Beringer Xenyx 502 mixer

Great product. Beringer quality in miniature. Can listen to my keyboard silently and actually send the notes I play to my guitarpro 6 software, then listen to the playback from the software on my headphones. I'm very pleased. Thanks for he advice Karl. You're a sharp dude.

Xenyx 502

Great little unit. It has most of the features that I was looking for. The only reason for the 4.5 instead of the 5.0 is that it does not support 48 v, and I overlooked that as I was making my decision. Using cardoid instead of condenser mikes still works out well for my purposes: a Studio B in my bedroom.

Excellent Product

This is an excellent piece of equipment. I'd like a *little more* mic preamp, but the what's there is high quality (no distortion). For the price this is a great deal for anyone needing small scale but high quality mixer.

Simple to setup. Plenty of connections. Sounds great. Only reason not five stars: As it is set up in my bedroom, wish it had an off button to turn off that bright blue light.

Solid little board but beware of +48v

I bought this board to do demos for my sound class at the college I teach at. It has been extremely useful. I am able to demo what eq, gain and panning does. I had to buy out of my own pocket, so the price was right. The only scary thing was I could not find anything about this board having phantom power. I plugged in a Beyer M500 vintage ribbon mic and showed the class. Than I plugged in a Rode NT1 condenser. My jaw dropped when it worked. This means there is phantom power that is ALWAYS ON! It says nowhere on the board anything about this. Thankfully the Beyer ribbon survived the +48v.

Just what I was looking for

Simple and easy to use. Quiet. Lots of features for the money.

Does what I need it to!

I bought a number of these to use with the individual headphone mixes in our project studio so that we could have independent control over a click track. It works fine being able to control that signal against the regular headphone mix.

Works fine as a headphone mixer but it does color the sound a bit (tends on the high side).
