it also has an incredible annoying hiss when you amp it up to the maximum through your computer. I Personally do not prefer this on my buttons, as I tend to play with the knobs while recording, to get a feel of where the volume resides, without looking at it the actual mixer.Īs all Behringer Xenyx mixers do.

Do not have a middle step to feel where the middle ground is. not acceptable for serious professional use-cases.ĪLL the knobs that have to do with the volume: GAIN, LEVEL, COMPRESSION and MAIN. The maximum bit rate is 16-bit in which it sends the signal to your device. I do not advice this mixer if you are looking to do some Voice-overs, audio productions or live audio mixing with it. including mirrored playback for 6mm jack Headphones, built-in 1 band compressor knob, and the ability to attach speakers for both L and R channels for playback Very compact all in one design for people who want to do entry level streaming-gaming sessions, sound boarding or instrumental jams.įor it's small size it does have a lot more features and options then you would expect from an USB interface for this price. Currently looking for a Yamaha AG03 as a replacement. The only way for me to temporarily fix it is to Unplug and re-plug the device from the USB port. I've seen so many YouTubers using expensive audio interfaces just to do vlogs, and having bought this Q502, I keep thinking.why did they waste their money - this will do exactly the same job, and at a fraction of the price.ĮDIT: After about a year of use, the device stops transmitting In an Output signals at random moments. Secondly, the power switch.there isn't one! Dreadful design, otherwise I would have given it at least 4 starts for 'features.'Īll said, if you want a little mixer, which is sturdy, reliable and will give you some flexibility before you go into the PC or laptop, you won't find a better deal. The 'MAIN MIX' pad I understand, but there is a designated phones pot, so I was scratching my head for a few minutes thinking 'why?' Again, can be a little confusing, but trial and error. If you have your mic on (there's phantom power too.nice touch!) coming through your cans, you will have the signal cut by pressing in the 'TO PHONES' pad. Firstly, there are a couple of pads that allow you to send both the RCA inputs and the USB input to both the phones and main mix, which I found slightly confusing at first.

However, I do have a couple of small issues. Installation doesn't present any problems, and the fact that it has a compressor (albeit basic) is fantastic.Īs you may expect from Behringer, this little mixer is robust and sounds fine for what I bought it for.

It's compact so sits well next to my laptop allowing plenty of room for camera stand and speakers. I bought this Xenyx Q502 for my laptop and video calling, and it's great.
