Reviews
HIP HOP CONNECTION
September 2005
Hip Hop Connection, based in the UK and described as “The World’s Original Rap Magazine,” has given a thumbs-up to the BEHRINGER EURORACK UB502 describing it as “an effective budget-level mixer, at a rock bottom price.”
The EURORACK UB502 “made of steel and plastic, is just a touch bigger than a paperback novel. The built quality looks good,” Hoodeeman, the reviewer writes and concludes, “Looks good. Cheap as chips!”

SOUND ON SOUND (UK)
February 2004
The UB502 may look like a toy, but it is a very cost-effective problem solver that delivers good sound quality.
Despite being small enough to fit in your pocket, this no-frills five-channel mixer provides all the most important features required for those building their first home studio around a computer. While the UB502 has some obvious mixing applications, such as combining audio with backing tracks, I feel that it would work well in the studio simply as a stand-alone mic preamp or line input device. This mic preamp is as good as or better than you find in many larger consoles… In fact the smallness of the console works in its favor in many respects, as the signal path is kept short with no unnecessary frills.
Whether you’re setting up a basic computer recording system or just looking for a miniature routing/mixing problem-solver, the UB502 is a great little performer at an extremely attractive UK price.
Pros: good audio quality, just enough features to be used for simultaneous recording and monitoring with a computer audio system.
