"Good looking, cheap, and easy to use."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I love it size, i can put it on my shelf. Cheap and beautiful. For the one whom not rich.
Sound
Good quality preamp make it sound good, it's cheap anyway. I couldn't find any other product with 8 input and 4 aux in i've got for only $120!! Actualy the usb conveter really sound very bad, too many hiss, distortion, and click. Just forget the conveter and plug it direct to your pc and rock it.
Features
A pair of tool for racking, two rca cables, one AC cable, and an USB conveter. This mixer is enough for just home recording usage. Just don't use the usb conveter if you have better sound card, just get from the output directly to the pc's input and you can earn 96KHZ instead 44KHZ.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use, good interface, minutes to learn then you are expert then.
Quality
The finishing is good enough, but some of the part seems to be easy to be broken. They give us 2 pair of stereo suck rca cables with poor quality.
Value
CHEAP!!!! I thought it has $179 value
Manufacturer Support
i dunno, i haven't get any problem so why i bothered them.
The Wow Factor
Just for a device to connect to pc, i have peavey unity series for mixing.

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am very satisfied with this product overall because i was able to create my first band album from it. It sounded great! I also bought a cople of pedals to go with it. Overall, i really think this product is a great one. for it is cheap and great working. Thank you soo much for this product.
Sound
this product is the best sound mixer i ever bought!! The sound quality is alsome. I plugged it in and heard a butiful sound. The design overall is very nice, cheap, and affordable.
Features
this product came with great accsessories! The most useful one for me was the RCA cord. I really needed it to finish my cd.
Ease of Use
this product is soo easy to use. I love how the designers kept it a simple design yet made it a very useful sound mixer.
Quality
In my eyes, it was made just fine. I found everything working as well as the power. The factory quility was pretty good when i got it.
Value
I got a reallly good deal for the product i bought. Seeing that most of the ones like this were over 200 dollors, i would consider this a good deal. Plus the price of it dropped magerly.
Manufacturer Support
the company was very nice and easy to order. They were very easy to reach . I have not needed to return any of my pieces to get repaired for everything worked perfect.
The Wow Factor
I think it lookes pretty good but not a very nice color. Maby i would suggest red or blue or green. but the design layout is exelent.

"Very nice!!!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I won't replace it until I need more channels or effects.
Sound
This product has been a very good fit for my needs. The only complaint I have about sound is that the microphones on high master volumes feedback.
Features
The features of it, for the price, were great. I love the 4 phantom powered pre-amps!!! Those are great for using any condenser mic, and there is no buzzing or hum out of the thing.
Ease of Use
The buttons are all very clearly labeled.
Quality
Not bad at all. Like I said, there is a little feed back from the mics at high master volume, but that's about it.
Value
Nothing better!
The Wow Factor
It is a good buy but without the effects that you could get for a little more, it isn't as desirable as that one.

Behringer XENYX 1204 Customer Review

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The ALT 3/4 feature is very useful for PC recording, inserts are useful and it is generally a nicely manufactured device.
Sound
Sound is clean, using it with a condensor mic, guitar and keyboard. Cannot notice cross-over from channels - good signal separation.
Features
The included RCA cables are terrible quality - why bother including them. UCA200 USB interface works well, although it was a huge PITA to install/configure.
Ease of Use
If you understand how a mixer works, and how signals are routed then this is very simple. If not, the user manual is not geared for novice sound engineers - you will need to read some basics on signal routing first.
Quality
So far I have no complaints regarding audio quality - EQ's work nicely and have a unique sound, punching in channel strips works well, and the phantom power for condensor mic's works well with no hum.
Value
Good value, not a smoking deal but I was impatient - in retrospect I would buy a console with an integrated USB/FireWire interface rather than an external one like was bundled with this one.
Manufacturer Support
I had to d/l drivers for the UCA200 from their website, and the software is pretty buggy - had to install / reinstall several times before it actually worked. No FAQ for troubleshooting this either.
The Wow Factor
Adequate, but not hot and steamy.
