This is an 8 input 2 bus mixer. It has 2 strips and 2 stereo strips. There are 2 XLR inputs, each on one mono strip and each mono strip has one 1/4 inch jack. The stereo strips each have two 1/4 inch jacks. There is an fx send and return, control room outs, main outs, a headphone jack. There is one set of 2-track in/outs. Each strip consists of a 3 band eq, fx send, pan/balance knobs and a level knob. No sliders. One of the greatest things about this, is that you get two XLR inputs that provide phantom power, which is pretty darn awesome. It'd probably be cheaper to buy four of these and run them in unison instead of buying a 16 strip with 4 XLR inputs. I really love this, the preamps sound pretty good, for only costing 80 bucks. The value to money ratio here is pretty high. The lack of sliders can be impractical, but certainly not unlivable. Plus, this thing is tough. Works fine in all kinds of weather and conditions and stuff.
UTILIZATION
Everything on this mixer is sturdy, and does what it says. The parts are high quality and it's super easy to use. It doesn't have a lot of built in effects, and doesn't have any bells or whistles, just the basics. It is a great value for the price, and the Preamp is pretty much completely transparent, I love it. The manual is barely need, this thing is practically plug and go. I do wish it had a USB out, but one can do without, especially given the great price.
SOUNDS
The sound of this mixer is great. Not incredible, but great. The eq is pretty good. It has a pretty transparent sound, which is nice. I love the simplicity of it and the operation. It's INCREDIBLY quiet, and it provides enough preamp gain for most applications. I have a condenser mic that I use pretty consistently for smaller applications. There are no hisses, or pops, and all the inputs are sturdy. The thing is built like a tank, dropped it multiple times on concrete, no problems.
OVERALL OPINION
This mixer is worth every cent. It is an astounding deal, especially for the price. Behringer makes some awesome products now and then, and this is one of them! It's simplicity is a gift from heaven, and it's very well put together space wise. Your fingers have enough space to tweak the knobs, and there aren't too many knobs. Everything is clearly labeled and does what it says. The phantom power it supplies is so nice. and hard to find at such a low price. If you need a back up mixer, or something portable for smaller bands, BUY THIS NOW. You won't regret it. I do wish there was a usb output, and maybe faders instead of knobs for the main strip, but overall this thing performs. I currently own and use 3 of these things.
