- The Behringer Xenyx 802 is a compact mixer that aims to serve the needs of solo artists, podcasters, and small ensembles. With its straightforward interface and solid build, the 802 offers the core functionalities expected from a small mixer at an affordable price point. Here’s a detailed review:
Build Quality:
The chassis of the 802 feels sturdy, which is a pleasant surprise given its price bracket. The knobs have a satisfying resistance to them, offering precise control without feeling flimsy.
Features:
Channels: The 802 boasts 2 mic preamps with phantom power, which is great for condenser mics. There are also 3-band EQs on these channels, which are responsive and musical.
Connectivity: The mixer provides a variety of input/output options including XLR, 1/4" jacks, and RCA connectors, making it versatile for different setups.
Effects: While the 802 doesn't come with built-in effects, the aux send feature allows you to connect external effects units, which is a nice touch for expandability.
Performance:
Preamps: The Xenyx mic preamps are surprisingly clear and offer a warm sound without noticeable noise at normal gain settings.
EQs: The EQs provide enough shaping power to correct room anomalies or enhance particular frequencies.
Headroom: The mixer has sufficient headroom for moderate-level mixing without distortion, which is essential for live settings.
Ease of Use:
For beginners, the 802’s layout is intuitive, with each channel strip clearly labeled and logically arranged. This design minimizes the learning curve and allows for quick adjustments on the fly.
Value:
Considering its features and performance, the Behringer 802 offers great value for money. It's an excellent choice for those who need a basic mixer without the frills of digital effects or USB connectivity.
Final thoughts:
The Behringer Xenyx 802 is a solid choice for those on a budget who need a reliable mixer for simple setups. While it won’t compete with high-end boards on features or finesse, it delivers where it counts, making it a staple for beginners and seasoned users looking for a compact solution.

Funny there was an echo the beginning BUT this was a good and efficient video. Thanks!
That was helpful, amigo. Thinking about buying one of these for a friend who wants to do some podcasting and it looks like this will fit the bill. It's always a pleasure for me to find others out there with a passion for making music and who try to share it with others.
Hi James , a very helpful review. Thank you !
Would you please explain how you conect Focusrite Solo and give an example how STREAM TO MONITOR AND STREAM TO MIX work in live situation ? Also I am completely stuck trying to set up Fx Send and Return ...
Many thanks again !!!
love this review. can you connect it to your computer without using the focusrite?
Hi James. Why do you connect the mixer to the audio interface instead of using the mixer USB to go direct to computer. Thanks
Nice video, do you know what the difference is between the 802 USB model and the 802 S?
Hello how you use fx?
Hmmmm...audio advice from someone who can't make an echo-free recording. Pass...
