Behringer XENYX 802
D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.
The unplug test
Nothing changes, because this is a fully analog mixing console with no network connection to begin with. Microphones and line-level sources go in on XLR and 1/4" jacks, a mixed signal comes out on the main and control-room outputs, and every gain, EQ and level control is a physical knob. It has no app, no firmware, and nothing that could contact a server even if you wanted it to.
Why this tier: The manufacturer's own user manual details every connector on the unit: XLR mic inputs with switchable phantom power, 1/4" TRS line and stereo inputs, FX send/return, stereo aux return, RCA CD/Tape input and output, unbalanced main and control-room outputs, a 1/4" headphone jack, and a wall-wart DC power input. There is no USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or any digital/network interface listed anywhere in the specification section, and the FCC section is a Part 15 Class B unintentional-radiator statement rather than an intentional-radiator grant.

Where to buy
Open questions
- Could not reach mediadl.musictribe.com (Behringer's own document host) directly in this session to confirm the manual is still current; the retailer-hosted copy matches Behringer's standard manual format and FCC filer information, but a direct fetch from Behringer's own domain would strengthen this record.
- This model line also ships as the XENYX 802S with added USB audio streaming — buyers should confirm they are looking at the plain 802 (no S suffix) if avoiding any digital interface is the goal, even though the 802S's USB is a wired audio interface, not a wireless one.

Class A is primary (manual, FCC filing, teardown). Class B is corroborated community reporting. Class C is never sufficient alone.

This is a retailer-hosted mirror of Behringer's own official user manual for the XENYX 502/802/1002/1202 series (content, copyright notice, and FCC compliance section match Behringer/Red Chip Company Ltd.'s standard manual format; the manufacturer's canonical host is mediadl.musictribe.com, which could not be reached directly in this session). Full connector-panel and specifications sections (pages 4-9) list only analog XLR/TRS/RCA connections and a wall-wart DC power input for the 802 model, with no USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or digital interface anywhere. The FCC section on page 13 is a Part 15 Class B unintentional-radiator statement, not an intentional-radiator grant. — accessed 2026-09-02
