 No Power Button?Sep 01, 2010
What were they thinking when they left out the power button on this unit. This unit is great but for this one glaring detail. I use this thing a lot but it runs a bit hot and I would prefer to turn it off and on with a switch. I am afraid I am wearing out the power connector in the back of the unit which is like an S-Video connector. Sometimes it is hard to line up the pins and I think they might eventually get damaged by my constant inserting and then pulling it out.
Other than that, this unit really does deliver a lot for the money. I use mine for podcasting on a weekly basis.
 breaks a lotJul 30, 2010
Bought one and the Phones output broke in three months. Replaced it and the same output broke in two months.
I've had enough.

Like it, bought a second one!Jul 12, 2010
This thing really is useful. I started using one as a simple headphone/monitor control for a DAW here and it sits nicely by the computer keyboard. I've since bought a second one and modded the first with some opamp swaps and a less-bright orange power LED (as noted by another reviewer). I also had coincidentally added rubber feet to both of mine to handle that sliding around issue.
Another reviewer mentioned the mic pre going full blast at the very end of the trim knob range. Both mine have this to a degree, but one is way more pronounced. The pot itself is a good part of it (I swapped pots between the two), but it may be the circuit as well. I haven't tried to resolve that yet and it isn't that big of a deal here.
Wishes-- Phantom power as others have mentioned. A single clean pre which could also do condensers would be great. Also, there is no easy way to grab the mic signal without including the full mix. A pre-fader direct out for the mic channel, or an insert jack which could be used like that would make it a lot more useful for tracking vocals and stuff where you needed the rest of the mixer for DAW/monitor duty. BTW- I don't believe there's a newer 502 with phantom as mentioned in another review. He may be thinking of the 802. I bought one of those a few days ago too. Seems nice too, but there's nothing like the compact size of that smaller one.
Take Care
PS- Looks like my first one was bought used in 2007. The second was within a year of that and they're in use most of the day, so I guess they've had ample time to break if they were going to. ;)
**Edit** After some fishing around, it looks like there actually may be some new modded version of this thing with phantom power, but I can't find any hard proof of it on their site, and the downloadable docs and spec sheets look the same as always. Some users mention a sticker added to newer boxes stating "Now with phantom power!", but it sounds as if there is no way to disable it or know that it's on as with the larger models. Someone else mentioned that it only measured 30vDC, but that may not be a problem. If it really has any, good for B!

needed a mixer for my nady wireless mike. researched on amazon and got this little amazing product. had a party for my daughter's 18th birthday and the quality of my audio system was great. i just hooked my stereo amplifier to the behringer 502 mixer, plug the wireless mike and mp3 player and the party really rocked. my brother and friends were amazed by the sound and price of such a small set-up. better than hiring a dj as one friend suggested.

Exactly what you need if you want flexibility of your audio needs, plug your mics, players, computer, TV and this will deliver.
