I just now realised that I can actually have audio run from my PC to the mixer then out to speakers. Amazing stuff :) Thanks for walking us through. Great video my man!
So glad I found this video. It helped me answer a question I had about how to run my iPad through the mixer. I use a Traktor S2 and a MacBook Pro to DJ weddings. I now have a need to connect my iPad as well and this video was very helpful. Thank you very much! This video was great and I really appreciate it.
Great video setup…. 2 questions: 1. Can this same setup work on an iPad? 2. I am having noise issues when using the usb connection from to iPad to the mixer… any help would be super helpful.. cheers
Hi. Great video. Ive read through the manual and it appears that this mixer only sends a single stereo signal via USB (rather than each track indivdually). Is this the case? If not, how do you record tracks simultaneously and individually via USB?
[Just in case you are still checking] I was trying to get mixer audio to appear in the input of the laptop but as log as the USB/2-Track buttons were engaged to mix was getting returned to the USB port (back to the laptop). So by turning both the buttons off at ruclips.net/video/oQpyTK1z8Ls/видео.html, it seems then the mix audio started to appear in the laptop input port. Right?
I know this is quite an old video but if you're still checking, a quick question: it looks as if you can only use the compressors on tracks one and two. Is that right or can you use the compression on the overall mix? Thanks.
When I input two stereo signals and rotate any of the knobs for one of them, I get lots of noise. Volume, equaliser... have you tried 2 inputs at the same time?
Hi, very good and explaining video! All I still need is the answer on a special purpose-question: Can I play some music from my computer into the mixer and can I connect my electric guitar directly to the mixer too or do I need a guitar amp too? In order to hear the sound from the computer and from my electric guitar on my earphones?
main line out into pc for recording and control room to monitors for playback???And be able to adjust individual volume levels???? is that possibel with this mixer
How would I hook up/need additionally to make three usb rode podcaster USB microphones work and which of the two mixers do you prefer for a first time podcaster...?
I think if you just keep the RCA cables from your laptop into the mixer as the output (through the laptop's headphone jack) to play the computer's audio and change the USB connection as the input, it might help?
Hello! I don’t understand you when describe from where is the extra connector for headphones . Please can you explain me ? I got this mixer on the way to my home and I want to be clear at all. I want to connect it for some synths , I don’t think so I will got problems but I want to be clear at all like I told you . 😅 thanks !!
Tell me if I can use the mic controls on the Behringer XENYX Q802-USB to adjust the sound of my voice via USB to my iMac for live video chatting such as on BLAB? In other words I want to adjust my voice without having to record it first such as a podcast? Please advise?
Can’t get it to where I can hear myself through headphones or get my phone musics to come through the speaker .. only when I play music off of my laptop . ? Any help?
@ApertureAlley When I use this mixer I get a lot of white noise. I am not sure if it is a faulty mixer or what. When I turn on the 48V of phantom power I hear it most. Sounds like an ocean in the mic and its not from a laptop fan or other noise within the room. I've updated the behringer drivers, however, still not working. Is this something you have experienced with yours?
Hello and thank you for your nice video. I use to connect my Korg Krome keyboard into my Bose Compnaion 5 (2.1 system) Aux Input: the 2 1/4 jack keyboard output (for a stereo sound) are converted into a single 3.5mm jack that plugs into the Companion 5 Aux Input. I works nice. The Bose are already connected on my computer via USB connection. Now I would like to connect my DX7 synth (2 output 1/4 jack), my electric guitar (1 output 1/4 jack), and my Yamaha Piagero NPV80 2 keyboard (1 output 1/4 jack) to my Bose 2.1 speakers, the whole IN STEREO, via the entry jack 3.5 mm. Do I need to use a mixer (BEHRINGER XENYX QX1002USB), an audio interface (BEHRINGER UMC404HD), or both of them? Thank you in advance for your answers!
Do you know how I can hear myself and my headphones negative and the PC can capture both times or only the sound on the microphone? But I want to hear myself and the musicians pick up the microphone
Yes my lad. You get a stereo RCA cable and just loop it in the 2-track section. Set up your channel buttons: Phones/Control room pressed DOWN To main mix NOT pressed down This will make your 2track mix routed to your headphones channel so that you can have zero latency monitoring of your direct recording.
Hey thanks for the video! Super useful. I’m trying to use the mixer for FB Live. Want to be able to play a track from the MAC, add my own voice through mic and stream on FB live through an ipad. Problem is - the track from the MAC is never streamed. Only my voice is. What am I doing wrong
Does anybody knows how to improve the audio that you record from the Behringer Q802USB? ‘Cause I've got one but it has some background noise when you're recording
Hi great review! I have scarlett solo audio interface. I just wanna know how can I connect it in this mixer? I wanna buy this but wanna know first if it can connect to my interface. What process and adapter should I use? Can you help me? Thanks! :)
I bought this but can't get audacity to recognize my 2 mics. Didn't install any software, just plugged it in and the device is named USB audio codec. I have that selected in audacity but still nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Charlie Chang I realise this is an old question.. But for anyone else, I had exactly the same problem.. The trick is to go to sounds on your pc, click properties, select record and look for a small box that says Listen... Tick that box.!
d5 is non-stereo, so it will work as mono on one channel, but yes. If you do this, you wont have phantom though, phantom is provided only to first two mono channels. Not like you need phantom on dynamic anyway.
I have a xenyx q802usb .. But sound too noisily to me, i dont know if its a problem or its normal. Could you make a some test with the knobs in the maximo and no input connections?
I reccomend researching the noise floor of your input devices (microphones) since this mixer is actually very quiet. Also look up how to gain stage your mixer.
Go to setting on computer and go to mic volumes. I found turning the volume down on the cumputer and turning down gain on audacity the hiss is reduced a bunch. Not all . Still trying ti figure out a real fix
So i know this is a little old but i would appreciate some help, Right now i have been using this for a while and its great but as a gamer i want to be able to mess with the highs and bass ect. So how can i make it so that way if i say talk in game they cant hear my pc audio but say like my stream could.i have it setup up, just so that way it sends the mic audio to my pc and thats it right now. and my pc uses the on board sound
Holy fucking wire management Nice review though gods info I am coming over from a simple USB mic and wanted to make sure this mixer would get the job done from the XLR of my SM58 to the USB of my PC
I use my iPad/DAW to record my vocals and make my beats/music. Will I be able to use my iPad through the this mixer, using the camera lighting connection? Of course running USB from the mixer to the iPad.
What are you looking to do if you connect the iPad to this mixer? Record? I don't have any experience in trying such a task, but I don't think the mixer will be able to talk to the iPad. I would look into a mixer made for a smart device.
Thank you for your time and response. I did some digging, and Behringer's RUclips page has a video answering my question. I can record vocals into my iPads DAW. Using the USB interface, I would plug into mixer using a usb cord, and at the end of the cord, I would connect an apple camera connector www.apple.com/shop/product/MD821AM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?afid=p238%7Cs3QnnXQT3-dt_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_52243316890_&cid=aos-us-kwg-pla-btb-slid- then plug into iPad. Great way to get the quality sound of an xlr mic, in your digital mobile home studio.
Yes, of course, it is USB audio interface+mixer+preamp with phantom combo. You can receive data from device (xlr or 6.3 mic) through usb to PC. You can send data from PC to device through usb. You can combine both, but its more complicated (search for "how to fix q802usb" on youtube)
Your amp must have a line out output in order to connect to the mixer, although my best recommendation would be to get a dynamic mic and record the amp. Line out are usually not a 100% representation of what you hear in your amp. It's kinda an emulation of your amp, same goes for headphone outputs on amps.
Okay so I got a question. I am thinking about buying an XLR microphone for my PC, possibly the AT2035. I am so confused at the moment, do I need to buy an audio interface like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 AND a mixer to get this new audio setup to work? Basically I want to know if I have to buy the audio interface (Scarlett). Will my new audio setup work with only the mixer and the microphone? Thanks
You do not need both a mixer and the Scarlett. The scarlet will power your mic, control the volume etc so you can just got that and will have no problems.
AlleyRidgeMedia What if I want to mix things from my PC such as Discord and Spotify. I want to put them on separate channels. I am just confused on how I would do that with the Scarlett and the Mixer. Can you explain where the cables would plug in? Please and thank you for the response ^
It would be nice if you or somebody else could tell me, a noob LOL how I can take the left and right channel of a microphone and combine both signals into one Mono line going to my keyboard. Company said that I could accomplish such a thing. Any thoughts Joey
I've tried to plug a microphone in my Q802 and then I've plugged a headphone in the "Phones" out I'm hearing my voice only in one side (left) of my headphone ! Can you help me?
Okay, so anyone! Please help me! I want to record a 2 person podcast! It looks like this device can do that. It’s still not clear to me how though. How do I connect this device to my MacBook?! Please help!!
you skipped right over the reason i came here, the RCA input. I had trouble too. apparently you cant use and equalization with the RCA input? non of the knobs do anything to the sound.
Man this is bad. They are XLR not XR, it's made by Behringer, not bell ringer. Gain and level are not the same. Go away and learn the difference between pre-amp and mixing. I guess receiver = amplifier? Seriously, if you're looking for a review or instructions, find a source that knows what it's talking about, this one definitely does not.
I love my Bell Ringer!
When I go out and buy mixers I go for a bell ringer forget Yamaha bell ringer is the brand to go with. That's hilarious
HAHAHAHAHA Thats what i picked up on too xD
Your Amazon link goes to the non-USB version, just an FYI. Good video, cleared some stuff up for me.
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED thanks to you 3 years ago! XD
Hi, you 1 years ago! XD
THANK YOU! Just picked up an 802USB and have been fighting with it for a few days. :)
why is he adding "L" there are no L in Behringer?
I just now realised that I can actually have audio run from my PC to the mixer then out to speakers. Amazing stuff :) Thanks for walking us through. Great video my man!

We used to do bell ringers in school
Great video, helped us get started.
[Just in case you are still checking] I was trying to get mixer audio to appear in the input of the laptop but as log as the USB/2-Track buttons were engaged to mix was getting returned to the USB port (back to the laptop).

Thank you. That was awesome!!!
My power supply cable is a bit loose it cant g’et all the Way into the plug. What to do
What level should I put my microphone compressor
I know this is quite an old video but if you're still checking, a quick question: it looks as if you can only use the compressors on tracks one and two. Is that right or can you use the compression on the overall mix? Thanks.
he wasn’t checking
When I input two stereo signals and rotate any of the knobs for one of them, I get lots of noise. Volume, equaliser... have you tried 2 inputs at the same time?
Mixers are 10X better than audio interfaces..
Thank you! great job!

Don Hector Salamanca's favourite audio company
Cool set up and operation
Thank you :) this set up is nothing though compared to the radio station setup
hi can you have have 2 track independently using the mixer? one for vocals and one for guitar in daw? im using reaper. thanks
is it okay if i use condenser mic on XLR Input 1 then a dynamic mic on TS Input 2 semultaneously?
Thanks a lot! Now I understand 😃
Brilliant just bought one
Glad to hear! I hope it works out for you!
Awesome help thanks!
Youre the best. Keep it up!
main line out into pc for recording and control room to monitors for playback???And be able to adjust individual volume levels???? is that possibel with this mixer
How would I hook up/need additionally to make three usb rode podcaster
USB microphones work and which of the two mixers do you prefer for a
first time podcaster...?
OMG I thought I heard you wrong the first time, but then you really said Bell Ringer. C'mon dude. There are no L's in the name anywhere.
I think if you just keep the RCA cables from your laptop into the mixer as the output (through the laptop's headphone jack) to play the computer's audio and change the USB connection as the input, it might help?
+Prank Calls it all depends on what you are trying to do. I use the mixer to power my speakers as well as record audio so it gets complicated.
I have a behringer xenyx x1222usb and I keep having a hard time to get the audio working with my pc speakers.
love it you are such a help thxx!!! :) thumbs up
Is it normal for the Behringer mixer to get hot on the bottom?
Hello! I don’t understand you when describe from where is the extra connector for headphones . Please can you explain me ? I got this mixer on the way to my home and I want to be clear at all. I want to connect it for some synths , I don’t think so I will got problems but I want to be clear at all like I told you . 😅 thanks !!
Lose the background music when you're speaking... It's terribly annoying.
Tell me if I can use the mic controls on the Behringer XENYX Q802-USB to adjust the sound of my voice via USB to my iMac for live video chatting such as on BLAB? In other words I want to adjust my voice without having to record it first such as a podcast? Please advise?
Can’t get it to where I can hear myself through headphones or get my phone musics to come through the speaker .. only when I play music off of my laptop . ? Any help?
so can this replace my soundcard
Have you tried using the FX knob for the microphones? What do you get out of it?
@ApertureAlley When I use this mixer I get a lot of white noise. I am not sure if it is a faulty mixer or what. When I turn on the 48V of phantom power I hear it most.

Does anybody knows how to improve the audio that you record from the Behringer Q802USB? ‘Cause I've got one but it has some background noise when you're recording
Hi great review! I have scarlett solo audio interface. I just wanna know how can I connect it in this mixer? I wanna buy this but wanna know first if it can connect to my interface. What process and adapter should I use? Can you help me? Thanks! :)
It's pronounced bear-in-jer.
I apologize for my mispronunciation
Yeah ... I noticed that right off the bat.
I heard that too...
great job guys he made a mistake
LOOOOOOOOL HE IS BEH-RINGER ITS Bear-in-jer HAHAHAHHAHA L000000000000000000000000000000000L
I bought this but can't get audacity to recognize my 2 mics. Didn't install any software, just plugged it in and the device is named USB audio codec. I have that selected in audacity but still nothing. What am I doing wrong?

so do i still need a pre amp if i have this
So i know this is a little old but i would appreciate some help, Right now i have been using this for a while and its great but as a gamer i want to be able to mess with the highs and bass ect. So how can i make it so that way if i say talk in game they cant hear my pc audio but say like my stream could.i have it setup up, just so that way it sends the mic audio to my pc and thats it right now. and my pc uses the on board sound
are there no faders? I wanna make effects fade in and out, any tips?
get a 1202FX
Coffee Shop Productions home recordings usually do it in post production.
Yes, there are, those knobs right on the bottom are level controls (not gain !) i.e. faders ! They just don't have sliders as in larger mixers.
It's not a bell ringer. It's pronounced Bear - in - jer
do you live at freddy's pizza palace?
I know this video is like 5 years old, but
Bell Ringer?! 🤦 Really...
Germany is pissed dude lol
Apart from that, decent video.
How many microphones can I use in it?
Holy fucking wire management

Great way to get the quality sound of an xlr mic, in your digital mobile home studio.
i love your videos....
Thank you
4:28 for those setting it up at home
@SuperStruct thank you Jesus christ
can i use this mixer to record a audio,,, like a usb audio imterface ??
Daffa Yaudah This device does not accept USB inputs.
Yes, of course, it is USB audio interface+mixer+preamp with phantom combo. You can receive data from device (xlr or 6.3 mic) through usb to PC. You can send data from PC to device through usb. You can combine both, but its more complicated (search for "how to fix q802usb" on youtube)
So in a computer, this is recognised as one device? I thought every channel will be recognised as one source, in a PC.
CAN YOU DO A LIVE CALL??????
am I the only one experiencing static sounds? the focusrite imo sounds alot clearer
Can I plug this mixer to guitar amp?
Can you explain how
Thank you
Your amp must have a line out output in order to connect to the mixer, although my best recommendation would be to get a dynamic mic and record the amp. Line out are usually not a 100% representation of what you hear in your amp. It's kinda an emulation of your amp, same goes for headphone outputs on amps.
My Q802USB Mixer have high temperatures in the back. Is this normal?
Fábio Bittencourt accoding to the manual is normal, look it up.
Okay so I got a question. I am thinking about buying an XLR microphone for my PC, possibly the AT2035.

I'm hearing my voice only in one side (left) of my headphone ! Can you help me?
buy a mono y cable and input one in line one and another in line 2
You probably plugged it into the L input, plug it into R
Okay, so anyone! Please help me! I want to record a 2 person podcast! It looks like this device can do that. It’s still not clear to me how though. How do I connect this device to my MacBook?! Please help!!
buy a windows laptop 😉
Hello mate i have some questions about can you help me? where i can send you a diagram pic?
+Evolutionradio TV check out my RUclips channel description. I have an email there to contact me on

Erik@aperturealley.us
Great video thanks man! Only negative is you gotta learn how to pronounce “Behringer” 😅
Is pronounce Behringer not bell ringer
it's preamp is of no use ... I haven't checked 302usb but if someone can compare pls do comment
I get motion sickness cause of the camera...
you skipped right over the reason i came here, the RCA input. I had trouble too. apparently you cant use and equalization with the RCA input? non of the knobs do anything to the sound.
9:59 LOL What...?
🤣😂🤣😂
Uploaded on my birthday
i disliked because you called it a bell ringer

haha this is entertaining ..makes sense tho :)
Bell ringer 🤦♂️😅
So many wires .-.
There faders not sliders
