It also has 48V phantom power common for all the XLR inputs. There are two (left and right) line level 6.3mm jack balanced outputs, two (left and right) unbalanced Control outputs for monitoring, headphone output as well as other connections. You can use the Bal controls to separate tracks when recording (for example, send the voice to the right channel and all the other stuff to the left channel in order to do a post processing in the DAW software). Paired with a good quality DAW software and a fast enough computer, you can achieve very good results. It works as a stereo (two channel) USB interface. The effects quality is very good but you are limited to use the same effect for every channel, however you can choose the amount of effect each channel uses. The remaining eight input channels are line level only and work as pairs (like a stereo channel with separated jacks for the right and left), where each pair shares controls for Bal, Fx and Level, so, no EQ or Comp.

Each one of those four channels have dedicated Compressor, Gain, Volume, Bal (left right balance), Fx (level of effect) and 3 band EQ. It has four mic/line level mono input channels with both balanced XLR and 6.3mm jack connections. This unit is very small and light and it sounds very good for the price you pay. I mean literally so that you can hardly hold it.Īltogether I am / we are very happy with it. Only thing about the quality is the mains adapter - it gets hella hot. It's been through about 10 gigs and a couple karaoke parties, even one on the beach (yes, with sand) and everything still works like new. we unpack it and plug in everything for practice and unplug it all and put it away after practice. We also don't leave it lying around, i.e. We've been practicing with it every week for around a year. I have a Eurorack from around 2003 - man was that crappy. The workmanship seems pretty good as well. The device also seems to keep feedback under control for the most part. Still pretty clean, no overbearing distortion. I would have to try out the mixer on another PA to see who's the culprit of that. The sound is quite good though not very transparent. But we only need it as a live mixer so no big loss there. This however does have latency which I can't seem to alleviate. I would think that Behringer would use the same technology as the U-Control which has virtually no latency.

The internal FX is also a plus if you need a subtle atmosphere to the mix. The compressor has deemed itself very helpful for us, as we have 3 loud singers and one weak singer who does not pay attention to her proximity to the mic. Only the turn-n-push knob for the internal FX is not ideal. The operation is great despite the small size. We use it for 4 singer mics, 1 keyboard, 1 acoustic guitar. I bought this one for a pastime cover band project.
