Even at the bottom of the table you have another RCA input (9). In addition to the USB connection that allows you to send the sound to your computer through this connection, you have an output for the headphones (6), another for control with two connectors (7) and another main output with two other jack connectors (8). If the table has several inputs, it has no fewer outputs. What do we get out of this? That your Skype interlocutors do not go crazy with their own voices coming back to them, and that you can also add audio and other effects to your sound and send it to them also by Skype. This audio output is ideal for being able to record podcasts using Skype, as it allows you to choose which audio channels from the console to drift to this FX Send to send them back to Skype and independently to the main audio output of the console. You can also use the Stereo Aux Return (4) as a sound input if you need it.īut one of the strengths of this mixer is the FX Send, generally known as AUX Out on other consoles. You also have two other inputs (2,3) to which you can connect your iPhone to add music, the iPad to connect Skype, or the sound source you want. Having two connections is ideal if you can ever record with someone in your "studio", and thus not have to share a microphone. Obviously more ambient noise will appear, because the mic will pick up all the noise around you, but that will just be a matter of finding the perfect setting that allows you to get your voice to the desired level without picking up the noise from everything around you. And the best thing is that it manages to do it without adding noise. We have up to 2 connections for XLR microphones (1) with their respective preamps that go up to + 60DB of gain, more than enough for your dynamic microphone to be heard. You will find very few tables with these three characteristics and that are below € 100, even below € 200 I would dare to say. And finally its preamplifier, which will allow most dynamic microphones to work without problems (we will talk about the types of microphones in another article). No less important is the AUX output, or rather, FX SEND as it is called in the mix, ideal for sending sound through a channel other than the main one as we will explain later. First the possibility of connecting it to the USB of your computer, which will allow you to choose that interface for sound input or output. The Xenyx Q802USB table has some elements that differentiate it from other tables of the same price range, and that make it the most interesting of them all. Plastic and a thin aluminum foil is what we will find in this mixerLet's not kid ourselves, so we will have to find a good transport bag to protect it, if we want to carry it from one place to another, something that is perfectly possible due to its size and weight, one of its advantages over other models.
Obviously what we cannot ask for at this price is a build quality like that of professional tables. And yet if we read its specifications they are even higher than those of many other similar devices but with a higher price. The Xenyx Q802USB mixer falls below the € 100 limit which I think can mark the limit that most non-professional users would mark when making an investment of this type. You just need to take a tour of Amazon and you will see that there are from products whose price is suspiciously low but with unfortunate opinions on the part of users, to others that are unattainable for the majority of mortals. It is easy to see the prices of these types of devices. 2 USB connection, AUX output and preamp.
