The Behringer UB1002 is a compact and affordable 10-input, 2-bus mixer from Behringer’s Eurorack series. This mixer is designed for small setups, such as home studios, podcasts, or live performances, and is known for its straightforward functionality and good value for money. Despite its small size, the UB1002 offers a range of features that make it suitable for a variety of audio tasks.

Key Features:

  • Inputs: The UB1002 has a total of 10 inputs:
    • 2 XLR microphone inputs with Behringer’s preamps for clean, low-noise audio capture.
    • 2 stereo line inputs for connecting instruments, keyboards, or other line-level devices.
    • 2 mono line inputs that can be used with either balanced or unbalanced signals.
  • Preamps: The Xenyx microphone preamps offer high-headroom and low-noise performance, which ensures clear vocal and instrument signals, even at high gain levels. These preamps are a key feature in Behringer’s smaller mixers, providing solid sound quality for budget-conscious users.
  • Phantom Power: The UB1002 includes +48V phantom power, enabling the use of condenser microphones that require external power. This feature is essential for studio recording, podcasting, or live sound setups where condenser mics are commonly used.
  • EQ Section: Each of the two mono channels is equipped with a 3-band EQ (high, mid, and low) for tonal shaping. The EQ helps fine-tune the sound of microphones and instruments during live performances or recording sessions.
  • Aux Sends: The mixer includes one post-fader auxiliary send per channel, which can be used to send audio to external effects processors or monitors, providing greater flexibility in routing signals.
  • Pan and Level Controls: Each channel has individual pan knobs and level faders, allowing users to adjust the stereo placement and volume of each input source.
  • Main Outputs: The UB1002 has main mix outputs that use 1/4″ TRS connectors, ideal for connecting to PA systems, audio interfaces, or powered monitors.
  • Control Room and Headphone Outputs: These outputs allow for separate monitoring through headphones or studio monitors, making the mixer suitable for studio use or live sound setups where monitoring is needed.

Aesthetic and Build Quality:

The UB1002 has a compact and durable design, with an intuitive layout that is easy to navigate. Its metal chassisensures durability, making it suitable for home use, small live gigs, or rehearsal spaces. The control layout is color-coded for easy identification of knobs and controls during use, especially in live environments.

Sound Quality:

The Xenyx preamps are known for their clean and transparent sound, which is ideal for small live setups, home studios, or podcasting. The 3-band EQ on each mono channel provides additional flexibility in shaping the tone of vocals and instruments. The overall sound quality is clean and punchy, making the UB1002 a good choice for users who need a small, affordable mixer with professional features.

Applications:

  • Small Studio Setups: The UB1002 is perfect for home studios, offering enough inputs and features to handle vocal recordings, small band sessions, or podcasting.
  • Podcasting: With XLR inputs, phantom power, and the ability to handle multiple sources, the UB1002 is commonly used by podcasters who need an affordable, reliable solution for recording multiple speakers or integrating external sound sources.
  • Live Sound: For smaller live gigs, the UB1002 provides enough flexibility to handle a couple of vocal microphones and instruments, making it a popular choice for solo performers or duos.

Country of Manufacture:

  • China: Like many Behringer products, the UB1002 is manufactured in China. This allows Behringer to keep costs low while still offering a decent level of quality and reliability.
