How to Adjust the Gain on the Behringer 802

The Behringer XENYX 802 is an eight-input, two-bus mixer with two XENYX phantom-powered preamps. The 802 also features three British-style three-band equalizers, one post-fader effects send per channel, a stereo auxiliary return, and separate main mix, control room, headphone and stereo CD/tape output jacks. The Behringer XENYX 802 mixer is marketed toward groups with multiple vocalists, especially for live sound. While the limited number of channels compromises the mixer's flexibility, low cost and transportability makes it practical for a small performing group.
