Behringer Xenyx 802
Do you need to lay down a track or record some vocals in a hurry? Do you need a small, compact and capable digital mixer to give you perfect sound quality? If so, the Behringer Xenyx 802 digital mixer is just what you need. It has everything you need, all packed up in 1 little box, giving you a robust sound, multi vocal performance improvements and many other options to record the track that you want.The 802 has some great input options that will not leave you wanting. It features 8 inputs and also has 2 Xenyx microphone pre-amps. The good thing about the 2 mic preams is that they are good enough to use with expensive condenser microphones, as they both give +48v phantom energy. This Behringer also has lots of the effects jacks to allow you to send and receive audio through a multitude of external sound processors, pedals or units. The options are limitless when you have audio of this quality.
Another feature that we found really useful was the RCA inputs for CD or tape. These can be used to make a recording of your overall performance or directed to the control room in the studio. You can switch between local primary mix or directing the output to headphones or the control room.
The Xenyx preampsa re also one of the main selling points of this mixer. Each of the 2 mic channels both have top quality Xenyx preamps to power them. Something that you would normally find in more expensive kit or external preamps.
They feature a 130dB of dynamic range, a bandwidth of between less than 10Hz to well over 200Hz which will ensure you capture the audio perfectly each time, a low noise, distortion free circuit that will give you the best audio signal you have heard for a long time and the Xenyx 802 is perfect for use with almost any mic. Featuring 60 dB of gain and the phantom power we mentioned earler, this little mixer will leave you stunned at the sound quality it produces.
Another of the Behringer Xenyx 802s selling points is that it features British EQ. This means that the internal circuits are based on original mixers and top quality consoles that were made in Britain. Why? Because these kinds of equipment are known for making a warm sound and having lots of character. The 802 gives you all this too. Try turning up the gain on the channels and see what happens. You still get great sounding audio.
Behringer have also gone a long way to make this digital mixer portable and easy to carry around. It only weighs a meagre 2.2 pounds, making it perfect to carry with you to small gigs and venues. If you want top quality sound, even in smaller places, then the Xenyx 802 is the mixer you need. It is perfect for small bars and clubs and can even be used for karaoke too.
