Xenyx Q802USB : The most complete of all the Q(X)xx02 range

6 years ago

Let's get the cons out first.

No on/off switch or integrated power supply

USB/2-track is single directional (either input or output your choice)

No low cut on the mic channels

Very few level indicators

No PFL

No XLR outputs

No integrated FX

No levels on the USB/2-track

The above features would have made this a killer product BUT at a much higher price. TBH I would gladly have paid an extra 10-12Euros for a QX802USB that would have had FX, Low cut switch and master fader as the QX1002/1202

But what mattered to me most and what makes this mixer stand out from the rest of the Behringer line is the fact that this is the only mixer at this price point (along with the plain 802) that offers 3band EQs on the stereo channels as well. Compared to the plain 802 whose price is a steal this one also offers compressors on the mic channels and a USB interface.

And actually if you factor in the Stereo Aux/FX return you actually have 10 channels.

Quality-wise a huge weak point is the power supply coupling at the mixer side, pay extra attention when plugging and removing the power supply so as not to strain the solder connections on the board.
