Behringer Xenyx 302USB

I use this as a secondary interface for some VOIP apps that don't recognize my Tascam US-1800 multiple inputs. I don't use this as an audio interface for recording so I can't say how compatible it is with most DAW's, but for teamspeak, discord, steam... it's ok.
It has straightforward simple routing, a 3 channel EQ and a headset input.
DO USE THIS if you're a gamer. It will enhance the quality of your transmitted voice chat and you can equalize a bit to deal with boomy dynamic mics to close to your mouth.
DON'T USE THIS as a DAW interface. Save up a few more tens and get something better. You will be able to record a clean, rather low self-noise level signal, but I wouldn't recommend monitoring through this device as the returning sound is quite colored. There are better interfaces for a DAW out there.

I bought this little interface as my first one and I am satisfied with it. It's very small but has all of the benefits I need from it. It's very small and looking very good.

I like a lot that there is a one port for guitar and mic. Also, the clipping flashing lights are very useful and looking very descent.
The mixer also has a lot of different switchers to control the sound, which is very useful for recording some home sounds and to mix the sound.

In addition, there is also a free software that you can download, which is amazing for people, that are starting to use a mixer and to record some music.

Highly recommend this one. For the money you pay, this is probably the best interface you can get

I bought this product for one reason and it serves me really well.

I needed a quick way to connect my mic to my pc and do some lightweight audio streaming so I went ahead and bought this little fellow.

The price is really low for what you actually get, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this small Xenyx came with its own AC adaptor, cable and even a sticker for your personal entertainment.
Some freeware software is also included if you follow the link to Behringers page and download the package they give out - which is also nice.

The installation process with this Xenyx is also very simple and hassle free, it uses the standard USB audio codec found on every pc so the whole operation is kind of a "plug and play" thing.

My only complaint with this product is that there is no off switch on it so the only way to shut it down is to disconnect the USB cable. Call me old fashioned but that's the way I prefer my electronics.
And also the phantom on this is not 48v and can't be toggled - it's constant 15v all the time.

Happy with the buy. This little gadget seems to want to do everything with its compact body, and does it decently well. It's packed with essential features for the on-the-go musicians or a small home studio, and also quick and fuss-free to set up, just plug it into your computer via USB. And one of the best plus points is that it is USB-powered (although you can opt to use included power adapter), meaning less cables/wires to untangle in your setup. I intend to use it for my keyboard at live gigs to connect my MacBook (running MainStage) to the house mixer.

Though I would prefer the outputs to be TS instead, RCA would suffice since I will not be using it for professional recording. Also, the difference would likely not be noticeable live, especially with a decent RCA to TS stereo cable connected via DI to the mixer.

Hello folks,
i'm using this Behringer Xenyx 302 USB since 2012 and i'm really satisfied with it. The Behringer's main task in my setup is to connect three sounddevices on my active monitors.
1. My Mac Book Pro on the USB-Play channel
2. my Playstation 3 on the 2-track channel
3. my iPhone on the line-in channel

the 2-track channel is always playing the ps3 sound. Between my Macbook and the iPhone I have to choose with the red button. In this way i can play a shooter on the ps3 and hear music with my Macbook or my iPhone.

I'm Using a little program called soundsource on my mac to faster choose between the internal speakers (or headphones) and the Behringer.

The headphone output is very powerful and sounds good witch my DT 880.

Attention in this setup you need a AC-Powered USB-Hub, if you connect the Behringer directly you can't use is when you PC is turned off...

This device has all you need for fast and reliable recording straight into your computer. I use it to record guitar tracks and it works wonderful, no latency.
Talking about recording gutars, with a bit of understanding, it is possible to record the clean sound while hear the effected/distorted sound but it is a bit tricky.

It wont get 5 stars because behringer says that it is a 5 interface audiocard, while in fact the computer only recognize two, so even if you can use 5 inputs in a very impractical way, you will only record with two using your USB.
It is very sturdy and the knobs are good quality.

Resuming, for the price it is a very good item if you care to understand how to deal with his limitations.
