly that position was just to liable to cause problems in the future so I sent it back.
I bought this for podcasting . 1, make sure you find the updated drivers or you’ll go mad trying to find out why your getting a hiss. 2 to record and listen back you need a stereo phono lead .
Other than that it’s great value for money and my Calming Anxiety podcasts are always in the Spotift charts
Il mixer funziona benissimo. Molto semplice da utilizzare. Banale da installare su win10 (lo vede come una scheda audio). Le voci dei microfoni sono buone e la base audio dal PC ha qualit sonora buona.
You can also have a Skype call in via your pc and use the unit to speak back to them and record the “interview” on OBS. Here are the things I didn’t like, out the box it has a wobble if put on flat surface, not a major issue (blue tack under one corner fixes it) but an issue neither the less. Next issue is it is powered with a “special” adapter which has pins in it. This is flimsy and already I have experienced it turning off when I moved the unit on the desk and one when I moved it slightly. All that said I have been happy as thinking about how much it costs I have to live with these quirks.
I would recommend it YES!
his is my second one of these i use it to run my online radio station. i still have some playing around to do but so far working great will update once tweaking has been completed.
Fcil de usar, entrega inmediata, por el costo ofrecen ms…
This is an inexpensive way of getting to grips with the concepts of sound production.
La verdad es que funciona bastante bien es una buena opcin para algn proyecto pequeo o porttil, los materiales adecuados por lo que pagas y muy intuitivo para usar.
I made a Frankenstein karaoke machine and this mixer allowed me to plug in two mics, one with phantom power! There is no noise and the controls are basic and straight to the point! Awesome buy for anyone looking for a cheap mixer with big price performance and usability!
Muy bueno la verdad es que todo, funciona a la perfeccin, muy recomendable
Sound is really good , matched with a Behringer C-1 mic and it is much better than my Blue Snowball or Nessie.
Build quality is very good , all the knobs are tight and stiff etc.
The loss of a star is because the device has NO POWER BUTTON. What a dumb and dangerous omission.
The unit gets very warm after a few hours use so a power button should be on the device.
only used a couple of times so far but have been very impressed with performance and sound quality
Looks the part, straightforward to use, wood sound quality, reasonable price. What’s not to like?
Brilliant came really quick good value for what it is looking forward to learning how to use it properly
This mixer is ridiculously good at the price. Granted, it may only have two XLR inputs, but for me, that’s perfect as I am rarely using more than one microphone. The only downside to this mixer is its lack of ability to monitor the audio coming from the mixer whilst recording on a computer if you have to listen to playback to record over something. Apart from that, it is a brilliant product and would highly recommend for aspiring musicians
Lo utilic para montar un Karaoke y qued de lujo (hasta sobrado): dos mic’s dinmicos, una entrada de lnea y salida a bocinas. Me gusta que puedas modificar la entrada de mic’s, ya que tambin la us para grabar unos podcasts, as la postproduccin de audio es ms ligera al no tener que modificar estos valores.
El panel es de metal y los lados de plstico. Es grande, s necesita su propio espacio.
Integrated sound processer is not comparable to external sound ones, but works, there are 99 sound effects options. With the cheap price tag, it wont go wrong
I’ve had this mixer for a few months now and I’m quite happy with it. It’s small and light so it’s easy to pack with the other gear for gigs, and it does everything I need for guitar and vocals in pubs and clubs. It works well, sounds good and is quite easy to use. All without breaking the bank.
The only thing that lets it down is the power supply, and that’s why I’ve only given four stars. Firstly there are two long leads on the power pack that get tangled in transit, a single one would be much more user friendly. The other let down is the power connector on the unit, it is quite a flimsy fit and I would expect it to start dropping out at some point. For now I’ve taped it permanently in but I’ll do some modification when the warranty has expired. Aside from this though I’m really happy with it.
Its a brilliant small desk which is perfect for my needs. I’m using it at gigs to sub mix my keyboards before going into my Yamaha DX12 speaker, giving me EQ.
Having the USB Audio Interface option is fantastic. I have used it connected through my Kingston Nucleum USB-C hub (also recommend) acting as an audio interface for my new iPad Pro 11inch and it worked perfectly.
Fantastic product,for starting up with,my use is for streaming,an it suits all my needs.Would certainly recommend
Ideal for a beginner in sound mixing. Robust. The AC input is flimsy and will need replacing at some point but you get what you pay for.
Excellent sound, great preamp, company money saved with no on/off switch which would have been nice to have. Controls/eq/wiring ang plugs all excellent gor the price.
Es una consola muy prctica, la relacin calidad-precio es excelente.
The minor flaws are:
– The power cord connection into the unit is very flimsy. A slight movement of the mixer or the power cord causes the cord
to become dislodged from the mixer. I don’t know why this obvious weakness was not corrected by Behringer.
– The phantom 48 mic power switch is very tiny and the spring is very weak. Hard to tell from a glance if it is on or off.The power light indicator will glow for several seconds after the switch is deactivated. It’s confusing at times.
Utilis chaque semaine pour des soires dans un bar. Simple d’utilisation et excellente qualit.
brilliant product. perfect for a bedroom dj or producer. I run my krk through then brilliant.
Para mis necesidades, dos entradas de micro y dos entradas de linea stereo ecualizadas es suficiente.
La salida USB la encuentro interesante no para hoy sino para un futuro en que las entradas de ordenadores se limitarn a modalidad unicamente digital.
Como calidad de sonido es muy aceptable para el precio que cuesta, considerando un soplido de fondo un tanto alto cuando se abusa de la ecualizacin maxima en agudos para las entradas de micro.
Escog este producto entre toda la gama de mesas de mezcla.
I have been using this for a week now to mix audio on Facebook messenger and it works extremely well. The features and sound quality are great – phantom power, eq, panning etc.
It’s not perfect by a long way – as seems to be the case with all Behringer Xenyx mixers it wobbles on a flat surface – not the end of the world but if you have a microphone nearby and are using the controls it is picked up. I found blu tack under the ‘feet’ solves the problem.
More worrying is that the power connector is very poor. It is a micro din type and it really doesn’t fit properly and feels like it could come out at any time (it hasn’t but I expect it will) given that the unit doesn’t have an on-off switch you have to take it out then plug it back in every time you use it (or switch it off at the power outlet). I am concerned about its lifespan. Why they couldn’t use a standard plug baffles me.
Another strange thing is that using the USB/2-track inputs appears to mute the other inputs – this maybe to prevent feedback but its a pain,
I can live with all these niggles for the price and for the relatively simple task I need it for it works well.
Great back up for my 24 channel Yamaha when I do not need a big mixer. Great for voice overs and such.
Todo super bien :).
An esoty aprendiendo a usarla, pero me ha sido de mucha utilidad 🙂 , lleg a tiempo y bien empaquetada.
Very good entry level mixer or if you want to learn more about mixers. I use it for listening to both my pcs and to capture audio from my gaming pc as I do Twitch streaming and I didn’t know anything about mixers but I’ve learned how to use them by having this one. However if you want a premium sound quality mixer then find a more expensive one as you get what you pay for.
Awesome piece of kit and excellent downloads from behringer website. Make sur eyou download the asio4all driver works well.
Wollte aber ein Mikro das nicht USB ist weil ich auch bisschen Heimmusik mache (DJ und Gitarre).
Voll Zufrieden. es macht genau das was ich wollte. Hier bietet sich an auch ggf. ein paar YT-Videos zu schauen, da teilweise die Einstellungen ned ganz logisch sind.
Ich kann es empfehle
-flaws
-plug falls out but i don’t move the unit much so it isn’t an issue
– my headset makes a popping noise when plugged into it(fixed that issue by plugging my at m50x headphones into my scarlett solo)
other then those issues it is great it sounds clear and it was cheap enough would reccomend
An excellent small mixer for travelling and easy to use and user friendly.
Bei den ersten Versuchen klang das Mischpult schrecklich. Dumpf, verrauscht und mit Strgeruschen. Bis ich dann mit der richtigen Einstellung meine PCI Soundkarte deaktiviert habe in der Aufnahme und somit alle Strgerusche weg waren. Die on Bord Karte verursacht diese Gerusche nicht und das Ergebnis ist super mit dem rode nt1a im ersten test und dem richtigen einpegeln. Warum die pci Soundkarte Einfluss hat auf das usb audiointerface ist mir nicht klar. Auf jeden Fall funktioniert es jetzt und ich bin glcklich.
Hatte erst an ein defekt gedacht und deshalb Ersatz bestellt, was schnell funktionierte. Da das Gert das selbe machte habe ich dieses problemlos zurck geschickt.
Alles in allem bin ich zufrieden mit dem Preis/Leistungsverhltnis um damit dem Hobby musik zu machen nachzugehen!
Ich habe das Pult zwischen meinen Rechner und meine Stereoanlage geschlossen und ersetze damit die UCA-222. Den Ausgangssound hat das nochmal deutlich verbessert. Auerdem lasse ich meine Aufnahmen fr Podcasts ber das Pult laufen. Ich nutze dafr ein T.Bone SC 400 und habe nix zu beanstanden. Der Klang ist dafr, dass ich kein schalisoliertes Studio habe, wirklich gut.
Das Pult wird zwar minimal warm, allerdings nicht so, dass es stren wrde. Den nicht vorhandenen On/Off-Knopf kompensiere ich mit einem 2,50 Zwischenschalter aus dem Baumarkt.
Der einzige echte Nachteil fr mich ist, dass man das Eingangssignal aus dem USB-Anschluss leider nicht aussteuern kann. Dafr ziehe ich einen Stern ab.
Fazit fr das Geld wirklich ein tolles Pult und jederzeit zu empfehlen.
Superb so far as it has done everything that I wanted it to do.
Nach fast einem Jahr im Einsatz kann ich sagen, es erfllt genau seinen Zweck ist Qualitativ gut verarbeitet und funktioniert noch tadellos. Sicherlich liegt es auch daran, welche Erwartungen man an so ein Gert dieser Preisklasse hat, ich finde jedoch, dass hier das Preis-/Leistungsverhltnis in Ordnung geht.
Man muss beim Preis bedenken, dass das Behringer Q802USB eine Phantomspeisung und einen eingebauten Verstrker besitzt. Hier ist der Mixer fast jeden Tag im Einsatz ohne jegliche Ausflle.
Ich habe das Mischpult nun schon ein paar Wochen in Benutzung und bin zufrieden.
Allerdings braucht es einen Trick, um sich selbst und Computer-Sound zu hren und dabei den Ton vom Mikrofon in den PC zu bringen.
Te permite llevar todo tu trabajo analgico al plano digital.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente
I don’t know why Behringer didn’t fit an on/off switch, but that was easily solved by fitting a switched plug VASI4KO – Switched Plugtop 13A on/off switch Red neon indicator – VASI4KO
Lots of dials and knobs that I’m working through, but most things are intuitive enough to get started without the manual. Love how they included a power supply and USB cable. I have the same wobble as other reviewers but I just stuck some plastic under the front right corner & it’s done. One point, there is no mono output so if you want to send a signal to a mono amp for example like I do, you’ll have to make a cable-no problem, took about 20 mins to solder one together. So far I’m really impressed and delighted with this addition to my little home studio.
Very good quality and versatility. The only complaint is that the power plug at the back does not go in very far into the socket, so easy to cut the power supply by moving the cable. This really should have been done better.
Perfect USB Audio Mixer Lo cost hi performance audio mixer nice sound for mic and other instrument. we can include two other inputs in it. it’s output very good . over all this is a perfect choice who want to make home recording or mini professional studio. i buy for personal home studio and it help me which i want.
I really like the sound from this unit, comes with the usual features of a Behringer mixer. The only complaint is the DIN connector for power, there are better connectors available.
Fairly cheap construction but good audio quality. Bought to use with an AT2020 microphone and am not disappointed so far. Fairly compact which is good since my desk is already very busy.
I was looking at a focusrite interface but i didnt have $300 This gives me full control and i can hook up my outboard processor run everything through the processor and monitor it. Finally the usb let me send everything to my software(Ableton) and there it is. This is central to my studio and it cost only $80
My only criticism is that I see a potential design flaw, the exact same one that my previous Behringer mixer suffered, in that the vent is on the bottom of the unit (probably no other place to put it) & this causes the heat to pool under the mixer when in use. These things get quite warm when they are powered up & I have concern for the solder joints during prolonged use. But this being said, it’s easily remedied by placing it ontoa stand or small box to allow the heat to disperse better.
I needed a small compact audio mixer to fit into a small space next to my video editing equipment….this fitted the bill perfectly but the best thing about it is the quality of the sound it produces. using a phantom powered large diaphragm capacitor microphone sounds really nice and clean with very low noise, equalisation frequencies are well chosen allowing music to be enhanced. Control knobs are positive and precise with a good quality feel about them….This is quite a comprehensive little mixer more than capable of excellent results……
Buon rapporto qualit/prezzo.
Il fatto di avere l’alimentatore esterno (con entrambi i cavi abbastanza lunghi) rappresenta una corretta scelta progettuale perch tiene lontani i 50 Hz della rete elettrica. In generale l’immunit da rumore buona.
Le istruzioni per l’uso sono un po’ scarne e presuppongono che l’utilizzatore abbia gi le competenze di base del mondo audio/elettronico.
Comode le dimensioni ridotte e il peso veramente irrisorio. Se il numero di canali vi sufficiente, una buona scelta.
Pros.
Its very good mixer for multiple connection use.
Its USB connection is flawless and usefull.
British EQ adds charm / good enhancement to sound.
Cons
The limitation is you can not use its British EQ if connected through USB.
You need to control volume from computer only incase of USB source.
MIC has hell lot of noise. (But thats not my primary use so I am ok with it)
Behringer Xenyx Q802USB USB Audio Mixer and
Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone , Its a best entry level audio mixer, It has built in USB sound card, so no need to add USB interface with this model.
If you know about Audio engineering then buy otherwise dont buy it because without knowing about the audio you cant able use its full potential out of it. If you dont know about sound waves and wrong connections / setting may leads to damage mixer circuit. before un plug the XLR connector down the gain nob fully. If you mishandled it then you cant claim warranty too! so be careful when you buy it.

Hey this is a nice little unit I would buy it again. Easy set up works well and no problems.
Some people complain about the wobble on a counter or desk well fix it get the felt feet and mount them under the unit and that problem goes away. This also lifts the unit for better cooling a bit I believe.
A great mixer that is easy to install and setup, lot’s of video tutorials online at YouTube if you need help. So far it is doing a great job on my Windows 10 Pro PC.
Amazing value for the money! I bought this for my karaoke setup, and it is better than I had hoped. Very low noise, good controls, solid construction, and great feature set for the price. The best feature is the USB input/output, which can be used as a monitor channel or to record the main sound directly from the mixer. It even works in both directions at once! I originally wasn’t going to buy the USB option, but now I’m very glad I did! Great product!
Most of my studio stuff is 20+ years old & now it’s just me recording for fun. This little guy replaced a huge old mixing board, an audio interface, and a mike pre-amp & compressor. Suddenly space to put down my coffee & it works fine for me!
I’m not a pro in mixer and this kind of stuff but yeah it work well haha
Fantastic range of features and quality – don’t be fooled by the price tag.
Neben viel “Kleinzeug” von Behringer und den KENYX 502 sowie 802 habe ich nun mein drittes “Mischpult” in Form des Q802USB ins Haus geholt, weil ich auch im Bereich des DAW ein wenig experimentieren wollte, und der versprochene USB Ausgang dieses Teils meine Klnge endlich einmal direkt in den PC splen sollte.
Ich kann nur sagen.. “Mission erfllt”.. Wie gewohnt gut verpackt, einfach angesteckt, Ding-Ding sofort vom PC erkannt, und der Rest ist nur mehr Einstellungssache.
Wenn man keinen Schrott anschliesst, kommt hinten einfach Freude raus. Kein Rauschen, kein Knarzen, keine Potigerusche, einfach pure Freude fr kleines Geld.
Ich mchte das erwhnen, weil manche Rezessions-Neurotiker immer wieder Vergleich zu hochpreisigen Vergleichsartikeln posten. Ich mache Musik seit mehr als 25 Jahren, und habe meine Signale auch schon in wirklich teure Vergleichsprodukte schicken drfen… Wer da tatschlich grosse Unterschiede findet, darf mir diese gerne auch persnlich vorfhren… der Rest ist Geschwtz!
PS. Ich habe mir mein gesamtes Behringer Equipment immer selbst zum Vollpreis gekauft und nie etwas auch nur einen Euro vergnstig “zum freundlichen Testen” erhalten. Ich kenne nicht einmal einen einzigen Mitarbeiter von dort persnlich..
…und jetzt darf gehatet werden 😉
El nico detalle es que no tiene botn de encendido/ apagado , por lo que para prenderla o apagarla tienes que desconectar el cable .
This is a great mixer for the price. The only con is that it does not have an on/off switch. I use a switch panel on a rack so this wasn’t an issue for me. I’ve been using Behringer for a long time. It’s gets a wrap for being a “cheap” brand but I always found them to be reliable and priced right for items that will be used in a rehearsal or studio setting.
I have now purchased two of these mixers for use with our local Net radio station. High quality sound at a price that works for a non-profit. REALLY wish that Behringer put mute buttons on each channel, but that’s not a deal breaker (most of the other low-end mixers have the same issue).
Mixer works good and booster amp is very good sounding. I’ve found so far all the Behringer equipment line of good quality and sound so far.
It is one of the best for the price range. Quality is really great and with minimum effort you start recording/mixing/podcasting. The Xenyx pre-amps are of professional quality to give the phantom-power to the two mic inputs, if you’re connecting studio quality condensor mics.
If you’re also planning to hook up a mobile-phone to record telephonic interviews on your show, it is better to get some additional cables and there is a helpful you-tube video […] . It was really helpful for me. Thanks to Marcellus King for the tech advice.
Altogether, I’m pretty happy with the purchase. You’re never wrong with a Behringer 🙂
Excellent replacement for my previous XenyxQ1200 (or something like that). My MPC 1.9.4 software and iMac OS El Capitan (10.11 I think?) recognize this as “USB Codec” @ 44.1 kHz sampling rate and my digital keyboards are sounding well through it. I think my latency on software is audible so the audio buffer size had to be adjusted down to 320samples. Blah blah. If you can’t hear while recording or don’t see levels you might have to double check “To Main Mix” or “To control room” buttons are pressed/depressed or that computer monitor mode is on/off. Otherwise straight forward.
BEHRINGER Q802 USB
THIS IS A BRILLIANT BIT OF KIT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO RECORDING. WORTH TEN STARS !!!!!
WHETHER ITS A POD CAST OR RECORDING SONGS USING MULTITRACK- D.A.W.s
IT IS SIMPLE TO SET UP AND USE.
IVE HAD CHANCE TO TEST IT OUT FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT HAS BEEN PERFECT FOR RECORDING VOCALS, GUITARS USING
PROTOOLS AND OTHER D.A.W.s
THOUGH IT IS SIMPLE TO USE – IT IS A WONDERFUL AUDIO INTERFACE. WITH BUILT IN PRE AMPS – COMPRESSORS – FX SEND/ RETURN.
AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER BEHRINGER AUDIO INTERFACES , I THINK I MADE A WISE CHOICE WITH THIS ONE.
IT DOES ALL THAT I WAS WANTING AN AUDIO INTERFACE TO DO – PLUS A WHOLE LOT MORE.
THE PRICE WAS MORE THAN REASONABLE – ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING EVERY THING THIS BEUATY CAN DO.
This is a great little mixer, I have a babyFace as well which is quieter but has the mixer in the computer. There is something much more immediate and easy to use by having the knobs to twiddle to get the right sound. And it really is remarkably quiet for the price, good enough for live and for recording all but the quietest of music. What a Deal
This mixer was great for my Shure SM7B.
Has phantom power so it was able to power the microphone correctly. Sadly it stopped working and I had to buy another one. However, because it was such a great mixer, I thought it was worth it.
I like that this mixer was able to have dual channel use for 2 separate audio devices and for multiple users to hear with headphones. It made for great use when friends were over and we would podcast for fun.
Using this as an audio interface to record some synth gear jams on a laptop. This is the least expensive way I can find to do that. The recordings come out clean using Logic Pro. Unit is small lite and functional. Setup in logic takes less than 30 seconds and no drivers are needed on a Mac.
Super fast response. No latency. Plenty of inputs and outputs. Perfect for the hobbyist!
I’m a Dj and I have found it to be perfect for my needs
If your starting a podcast or just need to mix into your computer, this mixer is perfect. I’ve had no issues with sound quality. Simple, easy to use and gives me what I need. There is no on or off switch but I usually shunt down with power bar so no big deal, it’s usually norm for USB powered Mics and mixers.
Excellent mixer for video production, podcast production and basic audio work. The USB port works well to capture audio on a computer, Also great for schools, churches and community Centres that need a basic mixer. The only issue I have is that the unit does not have a power switch, so hook it up to a power bar with a switch for easy power on off. Also has phantom power which is a real plus.
Serves the intended function.
Pros:
– Plug and play
– Phantom power (48v microphone support)
– Compact yet rugged
– USB connectivity (the primary reason for why anyone should pick this)
Cons:
– Seems to generate noise at times (could however be a microphone/cable issue)
– Sometimes needs a reset when powering up – this is where an on/off power switch would help
– Should include 3.5 mm headphone jacks as well
ich konnte kein permanentes Rauschen feststellen wie in Vorigen Bewertungen beschrieben.
Am Anfang war ein rauschen drauf aber nach ein paar Einstellungs nderungen und test aufnahmen war dies auch mit Phantomeispeisung weg.
Tip nicht nur Bewertungen lesen sondern auch auf Youtube suchen dort findet man die Einstellung beim folge Modell Q1002 gut erklrt.(ist so hnlich und klingt vollkommen gleich mit dem rode Nt1a)
fr die die meinen mann drfe die Phantomeinspeisung nicht nehmen ohne kommt so gut wie kein Ton in den Computer rein.
Tip den Gain Regler nur auf 12 Uhr Stellung und nicht weiter Drehen sonst Kommt es zum Rauschen.
allem in allem ist dies eine Super Kombi und ich bin mit dem Mischpult sehr zufrieden.
Nachtrag 07.01.16
nachdem mein Mischpult ein dauer rauschen seit einem Monat durch ein defektes Bauteil hatte und ich es dann in die Garantie gesendet habe (ganz ohne Problem) und nach einer Woche wiederbekommen habe ist das Mischpult noch rauscharmer als es jemals Vorher war zurck gekommen d.h. wahrscheinlich das ein bestimmtes Bauteil defekt sein wird standardmig. im bericht stand als Bezeichnung C99 seitdem klappt auch der COMP-Regler richtig (vorher mit zum Rauschen gefhrt). und verhindert ein Rckkopplungston.
I already have the 5 channel version of this mixer hooked up to my PC, but the phantom power on that one is insufficient for the microphone, which requires the full 48 volts. So I bought this one, which works fantastically. Very easy setup with Windows 8 – no driver to download – it just installs as a USB Audio Codec. I think there is some special Behringer software that you can download but we haven’t found a need for that yet.
For simple PC audio purposes, recording great quality audio, and getting sound out to headphones, it is very convenient compared to faffing around round the back of the PC. The facilities for plugging in s couple of instruments or other audio sources are there for when needed, and all in a compact unit to sit on the desk.
The only tiny issue I can think of is the lack of a power switch but apart from that, excellent!
Works as advertised, quiet noise floor
Cons –
need rubber feed so it does not slide around
need power switch .. stays on all the time .. this makes no sense
Seems solid and well made, lacks an on/off power switch, would benefit from rubber feet to isolate and stabilise it. There is a slight hum on certain settings but all things considered a good compact mixer benefitting from USB compatibility and a very fair price.
Its cheap and works perfectly with any mic, seriously it deserves 5 stars! If you want to record by yourself this is perfect for you!
