Behringer XENYX X1222USB USB Mixer With Effects

(31)

The Behringer XENYX X1222USB mixer puts exceptional audio quality and versatile functionality well within reach of home recordists and gigging musicians. Built around six high-headroom Xenyx mic preamps, it captures vocals and acoustic instruments with lifelike transparency. With its dual-engine design, bidirectional USB audio interface and bundled recording software, the Behringer XENYX X1222USB makes it easy to craft pro-sounding recordings on your computer. Take your productions to the next level with the feature-rich Behringer XENYX X1222USB mixer.

Capture Lifelike Sound With Xenyx Mic Preamps

The key to capturing stellar recordings is starting with pristine audio sources. That's why the Behringer XENYX X1222USB is equipped with six XENYX branded mic preamps with 130dB of dynamic range—comparable to high-end standalone preamps. They deliver tons of headroom to handle everything from subtle acoustic guitar to a screaming lead vocal. Ultralow noise and premium components like Neuschwanstein capacitors impart loads of clarity, detail and warmth to your vocal and instrument tracks.

Rein in Dynamics With One-Knob Compression

Compression is an essential tool for evening out uneven volume levels, be it an acoustic guitar that picks unpredictably or a vocalist with inconsistent dynamics. The Behringer XENYX X1222USB mixer makes dialing in compression easy with dedicated knobs on the mono channels. Just set the threshold where you want compression to kick in, then fine-tune the amount to suit your sound source. LED meters let you visually monitor when compression is active. You'll be able to rein in dynamics on the fly and get consistent levels across your tracks.

Add Dimension With Onboard Effects

The Behringer XENYX X1222USB is stocked with editable effects powered by a 24-bit dual-engine processor. Lush hall reverbs, chorusing modulation effects, ping-pong delays—this mixer has everything you need to take your mixes to a professional level. Additionally, the effects can even be synced to tempo via the convenient Tap button. Dial up just the right amount of ambience on your vocals and instruments using the intuitive Parameter knob. The Behringer XENYX X1222USB puts a complete FX rack at your fingertips.

The mixer is like the heart of a pro audio setup, where all of the instruments signals and components come together. It's up to the mixer to tie them together and give you control over what the audience hears and how it sounds. And, of course, they're not just for live performances - a mixer is almost always what you'll find behind the glass at any recording studio. With that all said, mixers do come in a few varieties, including the selection of unpowered mixers you're browsing as you read this.

If you're new to pro audio, you might be wondering what the difference is between powered and unpowered mixers. That's simple enough to explain: a powered mixer has a built-in amplifier, and an unpowered mixer, like any of the models found in this section, does not. Why choose one or the other? Now there's a tougher question, and the answer is that it depends on the type of setup you like best. Unpowered mixers are the undisputed kings if your preference is toward versatility. Since you're not tied down to an internal amplifier, you're free to use any amp you want - or even to attach a crossover and use multiple amps at once. That's a big advantage of you're the sort of audio professional who likes to have total control and customizability every step of the way.

Another great thing about unpowered mixers is that, while examples like the Allen & Heath ZED-428 show that they can get pretty darn big, they can also be really tiny. If you want a portable rig, especially if you're going between locations that have amps available anyway, a compact unpowered mixer such as the Yamaha MG06X is a great toy to have. As with any other piece of audio equipment, the choice of unpowered mixer is ultimately down to your own needs and preferences. The variety of mixers here may be broad, but once you start narrowing them down based on what you're looking for, you can definitely expect a few leaders to surface. After that, all you have to do is choose between those - it's surprisingly easy once you get started.
