Figure 14: Behringer UB802 Mixer

This mixer features inputs for four instruments. Each mic has its own set of controls,

which is detailed below. Each input is known as a “channel.”

(A) This column of inputs and controls is known as a “channel strip.” A channel strip is

duplicated for every input channel on the mixer. The UB802 has four channel strips—

two stereo and two mono. A mixer capable of handling six microphone connections,

for example, would feature six channel strips.

(B) The UB802 features two mono microphone input jacks each for channel strips 1 and

2 (one XLR jack and one 1/4” jack). You can only use one jack per channel at any

given time, though

(D) These three knobs control the sound equalization (EQ) for this channel. This is a

three-band EQ, allowing high, mid and low frequency control.
