This mixer works, it does everything it's supposed to do.. But the real thing that ruined it for me was the power supply. It doesn't connect to the mixer securely. Really, if you bump the mixer with moderate force, or sneeze near the power supply connector, it will lose power. Then you have to wiggle the plug until you find the "sweet spot" where it will maintain power.
On occasion, I would be standing across the room from the mixer, playing, and without touching it at all, it would lose power and I would have to wiggle the plug again to get power. Very frustrating when that happened.
But, when it does get power, the mixer does exactly what it says. The channels seem to have a tiny bit of hum, but in my case I was using a mic on decently loud sources so the signal to noise ratio was negligible. I tried connecting a Shure SM58 to the mixer for bass/guitar amps and for speaking, it worked perfect. I also tried guitar and bass through line-in inputs and had no problems. I didn't get a chance to attach any condenser mics but I'm sure the phantom power would work. The whole time I recorded the sound in Audacity using a stereo RCA (phono) to 1/8 inch cable to the line-in of my computer.
The knobs don't feel like they would fall off, they're solid, and the slider for the main mix has some wiggle room, but I don't know if that's unusual. It still doesn't feel like it would fall off, though.
I would have kept this mixer if it weren't for the silly power supply issue. Super gluing the power supply to be permanently plugged in might be a solution, but I didn't want to bother. I also would have liked an on/off switch. I returned it after a few weeks because I feared that eventually the power supply would get even more and more finicky. Keep this in mind when you buy this product...

Every design and function for the item is good but it would be even better to have one switch to turn off power. My suggestion is to put on one switch for good.

I've never had a problem with Behringer. And I've used it here in the US and also back home in New Zealand. This one is exceptionally good (as a model) because it's super-light, and yet you could have four mics attached at one go. I'd recommend it any day.

I own the Behringer Xenyx 1202FX, which is essentially this model but costs about 20 dollars more for the FX (it comes with 100 set effects). I have been doing home recording with Cubase and Logic, using a Presonus Firebox audio interface, with both MIDI, vocals and instruments, and didn't use a mixing board, but eventually decided to try one out given that (a) they are making them at very reasonable prices and (b) I had more inputs and outputs than the Firebox could easily handle.
This mixing board didn't look that impressive to me when I first checked it out, but having set it up and used it, it operates very well and cleanly. The fact that it comes with four mic inputs and preamps is a plus. The fact that it does not have an on/off switch is a minus. But basically it works well, the EQ is useful, and it has a large number of inputs and outputs for such a small mixer. Behringer makes a range of models with less/more inputs to suit one's needs, so this is great. Also, having a dedicated mixer makes it easier for me, as I can leave all my inputs connected and just adjust things on the mixer depending on what I want to record. Another small thing that is mixing is a button that cuts out the line altogether -- you have to turn it down to zero. And, there are no faders (except the main); instead it uses knobs for everything. Well, I would have liked some of these things, but then I would have to pay more, and what I really wanted was functionality at a good price, and that is what the Behringer Xenyx has delivered thus far.
By the way, I am running the following through the mixer: an AT3035 audiotechnica condenser mic, an Alesis QS8.1, guitar via line-in (or mic'd), two KRK RP5 studio monitors, Presonus Firebox. Everything's been working and sounding great thus far. Since I'm using Logic, the effects are basically unnecessary, but if I ever want to use the board for live use, which I may do, they could come in handy. I'd say the effects are just so-so.
