Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer with Xenyx Mic Preamps and British EQs
The mic-presets are great and give a clean full sound. When used for vocals the noise level is very quite. Acoustic guitars sound great through this mixer too giving a warm natural sound. It really does sound good and has lots of punch and volume to spare.
The build quality for the price is good. It has a metal face and plastic sides. I would of perfered metal side as well but for the price they had to cut corrners some where. The knobs are smooth and don't have any play in them at all which is a good thing because I feel they will last.

You get a lot for a low price: 550 watts, built in EQ, small profile and with handles.
