I purchased a Mackie 1642 for hundreds of dollars more and it stopped working within a couple of years. At this price I will not be so bummed when that day comes, perhaps it won't. The Behringer track record seems uneven to me. My compressor works fine and it is pretty old. Some folks are not as lucky I've heard.

Nice for the bucks, a fully loaded small mixer for the price of a stomp box. plenty of features, lots of in & outs. Clean transparent sound. Mic preamps cover a wide range for high to low output mics. Phantom power a big plus. For someone familiar with mixers it's pretty straight forward and easy to operate. Seems rugged/durable. Never have had an issue. The effects are great, nice sounds and lots of 'em. I use this mixer for home based recording with another unit for a 4 bus out. Computer is set up with a sound card that allows 4X4 full duplex recording. I can see this board being used for small club venue. Has four mic inputs, plenty of outs for room speakers, stage monitors and recording simultaneously, or as a practice/rehearsal mixer. For the price you can't go wrong. It works good with all types of mics, eletric, condenser, dynamics, ribbons. Again the sound is clean and transparent, very professional. It is small so my two fit easily on my computer desk. i use mine daily, it's one of those things that helps feed my music addiction. I have only two minor complaints about this unit; 1. it has no on-off switch. 2. the headphone output is wimpy. Wussy headphone output is common to almost all small mixers this size. Half a dozen or so manufacturers use the same electronics/design in these boards. Electronics has grown over the past decades, A mixer of this quality would have cost thousands not so far back. This is one of the most useful tools in my arsenal of music stuff. Easy to use so it's great for beginners. Something I really have fun with.

I would get another...great sound, small, and convenient. Besides, once I finally figure out all 99 presets, I will be damned if I am NOT going to have it :)

I use this mixer to sub-mix my keys, vocals (both dry and post Voicelive Touch), as well as my guitar and a monitor mix. This provides a perfect 'more me' setup for my IEMs (output of mixer feeds a limiter box and then to my in-ears). One of the biggest complaints for this mixer has been that the blue power LED used to be so bright on stage, it would blind you and you would have to cover it with tape. Not any more, great news is that Behringer replaced it with a normal brightness orange LED. The only other issue for me is aligning the power cord plug into the mixer body correctly on a dark stage without bending or breaking the pins in the cord plug. I had to apply white electrical tape to the cord plug and make a 'sharpie' mark to indicate proper plug orientation. Great mixer at a great price.

good little mixer!!!easy to set up,sounds great!!! i give this thing a 9 on features because it has no on-off switch,i just went and bought a small power strip so i dont have to keep plugging and unplugging the power since the input to the board is kinda flimsy,the sound is nice and clear,to set a effect channel you want dont forget to push down on the fx selection button to set a effect or your just gonna be in the test mode lol like i did for a whole practice..lol..duh..(if the number on display is blinking your not set) for a $110.00 you cant go wrong with this baby!!! even in test mode i was happy...lol...but now i know how to set effects wow the sounds are great!!! i would pay double for this mixer,and oh yeah itll be great for our small venue playouts very easy to set up and small...

Purchaced this in 2010. Previously I was using a USA made Mackie 1202. The Mackie lacked effects, it's only shortcoming. The Behringer XENYX 1202FX Mixer is an amazing piece of gear. My advice pertaining to Behringer gear in general is to HANDLE WITH CARE. The stuff is fragile. This one has been transported in a hard breifcase with enough room for all the hook ups and more. This unit was produced in 2009 and is going on 6 years of regular use and running strong. I have set this baby up over 850+ times (one to four hrs). I stopped using a bigger Behringer mixer in my band gigs because this one was always in my trunk and it worked for my single act and small band venues So, it's all about protecting the sliders,knobs and that tricky power supply jack. It even took a line in from another mixer,no problem. If you can live in a 1/4 inch world check this out!!!

This model is about to be discontinued for the USB one that will cost more. So grab one while they last. I needed extra mic and inputs for my Bose L1 Compact. I now have studio quality effects on all channels. You can find a sheet of the effects to print out if you do some searching on line.

Can't beat it for the money, it's my second one, the first one was Non Fx. It handled so much just wonderfully! But the euro rack is better organized wire wise and worth the extra money. I will eventually upgrade to that one...it will be part of a rack box set up. I had trouble registering product, but so cheap who cares, they want receipt uploaded...like it's really necessary. Power display is meant to stay on, not broken.

This mixer is the only one I've seen in it's class. Anything else at 100 bucks is a line mixer or something. This is actually gigworthy for a small band. Particularly if you have powered speakers! Then, your load in is easy, set up is easy, use is easy, tear down and leaving is easy. Sure beats the days of a rack of gear to do the same amount of work. It needs a power switch. But, the weaker point in the design is the input for power. It has very fragile pins and they are not marked well. If you don't line them up right, you will easily destroy the plug. I don't know why they couldn't use the same 'computer' plug everybody else has. I used white paint to mark teh arrow that shows the right way to insert the plug. At a gig, it can be dark...Anyway, that pretty blue light is too darned bright and can keep you from seeing the controls in a darker setting. Behringer has this light on many of their products and it is annoying. Over all, the mixer is very good. Fix those things and it would be excellent. I really don't have any experience with their support service, but it doesn't seem right to down grade them for having great stuff that doesn't breakdown.

Solo acoustic sometimes duo.. perfect for an easy set up. Dial in your favorite reverb, set it & go. Light equipment. I am very careful with it since it could be delicate. Don't want to take the chances of finding out.

Just plugged in this mixer and put it through its paces. The sound quality is really good. I have it hooked up to a Tapco 1400 power amp, so I've got plenty of headroom. (overkill?) My Takamine acoustic sounds full & rich, and vocals are clear & strong.Two criticisms: 1. The power cord uses a funky, small computer typ multi-pin connector that was a pain to get lined up & plugged in. Bad design decision.2. My unit contains built in effects with 99 pre-sets, but the unit comes with a manual and a catalog, and the listing of the effects is nowhere to be found. Will have to go online & hunt them down. Other than that, I'm very happy with the mixer. *Have no experience with Behringer customer support, but they made me rate them!

I now have two and use them with stand alone high power PA amps. They sound great. I have a bunch of Behringer gear and have never been let down.

This is a very good piece of equipment that should handle most of your needs for small and larger venues. The build in FX processor really adds a great touch. Don't know where your going to find another piece of equipment that does everything this will at this price. The only improvement I would make would be to add sliders instead of knobs.

I bought this mixer as a 'rehearsal' mixer for our band. We run 4 vocal mics, rhythm guitar, and keyboard through it. There are plenty of inputs to run bass and lead guitar as well, we've just chosen not to.

I am the owner of a number of Behringer products and most have been pretty good if not excellent in performance and price. I thought this would have been the same with the 1202 FX Mixer. When I received the unit yesterday I plugged it in and after 5 minuets the bottom panel gets very hot, There is no on/off switch so you have to unplug it to turn it on and off. It comes with a proprietary electrical cord and transformer giving very little forgiveness if you lose or misplace that somewhere. The design for ventilation on the unit is very poor, anything that runs that hot is not going to last very long. Called zZounds and they were very cordial but I did have to pay the shipping back and waste a lot of time going to Fed Ex and UPS and the shipping costs are 20% of the mixer. With all manufactures of musical instruments, never take anything for granted. Ask the retailer the dumbest questions and safe yourself some grief and time .If you cant test it out at the local music store or their are insufficient reviews on You Tube beware.

Seems like a good little mixer EXCEPT I wasnt' aware that it was NOT powered . Make sure you have all supporting equipment before buying (POWER AMP)....then you'll be good to go. I'm rating it a 3 on sound simply because I was not aware that it could not be used as a direct plug in for shows and because it's not powered, it's quiet. Once properly connected to a powered source, I'm sure it will be fabulous. SOLID make, GREAT quality of sound if using for studio work, and will be equally as great for shows once powered....(did I mention it's NOT powered?? LOL)

I wish I had not purchased this one. Fragile power supply pins and noise levels are noticeable. My power supply input pins broke and I had to throw everything out on road getting frustrated with not getting suitable power supply intime (In India). I just ordered Yamaha one which has better power input supply pins (not fragile). I feel being cheated by this supe rdirty tradeintelligent power supply input pins design which I think are deliberately done. I will never buy any Behringer or such fragile power input types. A lesson learnt!

Behringer is a German base company. Fine engineering typical of the Germans. but made by a substandard Chinese manufacturer. The power jack is unlike anything I have ever seen. 3 tiny pins no longer than 3 millimeters and a Jack housing on the board that does not hold the jack plug securely. 4 times in the middle of recording the jack fell out on it's own. the very cheap Plastic Plug in chord has a life of it's own. Being barely pliable it is prone to reverting back to it's original wound state, which pulls the jack out of the board. the board itself is the cheapest plastic I think I've ever come across. I had to not only tape down the plugin jack but also tape down a barrier to keep the weight of my guitar cable from pulling it off the desk. this bottom has no rubber bumpers typical in most all electronic devices is made of the pre-molded body of the board and is very slick. I sent the first one back thinking it was just defective. The second board was no different and I sent it back too. Don't buy this board unless you are into the cheapest Chinese made product on the market.

Praising what is good and what is not so good is MOOT. The power chord connection to the mixer is loose and sloppy and prone to loosing power if the power cable is even brushed by another cable. It is the worst power connection I've ever seen. 3 very tiny post that barely go deep enough for a connection. I sent for a replacement and it was exactly the same. Behringer is from Germany and known for excellence in engineering and build. It is no longer made in Germany. Alas it is just another piece Chinese manufactured junk. If I were the head of Behringer I would be highly embarrassed to see the companies fine products reduced to junk by the Chinese.
