## Description

Premium 12-input mixer with 4 XENYX mic preamps, British EQ, and USB/audio interface for high-quality sound in live performances and home recording setups.

Review: Fantastic value and quality from Behringer - I decided to upgrade my speakers to some entry level audio monitors as I do a lot of editing and film work. I also wanted some decent speakers for general listening too. As I have a number of inputs such as Desktop, Laptop, PS3 and occasionally others, I thought i'd get a Mixer as it would be handy for handling multiple inputs, adjusting the sound and it would look really cool on my desk! This works great for me and was great for under £100, I considered a number of cheaper and smaller ones but this has a whole lot more channels and features than the lower end ones for not much more money. I would have liked it to have had another stereo channel or two but that's no problem as I use 3 & 4 together for my Desktop and still have 2 channels to plug in Microphones for recording. You can also use the FX and Aux Returns as extra stereo channels if you don't need them for anything else. Great audio quality from this and the build quality is decent, the USB interface can be used to record your Main Mix or as a Sound input into the 2 Track. I use it all the time to record voiceovers and other bits and it works great with Adobe Audition and Audacity. Great features and quality for the price! Has worked brilliantly for my home edit suite setup. I would recommend to people who are looking for a basic mixer for home setups, small live events/functions. Musicians maybe wanting to record vocals and instruments with XLR mics. You aren't able to record channels separately over USB as it all goes through the main mix so you won't have individual control over your levels in post unless you record them separately but it's great if you want to record music, voiceovers etc...
Review: Behringer 1202 Mixer - I am not an expert on mixers, but this appears to be a nice basic little mixer from Behringer. I had originally decided to purchase the Behringer X1622USB Xenyx 16 Input 2/2 Bus Mixer unfortunately desertcart were out of stock at the time, so I went with the Behringer 1202. Although this is a much lower spec mixer, I have to admit that it meets my requirements at present and I have been very pleased with the results and the purchase. The 1202 has 4 mono inputs which have XLR sockets (with 48volts phantom power for condenser mics) and a balanced/unbalanced input. Each of the 4 inputs has a gain control and EQ adjustment with a low cut button. I use a Shure SM58 mic which is notorious for it's low output, but the input gain on the mono inputs has more than enough gain for the Shure mic. The British EQ on the mixer is nice, but note that there is no EQ on the 4 Stereo inputs and there is no variable gain only a pre-set button. Pressing the button increases the gain on the Stereo inputs and this works very well with a good choice of gain, so no need really for variable gain. There is a FX send output so the audio can be sent too an external effects unit and then returned to the mixer then to the output (you could of course go for the 1202FX which has basic on-board effects). Apart from the phantom power button, there are 3 other buttons which are really self explanatory. There is a small 4 segment LED VU meter for level output - don't be put off by it being only 4 segments, this works very well so there isn't a need for a bigger VU meter - just keep it at -0- with the odd peak at -6-. I have checked a recording waveform and the output is nice and level with all output levels adjusted for a -0- reading on the LED's. Finally, there is more than enough audio output to drive any headphones - the output is very loud and clean sounding with no sign of any distortion. I may well upgrade to the Behringer X1622 at a later date, but at the moment the 1202 is doing a good job for me. If you are looking for a basic mixer and you don't want any bells and whistles, then you could do worse than the Behringer 1202.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with power supply**
A: Hi F. Yes  it has an in built power supply and is supplied with a 13 amp lead and plug. Good little mixer. Do not connect to your computer through usb hub. Go directly from mixer to computer usb port. I made that mistake and it would not communicate with computer until I went direct to computer usb. Eureka !!

**Q: Not impressed.  the  'software' downloaded after registration turned out to be audacity.  i was hoping to monitor 8 channels in real time. recommends?**
A: If you use the mixer connected to a computer you only get a left and right channels. Or that's what I found after connecting to laptop via USB.

**Q: Does it work with softwares like premiere pro cc?**
A: You can connect to a pc via usb but it's not effective as an audio interface. Might just be me and my set up but that was my experience.

**Q: can i use this with audio interface? if so, how? thanks!**
A: Not entirely sure what you mean by "with" but as this is a USB mixing desk you can use it as an audio interface, of course. However, do not be fooled! Though it is technically an 8 channel mixer, it still only provides a 2 channel (1 each way) audio interface for your computer. IE 1 Stereo Outpu and 1 Stereo input.If you're looking for more channels in and out, you'll have to try something else. As for this, with the single channel in, single channel out; it works really well and is great for reducing the amount of interference when it comes to recording.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little mixer once set up properly!
*by L***E on 13 October 2025*

Great little mixer once set up properly! The Behringer works exactly as intended, simple, compact, and effective. It’s a little finicky to get running at first, but once configured (especially when paired with Voicemeeter), it performs really well. I was able to clean up background noise using Voicemeeter’s denoiser without needing any extra hardware, which is a big plus. It’s smaller than I expected, but that actually works in its favour, it fits nicely on my desk without taking up much space. Despite the size, it feels solid and well-built. Overall, a great value for anyone needing a straightforward, reliable audio interface or small mixer.
