Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer

With the right cables this is a very versatile tool and is helping me massively with practising my guitar playing. its a well made, solid little mixer and well worth the price for my little set-up, I use it with a Strat into a old Korg A5 effects board and usually thru headphones when practising but is just as good thru my Fender amp, plus I input from a laptop and record from the mixer output all at the same time. Wish I had bought one years ago. Even room for my pal to plug in and jam along, great fun.

I bought this to allow me to mix audio from my phone with the output of my guitar amp. I mix them into headphones to allow me to practie guitar without lifting the roof off the house. It does this perfectly. The build qulaity is excellent and the sound is the best I have heard.I highly recommend this mixer to anyone wanting to practice guitar without upsetting others in the house or the neighbours.

First of all I would like to state the usage scenario for this. I use it at my desk to balance music from my phone whilst playing a game. It is also useful for a very small scenario with 1 mic, 1 aux, and 1 amplifier. This product is really not suited for anything larger than that. If you are looking for a DJ desk or for a small venue I would recommend the larger 802 or 1202 mixers from Behringer.With that in mind I would say that the mixer is very good for the price. The build quality is very good, and all of the knobs feel very long-lasting, as well as the female ports. I was sad to see no option for XLR output, which made it slightly more difficult to use with an active speaker such as JBL Eon.The product is also very compact, meaning I can give it some of the precious real estate on my desk. I have to say the best feature is the warm EQ that the mixer gives the sound, making it sound slightly better through my headphones, and taking some of the harsh rings off when playing very loudly, although this is personal preference.

Super cheap and really does do the trick. I use it for in-ear monitoring on gigs - I get the monitor mix from the sound man via XLR and mix that with a metronome on my phone plugged into one of the jack slots. Plug headphones in, get the levels right in my ears and ready to go. I'm sure it works a treat as a mixer for performance (i.e. plugged into PA on output) though not needed it for this. Sound quality is great. Only slight issue is it doesn't turn off - you have to unplug it from power. It gets a little hot towards the end of a gig put apart from this it works a treat and would definitely recommend.

Works for me

This mixer is awesome,I have been DJing professionally for forty years,and I have used many high end mixers and this is as good & even better than some!I use this now, in conjunction with my DJ controller (DJ controller has a poor sounding mic input) plug controller into this & my mic and it works a treat!I've used it in a very busy mid sized and also, a very large venue and it holds its own perfectly!The build quality is very good,The connectivity is good for a mixer at this price,The sound is excellent, rich bass with crisp top end!This mixer is as good as some that are at a much much higher price than this!This mixer was recommended to me a musician friend who also loves it.As for some reviews that say there is noise, hum etc from the mixer, I've not experienced that & it sounds perfect.And others have said the power plug can come loose! Mine fits in solidly so no issues with that either! Maybe Bheringer have listened & sorted this out?I may be wrong, but the poor reviews could be caused by users that have not connected it up properly, and/or used inferior cables!All in all if Used correctly you will struggle to find a better mixer at this price!If you google “best compact audio mixers 2018”You will notice that this mixer comes out Top!

Does the job, really good quality switches and controls. It is much smaller than it looks in the photos, so bear that in mind, but that's not an issue for me at all. This allows me to have finer control over my various audio sources, and it does it at a good price. You may want to consider the 802 with slightly more connections etc. as this one is very basic. Nevertheless a great product.

Fortunately, it's only for a bit of messing around with, taking its input from a Mic, and from the TV audio, with the output being fed into the MP3 socket on my amp. It introduces a lot of hum to an amp that is silent on all other inputs. Plugging in the Mic (don't know whether to blame the amp or the Mic — to be fair I think it's the mic) the sound breaks up. I know how to adjust gain etc. But the hum is there even without the mic, and the same source, fed straight into the amp, does not hum at all. Still it's OK for a little home karaoke.
