Description

XENYX 302USB's diminutive size fool you - this little gem is loaded with features typically reserved for larger, more expensive mixers. For instance, we equipped the Mic input with our XENYX mic preamp, which is legendary for its sonic clarity and high - headroom performance. We also gave the Mic and Line/USB channels our 2 - band British - style EQs (Low and High), and provide a 2 - Track input that can be assigned to either the Main Mix or Phones.

abunda_amazon_reviews This minimal sized and weight mixer has all of the functions needed to extend a laptop computer with analog audio input from a microphone and one or two additional analog stereo sources. (The second stereo source is via the "2-channel" input pair which has no volume, balance, or equalizer controls. To get two full fledged stereo inputs requires stepping up to the 502USB mixer.) This all comes back via USB (2 channels) into the laptop, a basic ADC function. You can set the primary stereo analog input on the mixer to instead process USB audio sent from the laptop, giving you a basic DAC function (mixed with additional analog sources connected to the mixer). Good to have power over USB. The microphone sound is noticeably quieter than from my earlier Behringer UB802 mixer. This is USB1.1 audio class compliant and limited to 16 bits/ 48KHz rates. Works with Linux as well as Windows, no driver needed. This is a "bedroom" or portable mixer, rather than formal studio. Except for the full-sized XLR/ 1/4" microphone jack, the inputs and primary outputs use unbalanced RCA jacks. There are 1/8" (3.5mm) jacks for headphones and alternate microphone. This is definitely a laptop peripheral. Only disappointment: Behringer offers a licensed version of the Tracktion version 7 DAW software, upon registration. They have not emailed me back with a necessary code, weeks after I filled in their online registration form. Knocked off a review star because of this. The hardware is great within its design limits.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Flexible laptop audio peripheral;;Mr Apollo;;;Such a simple and versatile little mixer. I am still new to these things, so I shall not judge, but the amount of control this gives over basic speech input is extremely necessary for what I'm, up to. I think I could have gotten by without this mixer, but that is just my needs, if you need a mixer, and are looking for one that supports USB-to-PC or standalone operations, plus accepts XLR, RCA and headphone jack mic input, I'm not sure I'd look at anything else.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;The mixer for people that don't really need a mixer, like me;;Jonathan Feist;;;The mixer has good build. Knobs, and sliders are smooth. Buttons click with no crackling. It is quite.. no hiss. (Unless turn pre-amps wide open). I'm not a big fan of RCA jacks..but it is portable. Best pick compared to other battery powered mixers IMO. Mixer is on top/left of pedalboard in the pics. I had to used RCA right angle adapters so would fit in the pedalboard case.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Good portable battery power mixer;;P Watson;;;This is great for two BIG things: If you are a beginner, and if you travel and want portability. It is not a large mixer. You can do most small single mic setups very easily. For me it's a way to pass through to a camera recording setup I have. The size of it makes it great. It being a low volt mixer it only supplies (non-optional, always on) 12-15v of Phantom power. If you are wanting the extra juice of 48V the PS400 is great in addition with this little mixer (and cheap). The mixer is not overwhelming in features and very easy for someone new to learn how to use. Likewise, even someone who is familiar with mixers will appreciate the compact easy to use size for portability. Setup is a breeze. I like that the USB version supports both 1/4 inch jack and XLR, I also like that it can go direct to PC for mixing with ease. This mixer is a solid win in my book. -I wish it were 48v - but alas. In the future maybe this model will drop USB-B PD, and go with something like USB-C 3.0/3.1 PD. I believe this would make achieving 48v possible. -It doesn't have an impressive compressor resulting in some dynamic mic recording suffering. I also don't use amazing dynamic mics...so theres that also. Good enough in this case is 'good enough' in my book. -Feet are a hard plastic, I hate this. I put rubber pads under it to help it hold on to surfaces better without sliding around so much.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Behringer has become my brand of choice;;Matt [Eight-Six];;;This unit is well worth the price. I have done an internet radio oldies show for 10 years now and I have always used a headset with a built in mic, plugged directly into my pc. But I always had trouble with the mic volume level versus the music volume levels. Meaning computer sound card mic inputs do boost the mic volume signal, but nearly enough, even with the sound card's mic volume levels at maximum. As a result, I always had to lower the music level (mp3's) to match that low mic level, which does not provide optimum music sound quality. I first bought the Behringer XENXY802 and it is a fine mixer, but it does not accommodate or work at all with headset mics (apparently the mic input levels are too low for that). So after some research, I then bought the 302USB. I use it in the analog mode (I couldn't match levels at all in the USB mode/hook up and the mic sound was really bad) and in that analog mode and as advertized, it does work great with headphone mics. In fact the best part is, I can cleanly boost the mic level or volume much higher than the pc's sound cards alone allow, thus allowing me to raise the music levels of the mp3's to a matching proper level. The built in bass & treble controls come in handy and help with mic sound too. My shows now sound better than ever and I am a very happy customer. In fact, I have a back up pc and I bought another 302USB for that one too, because the price is right and they work so well. I know there are other uses for this mixer that I can't judge, but for me this is the perfect item and real good value for the dollar.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Does the job really well !;;Mike
