Great Little Mixer
I bought this mixer about 6 months ago basically because I needed some phantom power to power my condenser mic ( Behringer B1) and it cost about the same as any other phantom power supply.... I found this to be incredibly useful... mostly recording by myself I found it to be useful in setting up seperate micings and then mixing them before recording.... with 2 mic inputs and a direct line in on my acoustic guitar, I can get a great sound out of it.... if you are planning on doing more than one person at a time.... I would go with something with more channels but for someone who just enjoys recording whole CDs by themselves but still wants them to sound good.... this is a great option.....

A cheap way to get preamp and phantom power
I've had the mixer for about a week. Basically it is a nice cheap way to get phantom power and a microphone preamp with a mixer thrown in! It all seems to work fine but it is the first mixer I've owned and used, so I don't have a lot to compare it against.. So far I think the unit is pretty good.

a few things to note.
1. There is no on/off switch. (I can live with out one, really)

2. The phantom power doesn't seem to turn off when you turn the phantom power switch off. The condenser mic keeps working and the phantom light stays lit. However if you unplug the unit the led slowly goes out and when you replug the power the phantom power is off (no mic sound or lit LED). Press phantom power on again an the mic works and the led goes on.

I think there might be some hefty power supply capacitors in the box considering how long the red led stays lit when the power is disconected. So maybe the phantom power will eventually run out after you switch it off. I haven't been patient enough to find out.

3. The pre-amp gain for dynamic microphones doesn't seem to be enough to use dynamic microphone at a distance greater than say 1 foot without noise becoming a problem. This was with an unbalanced output from the mic. I've yet to see if noise is a problem with a balances output from the dynamic mic. But more gain for dynamic microphone would be good.

4. However with a condenser mic (I use the audio technica AT2020) the gain available is fine, I'd like a little more but it is OK. Noise is pretty much zero at the levels I use.

5. The apparent somewhat limited gain makes it hard to balance the input from both my condenser and dynamic mic without winding back the gain on the condenser and max-ing out the gain for the dynamic (noise!).

However , it is deadly cheap but offers fabulous value for money. You get two mic inputs with phantom power, reasonable gain and other stuff as extras. In fact if I needed more mic inputs I'd probably buy another ub805 and plug it into the first ub805 as it would still be much cheaper than getting any 4 mic input mixer even the behringers own ub1205.

go for it dudes

Great entry level mixer
I purchased this to take my music recording to another level.

I hooked my UB802 to my PC via the Line In socket on my soundcard. My MXL 990 Cardioid Condenser Mic and my keyboard are plugged into the mixer and I'm getting some great results.

The manual is small but is enough to get you started. It doesn't bog you down with too much technical jargon and gives you a chance to get stuck in right away.

If you are new to mixers and want to play around with PC digital recording or other mixing forms, then this is a great product to learn with.

Highly recommended for beginners.
