Premium 5-Input 2-Bus Mixer with Xenyx Mic Preamp and British EQ
Product Description
The XENYX 502 has 5 inputs and main mix, stereo CD/tape plus separate headphone outputs. Additionally, assignable CD/tape inputs have been incorporated for routing flexibility. The new XENYX Mic Preamp matches the sound quality, transparency, headroom and even the dynamic range of boutique-style, stand-alone mic preamps. Neo-classic "British EQ" brings back the warmth and musicality of those '60s and '70s mega-console desks that made music history.

I use this a lot and I do like it. It is robust and handy for simple settups. However, the pre-amp is only 'ok' and I am planning on getting a stand alone one for matter limiting performance etc. If you are wanting to do something like record home podcasts and mix in Skype or some other signal - this is great.

I use one of these for live gigs with my band [I should mention that we use only synthesizers and vocals], and would recommend it for this purpose. Channel 1 is designed to cope with the signal from microphones, and so has more parameters on it than the others. This channel has a standard mic input, as well as a mono quarter-inch jack socket in case you want to use channel 1 for an instrument instead. I use this channel for any synths that give a quieter signal than the others, because it has additional high/low EQ dials that can be used to boost the instrument's volume.
Channels 2 & 3 and 3 & 4 are really pairs of mono inputs rather than four separate channels - this is really a three-track mixer. But it is possible to 'cheat' an extra channel by putting yet another instrument through the two 'CD/Tape' mini-jack inputs. Depress the 'CD/Tape to mix' button next to this, and use the volume control on your instrument to get the right balance. Admittedly, here the 502 isn't 'mixing' as such, as it isn't controlling volume, and you won't be able to pan that instrument right or left, but it at least allows you to get another instrument through the unit, and I've found this very useful at gigs.
The unit itself is very compact. It's light enough for easy transport but sufficiently solid to withstand live performance. If you want a mixer for a band with a few more players, then get the Xenyx 802 instead, which has more inputs. But personally, I'm very happy with the 502. A lot of people have at first laughed at it when I've unpacked it at gigs, only to have to shut up when they realised it could channel our sound perfectly well into a quarter-inch double-jack lead coming from its output sockets.

this this is tiny
Bought this as it was the cheapest behringer offered. It is a nice little mixer but I decided to go for the 802 in the end, as I thought it was worth the little bit more money for... Read more

Excellent small mixer
This is a brilliant mixer, 3 channel really, 2 stereo channels, one mono for the mic. I use this in my dance classes to give easy control over volume. Read more

Keep your wits about you
The product claims to have 5 inputs. While this is technically true, it's potentially misleading. If you try to mix 5 different sources using this device, two of them will be... Read more
