Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • Absolutely love the built in compression and the fact that it doubles as an audio interface for the computer
  • why.. but any the quality is well built and the best part of this mixer is usb and had a +48v phantom power to power up any condenser
  • It has a durable build to it that has withstood several "opps moments" that I have had with it
  • don’t regret owning the others, but having USB built in is a HUGE help and space saver
  • I like the built-in compression on the first two channels.

Reviews around price (4.56 of 5)

  • This is a nice tool, and like other Behringer products, the price is right.
  • but I thought I would give it a try because it seemed to be a good price and size for what I needed.
  • If you are tight on budget! great mixer for a good price! buy it!
  • I have used this only a few times since purchasing but this mixer is awesome!Great price and high quality, does not feel cheap at all and actually has some weight to it.
  • and it's not a bad price

Reviews around quality (4.37 of 5)

  • My only complaints with this mixer is the build quality, the parts feel cheap and the bottom isn't rubberized so on a slick wooden or glass desk it moves around more than I would like, but at $90 it's something that I will happily overlook
  • The sound quality is really good and the noise floor is low.
  • You shouldn't have to be jigging with the jack to make a connection, that's poor quality parts and workmanship.
  • Works great used this to replace the power supply of a NW-700 mic and now have good quality mic
  • I don't know if it's poor design or poor quality control, somewhere along the line, but it's killing this machine.

Reviews around use (4.16 of 5)

  • So when you want to record successive tracks, the input of the new track is delayed in the headphones compared to the old track(s)
  • That makes this decidedly specialized for recording, not gigging, although one could make good use of it as a secondary mixer or monitor mixer or something
  • Our live sound use of the mixer was clear and clean as we fed audio from the PC into the USB input mixed with audio from the pastor's mic.
  • Works great used this to replace the power supply of a NW-700 mic and now have good quality mic
  • EAsy to use, haven't messed with the interface, just live use and tape recording.

Reviews around interface (4.16 of 5)

  • but the interface has a noisy hiss by default regardless of what is plugged into the rest of the mixer and even if every knob is turned all the way down
  • Instead buy a similarly priced and significantly better A/D interface, (Behringer UMC 202HD, UMC 404HD or Focusrite Scarlet 2i2) and eq. digitally
  • Easy to set up, lightweight, simple interface, compatible with Audacity software.
  • The USB interface for recording works great, however, when you use the USB to headphones button, it mutes the other inputs
  • No need to find and spend another $100+ on a decent interface, because with the USB, it goes straight to the computer, just adjust your output audio setting on your computer (if it doesn’t automatically) and you

Reviews around sound (3.86 of 5)

  • I small price to pay to have so much better quality sound than with a USB chat headset.4
  • You have to pull upward while turning to avoid the majority of the audio quality issues while adjusting volume, and certain points on the knob now disable sound all-together
  • have great sound and the USb feature works like a charm.
  • When I connected the mixer for the first time I taught it was defective because it was producing an extremely annoying buzzing sound
  • So when you want to record successive tracks, the input of the new track is delayed in the headphones compared to the old track(s)

Reviews around setup (3.75 of 5)

  • and I believe it is the lowest cost mixer that can be setup for mix-minus (great for Skype interviews, where the caller doesn't hear their own voice echoing).
  • and i would recommend this as a great starter setup for anyone
  • So when you want to record successive tracks, the input of the new track is delayed in the headphones compared to the old track(s)
  • It's a simple, easy setup to install the USB extension of the mixer to your laptop and the adapter end you plug into your wall
  • The narrow base means you won't be able to fully extend the boom with a microphone on it without the setup wanting to topple over and the boom arm adjustable knob broke the first time I used it

Reviews around product (3.69 of 5)

  • I'm not sure if maybe they received defective products or the company has changed their designs
  • Great little mixer, I love the usb connection, this is a welcome addition to my sound studio, Absolutely love this product!
  • So I am not writing a negative review because I don't like the company, this is a bad review because this is a bad product
  • I plan on returning this if I can't figure out the issue, it may be a defective product
  • but I love them, they offer great products at an affordable price.

Reviews around usb (3.17 of 5)

  • The USB works fine, although there is no software for this unit, so you are stuck with
  • In the box: Mixer, power adapter and cord, USB cable and an easy to use instruction booklet
  • So when you want to record successive tracks, the input of the new track is delayed in the headphones compared to the old track(s)
  • Knowing about the cheaper non-USB version in retrospect, I probably would have purchased that one instead
  • The usb to computer is fantastic and cuts out on interference I sometimes see when using the analog line in on the motherboard.

Reviews around tool (3.09 of 5)

  • Works great as a tool to bring my entire band right into people's headphones
  • The pre-amps are killer, this is an amazing tool for the home studio...very responsive and studio quality performance for under a hundred bucks...five stars
  • Found a Youtube solution running RCA cables to the 2-track I/O's and punching in To Phones/Control RM .

Reviews around thing (3.03 of 5)

  • Little confusing to set up, but once it's all said and done, this thing is fantastic
  • - the only thing I don't like about the mixer is the lack of power switch
  • Thing was working great for a year, had it hooked up to my monitors and subwoofer untouched, and then out of nowhere one of the master outs stopped working
  • This thing has this hissing noise in the sound that just would not go away
  • The only good thing that I can say about this mixer is that mine has been quiet, there has never been any hiss or hum.

Reviews around microphone (2.91 of 5)

  • Found a Youtube solution running RCA cables to the 2-track I/O's and punching in To Phones/Control RM .
  • With those microphones a Audio-Technical AT8410A microphone shock mount will still do nicely
  • Coupled with the Sennheiser E835 Dynamic Cardioid Vocal Microphone it does wonders over any other microphone setup I've had.
  • Basically with this mixer and the right microphone and monitors/headphones you can pick up your sound game for well under $300
  • It will isolate your microphone from physical contact sounds or vibrations from the microphone stand or desk that the microphone is on.2

Reviews around background (2.18 of 5)

  • I'm in a small band and we needed a mixer we could use live as well as for home recordings
  • Background hissing noise and loose power plug.
  • I use this primarily for OBS and works as it supposed to
  • Found a Youtube solution running RCA cables to the 2-track I/O's and punching in To Phones/Control RM .
  • Returning this mixer and going with a Yamaha due to horrible background static at any level settings that allow vocals to be heard

Reviews around flaw (1.95 of 5)

  • I use this primarily for OBS and works as it supposed to
  • This is a CRITICAL design flaw, and it renders the unit nearly useless for any task it would be meant for without additional hardware that raises the investment price to near that of a higher-end unit like the ZEDi-8, which doesn't have this problem
  • I'm in a small band and we needed a mixer we could use live as well as for home recordings
  • I'm giving this unit 2 stars because outside of this critical design flaw—which you will only find out about if you contact Behringer about it, I should add—and somehow you don't need this feature, it works well and is sturdy

Reviews around power (1.54 of 5)

  • I read a lot of reviews on here about loose power cables and static in the lines
  • Imagine loosing power from the mixer in the middle of the show
  • He is very happy with it, sound quality and output power are good for this kind of usage
  • The AC cord does NOT fit in properly can slips out easily even at the slightest movement so at any given time, you could lose power because of the cord slipping out of the unit so easily
  • Product came with either a faulty power cable or a faulty plug in for said cable on the actual unit

Reviews around noise (1.28 of 5)

  • I set it up and noticed an awful humming noise coming from the mixer.
  • This thing has this hissing noise in the sound that just would not go away
  • I tried cleaning up the noise, hissing, room echo and everything else, to no avail.
  • There is a noisy 'hiss' on EACH track, which means if you're using all 8 channels it can build up into some pretty awful white noise
  • Behringer products are very affordable - some view them as cheap - but this is a darn functional mixer that does a great job with very good noise floor
