There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I find the performance to be very good. The sound is clean, with no noticeable noise. When first testing I heard a hiss coming out of the main mix, but after investigating, I realized that the hiss was actually from the computer audio out. In fact all of my computers had a noticeable hiss, but only at the highest levels. Interestingly, the microphones, a Shure SM48 and Nady dual UHF-24 wireless were all very clean even with the gain turned up to maximum. Watch out for feedback! I thought the microphones were far enough away from the speakers, but not with surround sound. A horrible squeal came out. I was afraid I had blown my amp and/or speakers, but fortunately not.
It seemed I would not need the four stereo line level inputs since I wasn't planning on connecting a lot of instruments, but I found that I could connect all of my computers as well as an analog synth into the mixer using a mix of RCA, USB, and line-level inputs. Incidentally, the digital I/O eliminates the computer hiss. Right now I have four computers and a tablet hooked up to the mixer. This has the added benefit that my computers are all connected to one audio system and I can either playback or record from my choice of computer. I have the mixer's main outputs plugged into a 2x2 USB audio interface that I connect to one of the computers and to an amplifier.
The downsides for me are more what the mixer can't do. It's not an audio interface, the USB notwithstanding, but it can act very similarly. It connects to a computer via USB or RCA and then sends everything out through the main mix. I would have liked if it could send each channel individually, but that requires a device for more money. The four mono pre-amp channels have gain, level, pan,and 3 band equalizers. The 4 stereo inputs have only level and stereo balance. Mute and solo switches would be convenient, but I guess I'm not paying for convenience.
I read in some of the comments that a reviewer found that the mixer doesn't sit flush to his desk and rocks when pushed. My unit does the same thing. One foot seems to sit about a millimeter high. Annoying, so I put a business card underneath. That stops the rocking, but if the unit moves, the card can slip out. I ended up attaching four square vinyl bumpers onto the bottom. That not only gets rid of the rocking but also movement. One of the bumpers covers a half inch of a ventilation opening. Hopefully that doesn't cause a problem.
I read that another reviewer dislikes the DIN power plug and I also hate it. The plug can slip out if the unit is lifted. It only happened once to me, but if you are gong to move the mixer around, or even re-position it, first unplug it. I also find the DIN connector difficult to attach . I rarely get it on the first try, even if I'm looking straight at the arrow. I never had this problem with DIN connectors before, so it could be my eyesight is failing. I also don't see why Behringer couldn't add an on/off power switch. Rubber feet and a switch - that might cost the company fifty cents. Their margins can't be that thin.
I was able to buy the mixer for less than $75 which seems to be a bargain since the price jumped $25 immediately after the purchase. For a hundred dollars, I might not have bought it. If I were willing to spend more I would have looked at a Mackie or Yamaha or a better Behringer, If I kept at a similar price point, I would have considered the Q802 or Q1002, but value for the price drove the sale. My price was actually less than the smaller Behringer mixers. Otherwise, for a bare-bones analog mixer at a reasonable price, this unit gets the job done.
It does get warm underneath. I stuck a couple of large feet on the bottom to vent a little better. I'd recommend using the wall plug to power it up instead of the plug directly on the mixer to avoid spikes. Make sure the low voltage plug is fully and properly inserted.
Overall, I think it’s a good mixer for the size, applications and options that come with it.

Great value for money. Robust and reliable and good quality sound. Some of the negative reviews suggest to me that the owners don't know how to use mixers properly. I would suggest a crash course of you've never used one before. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube and various blogs.
Sure the UI of the mixer might not be the best out there, but still. GREAT piece of gear for the price you pay. And the sound quality is pretty darn good.
My setup:
- Macbook 2012 running Rekordbox
- DDJ-400 connected with usb to macbook and master output to Q1202 (channels 5/6)
- Q1202 output CTRL Room to my KRK5 studio monitors using balanced cables
- Q1202 mic in channel 1
- Q1202 USB connected to my streaming laptop and OBS running with Audio Input Device selecting the Q1202 audio interface
Make sure "To Main Mix" is deactivated!
Cheers Behringer, great piece of gear.
So in essence it's a decent product that's completely sabotaged by braindead cheap garbage powersupply.
