XENYX X1622USBThe compact XENYX X1622USB mixer allows you to effortlessly achieve premium-quality sound, thanks to 4 onboard studio-grade XENYX Mic Preamps, super-easy “one-knob†studio-grade compressors and our ultra-musical “British†channel EQs – with a semi-parametric mid band for the maximum flexibility in sound sculpting. Add to this our 24-bit, dual-engine Multi-FX processor with 16 editable, professional-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects – and the X1622USB becomes an incredibly versatile mixer for your live performances. But the XENYX X1622USB wasn’t just designed to handle your live gigs; it also provides the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio interface, the XENYX X1622USB comes with all the recording and editing software needed to turn your computer system into a complete, high-performance home recording studio. | Sonically Superior Mic PreampsAll XENYX mixers have one thing in common – great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. XENYX preamps off er a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. | One-Knob CompressionAsk professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs find challenging. Our “one-knob†compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products in this class but standard on the XENYX X1622USB mixer. |

Sublimely Musical British EQThe British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. | Klark Tenknik – The Reverb that Made HistoryKlark Teknik is recognized worldwide as one of the most prestigious British audio companies, with a 40-year pedigree and even a TEC Lifetime Achievement Award to back it up. The Company has designed and manufactured products for world-class artists, and their legendary DN780 reverb processor is considered by leading audio engineers around the world as the industry standard. Check out their website to learn more about Klark Teknik’s legendary heritage. Behringer is proud to incorporate custom-engineered Klark Teknik effects into their products.

Other features include 2 Aux Sends: 1 pre/post fader switchable for monitoring/FX applications, 1 post fader (for internal FX or external send) – plus Clip LEDs, Mute, Main Mix and Subgroup routing switches, Solo and PFL functions on all channels. |

he job for live streams and stage gigs alike and at an affordable price
Muy buena, una herramienta bastante equipada y a buen precio.
Trs bonne petite table de mixage avec tout ce qu’il faut dont une entre sortie usb/2tracks pour un enregistreur externe (pc ou MP3 par exemple).
Aucun souffle si on ne dpasse pas les limites du matriel connect dessus et qu’on utilise des cbles en bon tat. Le son est trs correct avec une bonne compression.
Je peux enfin brancher tout le matriel sans avoir jongler pour que a fonctionne (par ex: je peux diriger la guitare soit vers un effet numrique externe, soit directement vers la sortie, ou les deux en mme temps, juste en mutant ou dmutant les pistes).
Un seul bmol, un manque de progressivit du potentiomtre du casque qui le rend sensible rgler…
A voir dans quelques annes si cette table reste toujours aussi correcte.
Das Mischpult hat fast alle Anschlussmglichkeiten die man bentigt um flexible arbeiten zu knnen. Schade ist das der 2 track Eingang nicht auf die Alt ausgng gelegt werden kann.
Dafr sind die Main ausgnge parallel verwendbar. Sowohl xlr als auch klinke kann mit verschiedenen Verstrker bzw. Aktivboxen gleichzeitig belegt werden.
Die Betriebsanleitung ist leider vllig unzureichend und beschreibt die Funktionen nur sehr oberflchlich.
Einen telefonischen Support, der bei der Inbetriebnahme schnell helfen knnte ohne langes hin und her schreiben, konnte ich nicht ermitteln.
Besonders der Anschluss ber USB an den PC oder Laptop ist schwer zu ergrnden und Bedarf einiger Vorkenntnisse im Computerbereich. Zwar wird ein treiber fr den Computer auf der Behringer Homepage angeboten, jedoch ohne jegliche Beschreibung fr welche Betriebssysteme er geeignet ist noch wie installiert werden kann.
Ich habe mein Laptop wie bisher ber 2 track und vorhandene externe Soundkarte angeschlossen. Das funktioniert einwandfrei wenn man erstmal weis das zur Aufnahme der 2 Track auf Mainausgang abgeschaltet werden muss.
Das Effektgert ist ganz brauchbar, lsst aber einige Mglichkeiten vermissen wenn man ein TC Helicon gewhnt ist.
Alles in allem kann ich das Mischpult fr den durchschnittlichen Musiker mit Ambitionen zur Audioaufnahme im Homestudio empfehlen.
Il mixer presenta una costruzione robusta ed esteticamente molto carina, a un primo utilizzo sembra essere di buona qualit e teoricamente presenta anche una buona parte effetti il problema pi grosso che purtroppo non esiste un manuale in italiano e soprattutto non esiste un manuale che spieghi in dettaglio tutta la parte effetti e come si configura al meglio. Alla fine dopo averlo provato per alcuni giorni ho deciso di ripiegare su un altro modello restituendo questo perch per un utilizzo live a mio avviso troppo scomoda la configurazione degli effetti. Sicuramente rimane un ottimo mixer da studio o in quei casi dove non c’ bisogno di modificare gli effetti pi volte durante una serata.
Esta muy bien buena calidad… solo que tardo una eternidad….
Noch nicht mal 1 Jahr und schon wieder defekt und durch corona ist Garantie abgelaufen..ich soll mich an den Hersteller wenden.
Just what I needed. More than enough features including reasonable FX. Mic preamps are good, eq also. Compact unit and a great price.
Got this for a super good deal for around 80-90 (been a month or two so can’t necessarily remember) and it worked exquisitely. I had been using this to feed my microphone and headphones through a series of different channels and found it quite easy to use.
Unfortunately, I have quite a complicated set up for my microphone and it didn’t work with how I have used it. This was due to the lack of drivers for this unit, and ASIO4ALL or other software such as A4A did not support what I wanted it to do.
That doesn’t mean the product is bad because it’s a plug and play mixer, works straight away as you plug it into your computer. It just wasn’t specifically for me – unfortunately.
Excellent value. I’m pleased with my purchase. And now the task is to learn how to use it properly
I’m a big fan of Behringer products and my music set up includes many of them. The Zenyx X1622USB is a great budget mixer with built in effects and is easy to use. Build quality is good, TRS outputs and Phantom power are useful features. I’d recommend this mixe
Je l’emploi pour ma chane hardware sur YouTube ( PC et Consoles ) et elle est tous juste gnial je ne regrette pas ma goxlr mini
Ein Kompliment an Behringer, beim diesem Mischpult hat man jede Kleinigkeit gut berlegt und gut gemacht.
Ich bin Alleinunterhalter, brauche kleine und leichte Equipment, dieses Gert kann ich berall ruhig benutzen. Das Gert ist auch fr die Duos. Ich bin begeistert auch von seinem Preis. Danke Behringer.
Tamer P.
J’aime le produit Behringer et il est trs qualit et classe
Es todo lo que esperaba, estoy muy contento con la compra
Je voulais une vraie console avec des faders et tout le toutim. Pas rationnel mais un petit got d’Abbey Road prix d’ami. Et fonctionne trs bien avec Studio One en USB.
Product itself seems fine, however the packaging not so good… see photo
Tja, was soll ich sagen?
Fr den Probenraum sicher okay; eine kleine Party im privaten Kreis wrde ich damit auch noch machen.
Interessierte Einsteiger (wie ich) und Jugendliche mit knappem Budget werden sicher Ihren Spa damit haben. Klare Empfehlung.
Aber eine Veranstaltung mit zahlenden Gsten und in rauer Umgebung? Eher nicht.
Die Fader sind sehr leichtgngig und fhlen sich irgendwie billig/klapprig an.
Beim ersten Durchtesten der Funktion fiel auf, das die XLR-Buchsen aller 4 Mikrofoneingnge nicht funktionierten. Es wurde natrlich als Garantiefall behandelt und lief auch wirklich gut.
Das Repair-Centre befindet sich allerdings in England, was durch die langen Versandwege automatisch zu Wartezeiten fhrte. Die Fehlerbeschreibung habe ich dann gleich mal in Englisch verfasst.
Es gibt Kunden, die ein lautes Grundrauschen des Mixers bemngeln. Das wrde ich so nicht besttigen wollen.
Bei “Bhnenequipment” handelt es sich nicht um HiFi-Gerte.
Ja, es gibt ein Rauschen. Aber dafr sind die Class D-Endstufen meiner Aktivboxen verantwortlich. ber einen Kopfhrer abgehrt, halte ich das alles fr sehr normal und nicht mal schlecht.
Ein paar Dinge ber Mischpulte habe ich gelernt und hatte Spa dabei:
– Wer High-Class haben mchte, muss richtig Geld in die Hand nehmen – nicht nur 200
– Wrde ich einen Mixer selbst bauen, wrde allein das Material (Buchsen, Fader, VU-Meter, Effektprozessor, Netzteile, USB-Soundkarte, Platinen, Chips, …) weit mehr als doppelt so viel kosten, der Bau 1 Jahr dauern und einen Haufen Arbeit bedeuten.
– Das Funktionsprinzip war mir klar, aber es gibt so viele Kniffe und Tricks, die man sich aneignen, ausprobieren und ben muss (Signalfhrung, Verkabelung und Bedienung).
– Ein Mischpult hat nie genug Kanle
– zuverlssiges Material beruhigt, wenn ein Gig bevorsteht – also Geld in die Hand nehmen
– den Beruf des Tontechnikers/ Toningenieurs gibt es nicht umsonst
Jetzt liegt es an euch zu entscheiden, welche Ansprche ihr habt und was sie euch wert sind.
Very good sound and control and at the price you just gotta get one.
…. sind zwar meine ersten Erfahrungen mit einem Mischpult obwohl ich musikalisch immer schon unterwegs war. Ich hab ein Rode NT1-A dran und zwei PC’s .. alle Sounds werden sauber getrennt.. Okay fr das Rode braucht man unter Umstnden einen Endstrfilter und bei zwei PC’s ein Splitterkabel. Ich muss erst 50 Jahre alt werden das ich mich an so etwas rantraue. Next Level is Bruce Swedian .. Compression is for Kids ! Dankeschn Behringer ! 🙂
Ive been a professional singer for 13 years and never in my career have I used something so amazingly clear. For a digital mixer it has less lag than anything I’ve used it surpasses all of my expectations and it truly is one of the best pieces of equipment I’ve used
Un ottimo mixer, qualit audio ineccepibile e buonissimi effetti. Precisione dei meccanismi analogici e fattura dei contatti. La scheda audio usb integrata di buona qualit.
A major upgrade from my previous desk, this added numerous features which have proved their worth. From quality dsp to USB connectivity for use with DAW software.
Ideal for band start ups or medium level home studio use, or dj/karaoke use.
If you need something more advanced than a line mixer but not quite the high end studio type then this or its stablemates offering fewer or a few more inputs is well worth a look.
It includes dsp/sound processor pass throughs, built in compressors on 4 mic lines plus dsp. Although your probably going to want the pass through option for more serious work the built in processor is fine for basic vocals.
Certainly worth a look if you can find them on offer as I did, and need more flexibility.
Build quality on mine is spot on.
L ho comprato per uso hobbistico/semi professionale e mi ci trovo benissimo. Perfetto in tutto e per tutto, consiglio vivamente.
A solid if uninspiring mixer. Easy enough to set up, mediocre built in effects, but options for inserts. The electronics are quiet enough, and the built in compressors are decent.
Muy buenas la mesa de mezcla esta genial bastante bonito y lleg rpido lo recomiendo fabuloso y muy contento
Not too big and very easy to understand. There aren’t many mixers of this size that have 4 stereo channels! This is a great plus for this mixer as I bought it with the intention of using it for an Internet Radio Station. It has all I need for the application I will be putting it to. Great PFL for cueing vinyls. I cannot find anything bad to say about this machine. In summary – GREAT PIECE OF KIT WITH OOMPH! Highly recommended!
Se dite alla ricerca di un buon prodotto per serate Live, private e di alto livello, questo prodotto soddisfer le vostre esigenze. Facile, bello da usare e completo. Consigliato
Il prodotto perfetto ,sono contento delle sue funzioni, prezzo equo, ma non mi arrivata la fattura.Mi serve .cordiali saluti- Gianni Biolcati Rinaldi
Sono rimasto molto contento del Mixer in oggetto.L’ottima resa del segnale in uscita a livello professionale e gli effetti che si possono fare, lo rendono uno strumento indispensabile per chi ha bisogno di diversi ingressi per gestire le svariate modalit d’uso.Consigliatissimo
Just been my ideal mixer for a while to do the karaoke and DJ with i
Il Mix arrivato come dichiarato in perfetto stato e funziona benissimo. E’ per qualit e prezzo eccellente ed un mix compatto come deve essere.
Great mixer for the money! Bargain in my eyes. The control knobs are plastic and cheap but work well and the mixer doesn’t hum like my old one! More features than I’d need, awesome piece of ki
Beautiful mixer. Great tone quality. Lovely effects. Very nice recording result.
Devo ammettere che ancora non ho potuto testare il mixer in sala prove o in un concerto, ma per quel poco che ho potuto vedere e’ veramente un bel mixer soprattutto per la mofica cifra di circa 200E. Per quanto riguarda il venditore il rapporto e’ stato eccellente.
Perfetto come sempre lo consiglio un prodotto professionale si pu usare con vari tipi di casse compatibili e potenza elevata
This mixer is excellent. I’m used to professional desks and this little mixer sounds superb and it’s very versatile being suitable for both recording and live production. It’s also the perfect analogue mixer for internet radio stations. As it supports 4 mic and 4 stereo line inputs for music. It also has built in effects such as echo if you like that sort of thing!
I’m bewildered how they do it for the money, unbelievable value.
Por el precio de la Behringer X1622USB, esta mixer brinda buenas caractersticas, al menos para hacer broadcasting que es para lo que la utilizo principalmente. Acepta micrfonos con entrada Canon as como del tipo condensador, gracias a su amplificador Phantom.
This is a versatile mixer. I’ve been unlucky as two of the input ports have more than once required contact cleaning spray to eliminate crackling and dropout. The onboard FX especially Reverb/Delay are excellent. Certainly great value.
si, sono soddisfatto del prodotto, funziona bene, molto sensibile nella regolazione
questo un prodotto adatto a chi vuole iniziare
What can you say about the X1622USB mixer by Behringer, let’s start with love it, just what I wanted. I like the design and the feel of the faders is spot on for me. The slightest touch and the volume is reacting, perfect. It’s surprisingly light as well, there is a little weight to it, so you know you are holding it. But that being said you are not going to be walking around with it for long periods of time, and any operation will be done on a flat surface. The bite on the pots is just right so you know as you turn it you have definitely hit center, but not enough bite to create a click or have you accidentally turn too hard to move it. I could keep going, but you know what, just buy a Behringer and go for it. I know a number of people have had bad experiences, but hey it happens.
Love this mixer – I am in a covers band and it does a great job of mixing three vocal mics, snare and kick mics and Di from keyboards into our PA… and really easy to use.
Works, but now im upgrading to wireless digital which is the way to go. XR12 if you dont know
Item described and suits my needs perfectly. Behringer makes excellent products.
Perfect inexpensive podcast, v/o and production mixer. Plugs straight into the USB socket on your computer, and (with a little extra wire lightning male to USB female camera adaptor) will work directly into your iPad. Versatile FX and mic compression built in. Has phantom power for professional standard mics, and a headphone socket for closed monitoring of mix or playback. Will not drive loudspeakers directly without an amplifier. The best on the market for low budget but high quality audio work.
very good device, for what I do with it. delivery was very fast…….but was a bit disappointed about the fact that I received a unit with red LED display, meaning its an old first generation, latest has blue LED display less annoying in darkness (like it shows in picture). but was very please with it otherwise
I Keep Buying this Mixer…. This is my third one…. Why? Great Sound Easy To Use… very economical. My previous two were bought, taken and used for the season in Turkey and then sold for more than I paid for them to resident DJs there. Nuff said…
I like it.. Its ok.. I only use this for the audio interface..
Awesome love the mixer, worth the money, I can save my samples and all not lost when there is no power.
Behringer ist bekannt fr Super Mischpulte, dies ist eins davon. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Es istbereits mein zweites.Viel Spa beim Kaufe
Best compact USB analog mixer for the price! Get it while it lasts!
I use this mixer for pre recording shows for hospital radio.
I can say this is a very nice mixer, the mic gain is a nice future with the added pre / post fade, I also have used this mixer to do radio imaging,
only downfall is the software on the website is not good but this don’t affect the rating as I use mixpad for editing.
It has a nice 4 band EQ on all channels and a nice compressor on the first 4 XLR channels, the fx are a nice touch but can be over powering.
But I found to give it that extra rich sound on the mic ide recommend on using a DBX 286s Mic Processor as well.
There are so many futures on this mixer it is one of the best I have seen for the value, you will not be disappointed!
Used this a few times and looks good build quality. Just using this as a usb disco mixer at present to output my laptop music, but will give me flexibility to add samplers drum machine etc. Well pleased with the quality.
Used regularly at live gigs and handles 4 keyboards and a module in stereo and two mic inputs. Excellent sound quality (love the EQ) and while the onboard FX lack editing they’re good enough for vocal work without tweaking. I’ve had this unit a while now before I’ve got around to writing this so I can honestly say it’s a reliable bit of kit … capable of taking a knock or two on the road too.
Highly recommended, built to the usual high standard of Behringer.
Ich habe mir dieses Mischpult gekauft um fr Videoschnitt usw. Ton aufnehmen zu knnen. Dieses Mischpult hab ich wegen den positiven Tests gekauft und ich bin nicht enttuscht worden.
Ich hatte beim ersten anschliessen des Gertes ber USB an meinen PC nur einen anhaltenden sehr hohen Ton, der sich nur beenden lie indem ich den USB-Stecker wieder heraus zog. Im Internet stie ich darauf, dass das wohl ein “bekanntes” Problem sei, fand aber keine Lsung. Ich rief daraufhin bei dem Hndler “Musik Produktiv GmbH” an, der das Mischpult ber amazon verkauft hat. Die Lsung des Problems wird sich bestimmt einem Elektriker, Physiker, Tontechnikmeister erschliessen 😉 mir tat es das jedenfalls nicht. Ich sollte Mischpult und PC in einen Stromkreis hngen, ich hatte aus “Lasttechnischer” Sicht den PC komplett getrennt von Mischpult, Studiomonitoren, Monitoren und Co betrieben. Als ich beides in einen Kreis eingesteckt hatte, war das piepen kaum noch wahr zu nehmen und dann kam der Trick, bei dem ich erst dachte mein gegenber am Telefon wollte mich verppeln, ich solle den Netzstecker des Mischpultes um 180 Grad drehen und wieder einstecken…….hab ich gemacht…..seitdem hrt man kein piepen mehr, unglaublich.
Ich lasse mir gern als Kommentar auf diese Rezension einmal erklren wieso das funktioniert hat.
Fazit: Fr meine Zwecke, Ton und Musikschnitt fr Film am PC (iPad anschliessen etc. funktioniert ebenso einwandfrei) ist es ein sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhltnis. ber die technischen Feinheiten knnen sich gerne andere auslassen, davon hab ich keine Ahnung.
Well built, great sound quality and a great USB interface but note that it’s not a DAW controller. You can’t controll the faders and knobs in Logic, Cubase or Pro Tools. It’s simply a USB interface so you can record the sound directly from the Xenyx to your software.
I use mine for podcasting as well as making informational CD’s or MP3’s.
It’s simple to use and I have no complaints at all.
Have no qualms about this mixer for the money paid, crackles every now and then and doesn’t have the voice cancellation button but hadn’t looked properly and thought I was getting a better model for the same price (as the X1222USB).
Overall though its great.
but i will have to have new speakers now lol, so look out the wife is going bananas, the only down fall is i dont have a printer to get the info form behringer, but i will work it out thanks
he product is of excellent quality, it was what I expected. openly recommended. the excellent and lasting brand is very good
This arrived promptly, in great condition and as described. Very easy to set up and use. Acoustic guitar sounds great as well as iPod and mic.
I owned a behringer desk which had started to malfunction so I bought this slightly smaller desk I found the instrucions a bit sparse but worked it out in the end. Some good features which were not on the old desk 9Cmpressor on mic channels and an improved effects unit.
I have owned this mixer for around 3 months now, and so far my experience has been very positive.
I bought this as essentially I needed an easy way to combine the outputs of my keyboards, podXT, microphone and bass, largely for convenience. This mixer fits the bill very well, especially considering its low price point. The USB interface also makes it easy to record with, however keep in mind that as has been stated previously, the USB output only records the main out, so left + right channel.
My only complaint would be that the amplification is slightly noisy when turned up high – this could be resolved by using an external amplifier, which I intend to purchase at a later date.
One other issue – I’ve had some instability with the ASIO drivers and Windows 8 – a couple of bluescreens here and there, seems to have something to do with power saving mode and has also been reported with similarly priced M-Audio devices. I suspect one would need a good firewire interface to avoid this unfortunately. In fairness, I don’t have this problem with my Yamaha MOX6’s audio interface, however it isn’t really suitable for recording multiple instruments with, hence why I bought this mixer.
Overall, for the money it’s excellent – you won’t find something with more features for the price. Whilst it does have its limitations, often mixers which do feature multi-track USB recording, lower noise outputs and better drivers cost considerably more.
It Did not come with equalizer which I was expecting. I guess I should have gone with the USB1832. Thanks.
First time used this brand, loved it.
Used it for karaoke, my wife loved it too
It had USB connect, it very good to record for workshop, seminar.
Good size and shape to carry aground

This console is great, at first could not be installed to record the time course and achieved phenomenal
This is perfect for my work because it is doing the work perfectly thanks guys. I will really recommend friends
I have had this for a year now and I love the product. Build quality is very solid and design is excellent, sound quality out of board is very good and you have plenty of connections. The board makes everything easy to find which are all nicely illustrated. Product was very easy to install on the mac, i use many DAW software like Ableton, logic, garageband and Maschine which all work very well with the mixer when it comes down to the amount of inputs connected for you to manage. The downside and my biggest disappointment when it comes to this product is the fact that it does not allow you to do any multitrack /channel record to your software!! you can only record max, up to 2 channels at once!!, plus, you can’t really hear your previous recording ontop of what your record at once.
This product I think behringer has wrongly published on their website and not clearly state anywhere of the mixers limitations when it comes down to recording via usb. The product is excellent and am happy with it to manage my set but thats about it. I have my synth connected via stereo channels and 2 mics xlr and my guitar 1/4 channel and my drum I can only maschine but limited in terms to record. I recommend if you only want to manage your set but not if your after multitrack recording, best go for a firewire mixer.
The delivery service was excellent and you the mixer has plenty of effects and channel inputs in front and the back. I have my krk 5 connected easily at the back of the main and subs 1-2 also. Product is nicely sized, not too big but medium in size that will not take so much of your desk space.
I bought it from amazon.co.uk and am extremely happy with this mixer. Looks small but does the great job. I have been using it with Ekho amplifier and so far no problem at alll. I still have to see how it works with a condenser microphone but with other microphones it does it’s job very well.
Wie in der berschrift angegeben, ein sehr gutes Mischpult. Die Mikrofoneingnge, so wie auch alle anderen Eingnge kann man hell, dunkel stellen, mit Hall oder Echo mixen und die Schieberegler sind leichtgngig und werden bestimmt nicht so schnell defekt werden, weil das Gert einen soliden Eindruck macht und wie angegeben, mit hochwertigen Komponenten ausgestattet ist.
Wegen der fehlenden deutschen Betriebsanleitung msste ich eigentlich einen Punkt abziehen aber die Qualitt hat mich berzeugt.

Excellent mixer for the price.
Pros – great price, usb connectivity.
cons – effects are very plain, with only one editable parameter per effect.
Overall great sounding and nice freatures for the price.
I bought this mixer with a view to starting out with some simple podcasting – there are smaller versions available, but I deliberately bought the extra capacity for when my projects develop and become larger and more complex.
I’ve read reviews where people have slated these mixers for not having the stated number of channels, or such. It is a bit misleading. This has 4 mono inputs – XLR or balanced / unbalanced jack. Each of these gets 48V phantom power if you switch it on. There are then 5 stereo inputs (2 channels each) and a stereo subgroup. 4 + 10 + 2 = 16.
Each of the channel strips is well specified with gain and compression on the mono strips, 4 band EQ AUX / FX Send – mute, solo, sub.
Although you can send signals to off board effects processors, there is also an onboard unit with quite a range of effects.
Strictly, i suppose it’s a PA mixer or for recording single take performances.
I use mine with GarageBand and the output from the mixer comes into GB as a single stereo source. I record music and voice over separately on different GB tracks. A benefit of this mixer for me is that I can customise channel strips and leave them set, even though I might not be using them.
Any music tech student or home recording musician would do well to look at Behringer kit – you’ll get great quality at a great price.
Don’t be tempted though by the software package – much of the stuff is freeware and you probably have far better DAW / podcasting software already. If you use Mac OS X Lion, much of the free stuff won’t work anyway. The proprietary DAW package works well, but Macs have GarageBand which is far superior. Windows people, you’re also bound to have your favourite package also.
This product is ideal for the progessing music student or someone that wants to improve or explore their recording skills within a restricted budget. This product is versatile enough to be taken on gigs and give a really good sound for soloist or group performance. The size is ideal for most venues for those that are just starting out to do live perfomance.
I decided to replace my previous Berhinger Xenyx mixer 802, for this 1622USB. It was worth the investment. This model is increble.El sound is clear. Multiple configuration options. Great capacity. The effects are very good. I recommend it.
Very happy with mixer easy set and it have a USB port so I can hook it up my computer.
