Sound: Sound is great. I use it on the gig and recording. No complaints. Feature: This mixer is well laid out. The only thing lacking is the missing power switch, but it's a very minor issue. Ease of Use: No problems. Quality: Great quality. Well-built. Value: Are you kidding? I don't know how they do it, but I hope they keep on doing it! Well worth the price. I also purchased their XM8500 mic for using live, which is rugged and sounds clear - awesome value. Behringer rocks! Manufacturer Support: Have not had to contact customer support. The Wow Factor: I checked around a long time before I settled on this mixer. I wanted the smallest mixer available with effects. Some musicians I work with have Behringer mixers and they love them. Overall: I would buy another in a heartbeat. In fact, I may get a second one for back-up when I have some extra cash.

Sound: It has low noise, even with the gain cranked up on the microphone channels (with 60+dB of gain, that's really saying something!) I've made several good recordings with it - everything ran through it sounds good live and in recording: vocals through a condensor mic, acoustic guitars through a condensor mic, five-string bass through a direct box and electric guitar through an RP500. The tracks that I've made with it mix together well on my archlinux-based DAW (so very little distortion as well). This mixer is clear and transparent. With tone controls at zero and "fx" levels at zero, it does not color the mix as far as I can tell. Turning the treble (on the mic channels) all the way up can add significant noise however - you can't forget how to mix when using this thing (cut rather than boost if at all possible). The pan pots are center-detent types. However, none of the pots exactly "center" the sound when the pot is in the center. (That's a common problem with center-detent pots). Using a meter or computer, you'll have to micro adjust the pans to ensure exact centering. The effects are surprisingly good considering the price of this mixer. The reverbs are realistic, clear and usable, especially for vocals. I was only looking for a mixer, but the 1002FX was not much more expensive than the 1002 (same mixer, but without the effects) - I figured, "why not? - I can always zero it out if I don't like it." For the price, I'm giving this an eight, only because of the cranked treble control adding more noise than I expected to discover. Feature: Power supply included - it gets warm when in use. There are center-detent pots on the tone controls, pan controls and the "fx" controls, making it easy to locate "middle" or "zero" (or almost, as noted above). I don't use the tone controls on the mic channels (I set them at 0). I use my DAW for equalization. The mic channels and main have clipping indicators - very useful, especially since it is rarely obvious from the sound when subtle clipping is happening. The blue power indicator LED is blindingly bright. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but something to know. It can be easy to see from a distance that the unit is on. The phantom power works as expected - has a slow turn on and turn off time, as is common. The effects - I like the reverbs. I've used the chorus and flanging effects on a bass for some interesting results. No on-off switch. I hate that, but I knew that when I bought it. I would have gladly paid an extra $3 for a switch - that's about what an acceptable rocker switch would have cost retail. In fact, Behringer could have left out the tone controls (which I don't use anyway) and used the extra budget to include a power switch. The mixer does not come with 1/4" male to RCA female adapters, so you'll need some if you want to plug in RCA equipment to channels 3-10. Ease of Use: Easy to use, especially if you've ever used a mixer before. The only thing that might be different is the effects module - turn the dial to the effect program you want, push the dial down, adjust your "fx" levels and you have effects. I read a PDF version of the instruction manual before I bought it, as I try to do with everything I buy. The mixer comes boxed with the same in-print manual (one English, one German and one written in eight different languages). Quality: It is compact. Nothing rattles when shaken. The paint and lettering seem well attached and are without flaw. It is encased in durable plastic and barring having a speaker cab dropped on it or something (which would likely damage the pots rather than the plastic housing), I expect that it will last for years. Since the power supply and unit get warm when in use, I am concerned that those may overheat and self destruct. Therefore, I don't leave it running 24/7 - for example, I don't run my home entertainment signals through it. I do, however, run it for up to twelve hours at a time when doing recording sessions without any obvious thermal problems. Value: Compared to other mixers around the same price as the 1002FX, I'm satisfied with the value. It is worth the asking price. It would be difficult to design and build my own mixer with comparable quality for the price...I'm an electrical engineer, so I'm capable of that (just don't have the time, despite being hopelessly unemployed). Manufacturer Support: Didn't contact Behringer - did not need to. The Wow Factor: I wouldn't call it sex appeal, but this mixer is laid out well. The lettering is easy to read. The knobs on the pots are color coded (white for level, black for pan, red for fx, blue for tone). Overall: I like this mixer and expect to be using it for twenty years or so (like the RadioShack mixer this is replacing). It suits my simple "low noise, low distortion, one or two tracks at a time with phantom power" recording needs perfectly. The effects were extra, but I've made good use of them. If it were lost or stolen, I would not hesitate to buy another 1002FX.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Although is a good choice for entry level and home studio, there is a background noise which can not be eliminated whatsoever. The price is great as you can start at $38 for the 502, but you must be aware that this piece makes noise, not so loud but noise anyway. Feature: I woould give an 8 in features as it includes all the ones you need for your home studio. You can connect a microphone, your guitar pedal effects, a CD player, your mobile, a recorder, etc. Ease of Use: Nothing to read if you want to start right away. Very easy to use. Quality: The presentation of the product is very nice, looks quite robust, quite modern. I have given 5 as the noise is the main concern here. Value: This is perhaps the best point here with Behringer as my 502 mixer was just $38. Manufacturer Support: I have never had to use product support, so I can not rate it. The Wow Factor: The general product looks great and very well designed. Overall: This is a product that you will choose for the price; however, after 4 or 6 months you will start thinking to look for something with better quality as the noise will be there...
