Audio Mixer Behringer MX882 V2 8 Channels 15W 100-240V

The Behringer MX882 V2 8-channel audio mixer combines splitter, mixer and buffer amplifier functions in a compact chassis. Designed for live and studio use, it accepts mains input from 100–240V and consumes 15W. The unit provides six mono channels plus stereo main inputs and outputs, allowing routing of stereo sources to multiple mono outputs, mixing of several mono inputs to a stereo output, and level adaptation between consumer and professional line levels. The MX882 V2 is built for reliability and flexible signal management in installations where quick re-routing, distribution or level matching is required.

Advantages

The MX882 V2 supports both split and mix modes on its channels, enabling stereo signal distribution to separate mono outputs or combining multiple mono sources into a stereo bus. Individual Balance/Pan and Level controls on each channel allow precise placement and gain adjustment, including up to +15 dB gain for level matching. Its dual-function design reduces the need for multiple standalone devices, while the universal 100–240V mains compatibility makes it suitable for use in different regions. The metal enclosure and professional connectors provide durable performance for on-site and studio workflows.

Suitable for

• Distributing a stereo program to multiple mono outputs (splitter mode)
• Combining multiple mono sources into a stereo output (mixer mode)
• Level translation between -10 dBV and +4 dBu systems
• Small submixing tasks for keyboards, drum machines or auxiliary signals
• Distribution amplifier for PA systems, houses of worship, clubs and theatres

Key specifications

• Channels: 8 total routing points (6 mono channels plus stereo main I/O)
• Operating modes: Split (buffer/distribution) and Mix (summing to stereo)
• Power consumption: 15 W
• Mains voltage: 100–240 V AC
• Channel controls: Balance/Pan and Level with up to +15 dB gain
• Inputs/outputs: Stereo main inputs and outputs plus mono XLR channel outputs
• Construction: Metal chassis with professional audio connectors

How to use

Connect the stereo source to the Main Inputs when you need to distribute a program signal, then set individual channels to Split mode and use the Balance/Pan control to route desired portions of left and right to each mono output. For mixing tasks, set channel switches to Mix mode and feed the mono sources to the channel inputs; adjust Balance/Pan and Level controls to position each source in the stereo field and match levels as required. The unit’s Level controls can be used to translate between consumer and professional line levels, and the channel outputs remain available for individual buffering or further routing.

Recommendations

Use the MX882 V2 as a compact solution for on-stage signal distribution or as a dedicated submixer in a studio patch bay. When converting between -10 dBV and +4 dBu levels, start with unity position on Level controls and add gain gradually up to +15 dB only when required to avoid clipping. Secure connections with balanced cabling for longer runs and keep the unit ventilated during continuous operation.
