I recently had a recording gig where power was limited, it was outdoors and all I needed was two tracks. Odd? Yes, but after some homework I settled on the Xenyz 802 mixer by Behringer.

2 reasons I went with it; Behringer is stocked just about every and has a great return policy to boot and also the price point can't be beat, it was $50. I have used it for a handful of small gigs including a DJ gig with powered speakers.

It is small. It is smaller than the average laptop and well about spot on to the footprint of a Kindle.

Technically it is '8 channels' but realistically, you have 2 XLR ins an RCA in/out and 2 summoned stereo channels. Really for its size it is plenty handy, I just want to warn those who think 'Oh I can plug 8 mics into it'

It is simple to use, plug n play with no real learning curve needed.

It is a tad bit noisy and the preamps are so so. I know and expect this from a cheap mixer. If you are looking to do some worthwhile recordings though you may want to pass on it.

Behringer makes a decent little mixer. It's been knocked around and dropped casually and still keeps on ticking. The knobs and jacks feel strong on it and I know Behringer has a great return policy.

A nice little mixer for small projects and at a price you can easily pick it up to use as a backup or for DJ gigs.
