I bought this mixer based on my past experiences with Behringer who offer great quality at an affordable price. Quality-wise a huge weak point is the power supply coupling at the mixer side, pay extra attention when plugging and removing the power supply so as not to strain the solder connections on the board. Compared to the plain 802 whose price is a steal this one also offers compressors on the mic channels and a USB interface.Īnd actually if you factor in the Stereo Aux/FX return you actually have 10 channels. TBH I would gladly have paid an extra 10-12Euros for a QX802USB that would have had FX, Low cut switch and master fader as the QX1002/1202īut what mattered to me most and what makes this mixer stand out from the rest of the Behringer line is the fact that this is the only mixer at this price point (along with the plain 802) that offers 3band EQs on the stereo channels as well. The above features would have made this a killer product BUT at a much higher price. USB/2-track is single directional (either input or output your choice) No on/off switch or integrated power supply Would recommend this to noobs and people looking for cheap alternative to having more inputs.

Not very stable on a table top setup, must be fixated using creativity/other equipment Perfect amount of inputs (2 mic/line and 2 stereo/mono inputs) capable of accommodating 4 instruments of all kinds. I haven't used it via USB so i'm not sure if it supports multi-mix for your DAW via individual channels. Sad that they did not think of this when making it.Īll in all a great bang for the buck, if you're looking for extra inputs to your 2i2 setup (like i was) to plug a little more instruments and jam at the same time. This can be solved easily with velcro or rubber stoppers stuck to it. This was a little annoying when someone accidentally stretches the cable plugged in, if not taken to account, it will easily slide over. The first downside i found was that is does not have rubber fits on the bottom for grip on your table top. The mic channels also have a compressor, not great but definitely useful when jamming with multiple instruments. It does offer USB connectivity if you would like to use it as a sound card itself. It's compact size is awesome for fitting it in your backpack and going for jam sessions, the size does come at a cost though, instead of faders for the channels you have level knobs which is okay but a little less accurate that faders.

It does offer 48v phantom power, which is rare in the price category. The mic preamps seem fine for what you pay for, i still would rather use my sound card when recording. I'v had this mixer a few days in already, i have it connected to my sound card via stereo (irrelevant: my sound card is also Behringer, the 204HD model).įirst thing i want to highlight is don't expect to compare this to mixers in the 400-500? range, it's a cheap product for beginners/intermediate users.
