Feature:
For a mixer in this price range,it's packed with features allthough effects had to be externally connected.The seperate ctrl room out and main outs are a nice idea for such a mixer.
Quality:
Once again behringer has done it.Amazingly designed metal body which also has a stylish look.The blue power led does irritate me sometimes(lol).Very sturdy body which is actually meant for the road.I seriously doubt whether the various controls will work well in dusty conditions.
Value:
Redefines the phrase 'bang for the buck'.Go for it if you're outta inputs or own a bedroom studio of yours.
Sound:
Great budget mixer all though a lil' bigger than the cute 502.Sound quality is ok,but yu can't really expect complete silence from an analog mixer.bang for the buck.Basically I use it as a mic preamp and for extra inputs.The preamps work really well with high end condensors,but once i had to use a dynamic mic,and i really had a tough time fighting with the noise it produced.It's compatible with everything.Basic piece o equipment.Quality is not lost even when fully loaded.It's better for recording though i've not used it much on live occassions.I use M-AUDIO AUDIOPHILE24/96 for recording mic inputs alone and monitoring inputs from the control room.This mixer work very efficiently.There's the tape-to-ctrlroom option so u can use it to both record and monitor.One way of improving the 802 is by adding a power switch.But I guess only because the power unit is outside there is low noise.
Ease of Use:
Amazing! Even a five year old can work with this.The manual goes as far as to explain some wiring details which is to be appreciated.The eqs work well esp. in case of mics.
Support:
I've never had any direct experiences,as i've not had ANY problems with it.But i've heard they're quite friendly.
Overall:
If i lose this one, I'll probably go for a ub1002.
