BehringerXENYX 802S Premium Analog 8-Input Mixer with USB Streaming Interface

I like this little mixer a lot. I had the predecessor for several years before it developed a buzz in the microphone inputs after a thunderstorm. This one's a little different, and I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I actually like it more for one reason: monitoring. It's designed to be able to monitor the USB input and the regular inputs simultaneously, with separate controls for main and monitor. The previous version was an either-or. I've owned a lot of Behringer gear, and it's good for the money...often with features I wish other brands would consider including.I'm a video editor, not a podcaster, but I use this mixer as a monitor. I have multiple sources, including my computer, TV, video equipment rack, and mobile devices connected to it. It feeds speakers from the main output and headphones from the phones output. Just what I needed.

This is my second unit, instead of taking with me out of the states, I bought another one to have 1 in my house in Mexico and 1 at my apartment in California. Hooked up to desktop and 2 laptops including my T.V and are able to control all the sound out of this unit. Sound quality is good and easy to adjust base and treble. It brings out the best out of my receiver. 2 mics is perfect for 2 of us on Facebook Live.

This is a really solid, useful mixer. Great hookups for a multi-track recorder. Nice small size for solo act or small band. I’ve had a 12 channel version of the same for 15 years and it still works perfectly.

I've been using the Behringer Xenyx 802S, with USB audio output, for over a year. It works like a champ, every time.I'm the producer for the live streaming of sports & events at our local HS. We have automated cameras that follow the action, and the video feed comes in over the internet connection, so I use OBS Studio to produce the video. I connect the mixer's USB audio output right into the USB port on the PC, and combine it with the video stream in OBS. I can always count on great audio thanks to this mixer. It gets carried around & set up & torn down a lot, but it can take it. It never lets me down.

Nice little mixer and decent quality for the money. Fit my application for guitar effects mixing. Not ultra quiet but does the job here. Small footprint helpful for limited space.

...I got this to replace my Behringer Xenyx 502 5 channel mixer which after nearly 14 years of faithfull service finally couldn't take it anymore and passed on to the great mixing room in the sky. Couldn't find another 502 so I opted to get another couple of channels so I wouldn't have to swap instruments out as you really only have half the channels stated. The mic channels are single channels everything else is shared (ie,. channel 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) so in essense you have 5 channels (2 mic and 3 shared) which is the same thing I had on the 502 (1 mic, 2 shared) so if you're looking for 8 individual channels well you'll need to spend a lot more money to get it, other than that this thing works great...

Sometimes you need a simple mixer that does the job. In the era of field recorders, maybe you want more inputs for recording drums at home and don't want to buy a whole new recorder just for drums. That's easy with a mixer added to it. This is a great way to add a bunch of clean inputs to an existing setup, or adding the control you are missing over a bunch of existing inputs you'd like all in one place. Or you are sick of clicking a mouse on a graphic of a button and you want real ones. Or you want to simplify workflow and combine 4 stereo channels on one input. This is great for managing multiple samplers but recording them all on the same track. Panning one one way, and one another, etc. It's good to have one of these in the toolbox in case you need it. They make a smaller one that's great also.

Loving this unit! I use it in my ham shack with a Heil mic into my FT-710!
