This minimal sized and weight mixer has all of the functions needed to extend a laptop computer with analog audio input from a microphone and one or two additional analog stereo sources. (The second stereo source is via the "2-channel" input pair which has no volume, balance, or equalizer controls. To get two full fledged stereo inputs requires stepping up to the 502USB mixer.)
This all comes back via USB (2 channels) into the laptop, a basic ADC function. You can set the primary stereo analog input on the mixer to instead process USB audio sent from the laptop, giving you a basic DAC function (mixed with additional analog sources connected to the mixer).
Good to have power over USB. The microphone sound is noticeably quieter than from my earlier Behringer UB802 mixer. This is USB1.1 audio class compliant and limited to 16 bits/ 48KHz rates. Works with Linux as well as Windows, no driver needed. This is a "bedroom" or portable mixer, rather than formal studio. Except for the full-sized XLR/ 1/4" microphone jack, the inputs and primary outputs use unbalanced RCA jacks. There are 1/8" (3.5mm) jacks for headphones and alternate microphone. This is definitely a laptop peripheral.
Only disappointment: Behringer offers a licensed version of the Tracktion version 7 DAW software, upon registration. They have not emailed me back with a necessary code, weeks after I filled in their online registration form. Knocked off a review star because of this. The hardware is great within its design limits.

Sonically Superior Mic PreampThe Xenyx 302USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom Xenyx mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over the world. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. Xenyx preamps off er a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, the Xenyx 302USB provides such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. |
Sublimely Musical British EQThe British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our Xenyx mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. |
Recording BlissThere was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio – and that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That’s where the Xenyx 302USB mixer comes in. Thanks to the included bidirectional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive. Which brings us to software. |

It is not a large mixer. You can do most small single mic setups very easily. For me it's a way to pass through to a camera recording setup I have. The size of it makes it great.
It being a low volt mixer it only supplies (non-optional, always on) 12-15v of Phantom power. If you are wanting the extra juice of 48V the PS400 is great in addition with this little mixer (and cheap).
The mixer is not overwhelming in features and very easy for someone new to learn how to use. Likewise, even someone who is familiar with mixers will appreciate the compact easy to use size for portability. Setup is a breeze.
I like that the USB version supports both 1/4 inch jack and XLR, I also like that it can go direct to PC for mixing with ease. This mixer is a solid win in my book.
-I wish it were 48v - but alas. In the future maybe this model will drop USB-B PD, and go with something like USB-C 3.0/3.1 PD. I believe this would make achieving 48v possible.
-It doesn't have an impressive compressor resulting in some dynamic mic recording suffering. I also don't use amazing dynamic mics...so theres that also. Good enough in this case is 'good enough' in my book.
-Feet are a hard plastic, I hate this. I put rubber pads under it to help it hold on to surfaces better without sliding around so much.

Good portable battery power mixer
By P Watson on August 19, 2017
The mixer has good build. Knobs, and sliders are smooth. Buttons click with no crackling. It is quite.. no hiss. (Unless turn pre-amps wide open). I'm not a big fan of RCA jacks..but it is portable. Best pick compared to other battery powered mixers IMO. Mixer is on top/left of pedalboard in the pics. I had to used RCA right angle adapters so would fit in the pedalboard case.
