Thanks for the time in doing this review very informative and most helpful for setting up the different wires thanks
I have had a lot of experience with the Allen and Heath mixers and you cant go wrong with them especially the Zed series. I have a Zed 28 and it works like a charm... The only down side is the cost. :)
Thanks for audio test these apparature!Good job
Thank you for a good review. I took a long time to find your in depth video. Thanks again.
sweet just the video i needed, to see i'm gonna give that a shot and see how my setup turns out
Just seeing this. Great video. Answered some questions about dj set up for me. Thinking about getting into djing. This really helped me out, and confirmed what I asked about on amazon and got answered about using channels 3/4 or 5/6 for my laptop. Was also curious about the speaker inputs, but I see where they go now. Thanks.
Thanks for your review, it has helped a noob understand this piece of kit a bit better. Seems like a nifty piece of kit for the price.
Hi great little setup you have there… bought the same mixer only having a noise issue on the usb input from my iPad please do you have any advice on how to resolve this problem… thanks
Thanks bro this video really helped me out!
Thanks for this! I just bought it and your video is 100x better than the instructions!
I bought mine about 2 years ago and I struggled to get decent sound, because it has crappy preamps. I recently replaced it with a Mackie 402VLZ4 and now get much better recordings. The Mackie even has a mains on/off switch.
I love these things. I have ~5 of them sitting around. Awesome mixer for random things.
have the same but my main mix input leds doesn't light up. i connectet it with the x32 wich already clipped but theese leds are still off :D
I bought it if i need only 3 mics etc..^^
when you're going out from your computer, are you putting the 1/8" jack into the headphone jack, then, using unbalanced 1/4" RCA adaptors into a channel on the mixer? I'm trying to figure out if one of my cables are suspect, or if I actually need to get unbalanced 1/4" adaptors... You're help is appreciated! Thanks!
Channel 1 and 2 I can connect the corded microphone but where do I connect the mixer to the numark? Please help
I just bought one of these from my bass player you can use this with p.a. speakers for 2 mics right? He told me you needed a preamp but the site says the 2 xlr inputs are preamped, and phantom powered obviously.
i got a question about volume control/settings.. my pc is also connected to channels 5/6 and my studio monitors to main out but what is the correct order for the volume? Cause there is the windows volume mixer, the channel 5/6 volume and the main mix volume. My studio monitors are set halfway , should the channel 5/6 volume be at max and the main mix halfway and controlling the volume using windows only or?
So the main outs are going to your speakers.....
Do you connect it directly as 1/4's or did you bought a XLR to 1/4 so that you can plug it to the speakers?
ok - still reviewing this before final purchase and ran some tests on my digital studio today - with this mixer you can run the main outs into your Computer studio line in and run the studio monitors off your Computer studio main out - this allows you to use the mixer as a junction box so you can record any mixer input live into Adobe Soundbooth, while playing the studio track you're working from. You can then save the .wav file and load it up as a channel or sample into your digital studio. With live recordings no matter how tight and accurate digital files / samples do start to drift slightly after about 30 seconds, so best to splice the recording into 30 second pieces, easy enough to sound continuous and you can additional post production FX in the studio software.
Good content man. How did you get a reverb on your mic? Is there a special settings on the mixer other than the fx knob? For some reason I don’t get a reverb on mine. I wanted to do live streaming and or recording. Thank you
yes, you can turn the volume up and down i use this to run my radio station with this it's down to how you set the leads up for it.
Hi, which one will be the best way to plug this into a DSLR? I mean
Taking the audio from the main output, the headphones output, the tape output or the USB output? Thanks.
could i connect my mixtrack to this mixer, then have cables run from this mixer to my speakers?
Can the main out on the mixer be used to send Mic signal to computer for recording ? if i use an a 1/4 to 3.5 adapter ?
Got same mixer but have a very slight delay through mic any idea how I fix this
If i connect xenyx to a sound card ( audient id 4) and connect active monitors to it is it going to change the quality of the sound. Speakers are now connected directly to sound card..
nice thanks for the review i bought one of craigslist for 20 dollars with no power ac it was a pain in the ass to get a new one i took one month because they wernt in stock anywhere and i found one on amazon and bought it it looks like a good mixer
yeah you can, that's how I ran my system at first. I ran my mixtrack into it, plus 2 mics and my ipod for backup.
you got an awesome setup bruv....
Hi, Joe really helpful cleared up some questions. definitely subscribed :-) One additional where would you go next, ie do you have a recommendation for an upgrade which would have a few extra options without breaking the back? I have a couple of these a spare/backups but they're so easy I'm using them more than main mixers :-)
I was looking into getting this, but I have a couple of questions. Do I need an interface for this? I'm on a really tight budget and this is cheap as hell so I was wondering if this is able to be plugged into my PC for recording? I also have a quarter inch to USB, is that any help?
I can't get audio to record to Garageband, what am I doing wrong. Everything is set but audio never picks up.
Do you know the maximum channels with which you can record when using an interface? I know the interface has a limited number but I mean can you use more than just the 2 xlr inputs since there are 4 usable 1/4" inputs for instruments etc.
it is necessary to connect to power source or through the usb to computer it can work
Would this work with a laptop DJ aux out straight to the speakers
You must be LOADED !
wish i had some equiptment !
Can I use this mixer to record my voice when I sing and have the background music in karaoke? I want to record my singing.
I have exactly the same unit and I have a xlr cabled microphone and phono jack microphone, like yours, how do I balance the output of both without feedback?
So if i'd connect my record player to this thing, i can't EQ it or change the volume? :O
How do you connect up the audio mixer to a laptop without a USB connection. I have an audio interface and 802. All I want to do is connect this to mixer to use with Zoom or TEAMS microsoft for meetings.
Also, At some point I want to start recording music.... vocals and guitar. How do you think this mixer (Behringer 802) compares with the SubZero SZ-mix04? Which would you choose? Thank you Joe. I need help with this area as I'm a beginner!! Thank you
Do we have that eco voice effect on the mic?Or we need another device to have it?
0:42 - Did you say instructions, or destructions?
Also I have one more question what is a good but cheap CD player I could hook up to the mixer
For me one of the biggest issues on the cheap Xenyx mixers are the volume pots. They start making crackling noises real fast and the balance tends to shift around slightly when changing the volume. I would recommend geting a slightly higher quality mixer, maybe with faders instead of knobs.
how can you guess which one is "a slightly higher quality mixer" that is not making crackling noises after a while?
yeaa struggling with it rn, weirdly i didnt had that issue before but i got a new pc and now everything is messed up somehow .-:
so this is considered a power mixer right?
with this mixer i would have to connect to passive speakers, right?
one last question, to use microphone for audio broadcast/podcasting, I would need a Audio Interface correct?
its a beautiful setup you got goin, how do you link it into the mac, like is there an audio input on it?
Great Setup.. But for some reason everyones Videos are for doing live broadcast at a gym or bar. I bought the Xenyx 802 to run my internet radio show.. so thanks for your video.
what does a mixer do? does this override my audio interface? is there a way I can connect a 2 channel preamp, audio interface and mixer without any hardship??
cheers!
that is very nice. I have question is that RCA out can go to receiver I have yamaha A820. Thanks
I got that exactly same mixer, it work great!
as i dj i dont have something to connect mixer to pc.. so can i use that thing with my vmx300 mixer and use it with virtual dj program ?
I have this mixer and a mac book pro, but i can't find a driver. The downloads on the Behringer website aren't clear and I can't get any of them to work. Any thoughts?
I own a 802USB with Mac mini and JBL 104 monitors and c1 Condenser mic..Works well...Thanks learn a lot
i have the usb version of this mixer , but when i press the button to rout the sound to controlroom and headphones sound is still coming from the main output :/
I am sorry for being anoying but last question I need to hook up the mixer to my pc to get music and singing by a Mic that is hooked up in the mixer so to record the mixer should be again connected to the pc from the input can that happen with an unpowered mixer?
I know this video was posted nearly a year ago, but I'm using this mixer and I'm looking to do multi track recording.
Do you know if I purchased the external firewire interface will this allow multitrack recording for garageband?
thank you very much Joe 😉👍🏾
Can the channel 3/4 and channel 5/6 be used for instruments?
Hi there! could you tell me the cables that i need to use this mixer? it's the first time i'm using it... i really don't know anything about this xp could y help me? thanks!
What would be the best setting for podcasting radio show
thank you for the good video, you saved me from buying the wrong cables
Can we connect 4 mikes ..two apart from mic jac..in line4,5
Wondering if this will work ok with MS16 personal monitors?
would it be possible to connect this mixer to an active speaker like "the box MA8" one?
Thnx for the quick answer and I have another question if I bought a powered mixer can I do everything you did in the video withou using a amp right???
so i'm not familiar with this yet, but would you happen to know how you would hook up some monitors and guitars up this mixer, i'm jsut curious cuz i'm in a band and we are having trouble with hearing eachother at our live shows, would this fix that? and could i possibly have this hooked up so i could hear the guitars and vocals together, in a show?
Would Your recommend this mixer and is it ok if im using it a dj gigs
Just to mix my controller and ipod etc. Because the kontrol s2 has no aux in.
Will it work ok doing dj work or is this really only a stage mixer?
I'd be interested in the Mixtrack Pro question as well. I recently picked one up and am thinking of upgrading my passive speakers to Active speakers, so my current Behringer powered mixing desk will presumably be redundant. I sometimes do karaoke, so I need the microphone inputs, so I'll be looking for a small mixer like this one :-)
Thanks. Rob.
Hey, how do i connect this with a Mixtrack pro with 2x Behringer B215d powered speakers running virtual dj or serato intro???? PLEASE REPLY BRO!
i want to hook up also a powered sub.Where do i put it?
can you hook this up to the alesis sr16. if I'm saying something dumb I'm sorry I'm a noob I just started yesterday
When I send the signal to my headphones, I can only get sound out of my left ear. Is there something I am totally missing?
Check your pan make sure its centered
does the Behringer 302USB have phantom power? Im going to be getting a MXL 3000 microphone, and I want a preamp for about 60 bucks or under with at least 1 XLR in, and a USB interface to my computer...It needs phantom power, any recommendations?
My drummer needs to listen a click track and a keyboard sequence on his phones, I already have the track panneled left and right with the click and sequence, how do I resolve the other stuff??
I can make he listens the click and the sequence goes to my P.A. but he wants the click AND the sequence on his phones, and that the sequence goes to the P.A. so the band can hear it too, any ideas? send me a PM.
hey i have a MacBook and Numark does that work with my mac and numark ? because i saw this mixer in amazon it is chip
I was thinking of buying this, but how do I get sound from the interface into my macbook pro?
can this mixer used with 300w peavey eurosys speakers?
***** if you use the phones jack via 3.5 to 1/4 inch adaptor you can monitor your cd playback with the phone/ctrl room volume button.
I just need it for my XLR mic, im new to all this...so would I get power to it?
I really was interested in this mixer but I could not find the real dimensions of it is there anyway you can give me the actual dimensions of the mixer as opposed to the box that it comes in? space on my mixing Studio board that I created is limited so I need to make sure this will fit. there was also a proslogan model very similar to this with facts I was curious as to what you thought about that?
good video and thank you for the time
Can you use these for speaker monitors
This might be a silly question, but I'll ask anyway. I just bought this mixer and I have a audio technica usb mic. Is there any way of using these two together? Will they in any way compliment each other?
Hi , I am India and want to get this product shipped but the voltage issue is giving me some concerns here the supply is 220 Volts . but in US its 110 Volts . Could you please help and suggest ?
hey im considering buying one of these and i could really use help.
Im looking to buy one to use in my studio, so that i can plug 1-3 computers into it, and maybe some synths or stuff, and have the inputs play through 2-3 different pairs of speakers. Is this something any of the mixers in the Xenyx line can do, are there any mixers that will let me use multiple computer inputs (computer to interface to mixer) and multiple (at least 3) outputs for pairs of monitors (also a headphone jack maybe)
Can you link where you got all the jack to xlrs please
What jack did you use to get a head phone port?
you dont need a amp for the computer? can i just connect it directly speaker to mixer to computer without amp it wont burn it? thanks.
i never understand what type of amp do you need can you use a guitare amp
I could listen to you talk about gear all day bro. I wish you could do some work for Behringer or Allen and Heath, just talking about gear in your house. I'd love it. :-)
i got m-audio interface, can i hook this up wid interface nd use it wid pro tools??
What program are you using with the Soundcard
Does anyone else have an issue with the panning knob for the XLR mics? Using the panning only changes the volume (no volume when turned full to the left, and full volume when turned fully to the right), rather changing where the input goes into the stereo output.
yes i also have this problem, i think its something to do with the actual product as because this is a really rushed piece of kit there are alot of these that either just dont work have strange noise problems and some of the knobs dont do what they are meant to do, i personally have an issue with the panning knob and also strange noise artifacts..
@@efensiemusic The signal going to the main outs actually work as expected from the panning knob, as I have a cable that coverts two TS 1/4" connectors to one stereo TRS 1/8" plug and I tested the AC voltage levels using a multimeter. I think the problem for me is that I am using the microphone jack on my computer, and those jacks are usually mono, so wierd things happen. So the good news is it's probably not the mixer. What I'll try and do is buy an external USB sound card with a line in stereo jack. Then the stereo should work properly.
@@efensiemusic As for noise maybe it's the room ambience, because I have a condenser microphone and even though it is cardiod, it picks up my laptop fan noise and especially the ventilation return when the AC is on. It could also be electrical noise getting into the mixer or the lines.
I'm thinking of dampening the noise from the vent with car noise dampening stick ons and installing a drywall, which is missing on the side of the room with the return.
Other than that, a noise gate pedal or a multi-effects pedal with a noise gate might be good for live noise reduction, albeit it only gates out the background noise when you are not talking but allows it through when you talk and turn on the gate. Or I can just turn off the AC whenever recording.
Or, if I am recording, I can do a noise reduction audio effect on the recorded file, and that should be good enough. Maybe follow that up with a software noise gate if there's still noise. Adobe Premiere Pro has an adaptive noise filter which by itself does a very good job actually for background noises that are not too loud or intermittent.
Are you able to use it with a dj intro such as serato or virtual dj ???
How do you conneted computer with mixer?
If i record vocals.the first track only come but the second track doesnt com
Hi I'm starting in the live sound business and what are the microphones called that u hook up to the mixer? Thanks!!!
One tip for anyone that owns it, if you are using it for live sound, buy a cheap £15 3 channel mixer from maplins, and run that into the mic input, allows a couple more mics, with individual volume controls, and the 2nd mixer dosent need extra power, and it still sounds fine :)
Hi I would like to connect this Behringer xenyx 802 mixer to the computer for broadcasting radio , somebody can help me?
I wanted to use this to record my lofi/garage/surf rock band.
I need to hear wtf lofi garbage surf rock sounds like lmao
i guess Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
Great review!
