Yo buscaba una ms grande pero creo que ya no las hacen de 32 entradas, pero est me gust mucho.
Trs bon produit avec un trs bon son. Avantage notoire, la table peut servir d’interface audio pour enregistrer avec un DAW
El producto est perfecto, mucho mejor en costo-beneficio a otros de menor costo, sin embargo recomiendo tener cuidado con el transporte, la caja estaba un poco golpeada y por algn momento dude que el producto estuviera bien, sin embargo estaba perfecto. Creo que no hay nada como lo anlogo para tener control total en tus transmisiones.
Muy buen sonido…y espero que sea una buena inversi
I’m so pleased with this mixer only had it for 2 days and the sound quality is awesome perfect for our church world recommend to anyone looking for good sound and lots of functions and geate eq
Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhltnis. Wenn er noch lange hlt, habe ich einen guten Kauf gemacht.
Prodotto economico ma funzionale e di buona qualit, con il giusto settaggio ha un ottimo suono.
Works well. Nice mixer. Replaced my X2222 that I let get dusty. Still the X2222 lasted 10 years. I like the Behringer products – I have 8 mixers and signal processors.
I’ve been using Mackie and Yamaha, but I’ve seen almost no benefits from either Mackie or Yamaha over the Behringer, and I suspect the other features from the Behringer will be worth well more than the savings.
Simple, functional, what more can you ask for, for this dorra bukoo.
Excelente producto, lleg en tiempo y en buenas condiciones. Recomendado al 100
Hi myself I am Gangadhar, I am from South India. I had taken this mixer in 2016 from Amazon, they had imported from UK. Till date this is working perfectly, we use this mixer in our church.
Die Qualitt des Mischers ist viel besser als erwartet. Aus Zeiten der Arbeit mit Behringer im Analogen musste man hier und da Abstriche machen. (Es rauschte gerne) Hier ist dies nicht mehr festzustellen. Ich selber nutze das Pult im Homestudio quasi als Interface zu meiner DAW. Das Pult macht was es soll und dies sehr berzeugend. Leider stehen durch USB “nur” zwei Kanle zum digitalen Aufzeichnen zur Verfgung. Nutzt man die analogen Ausgnge kann dies natrlich durch eine Soundkarte kompensiert werden.
I liked this unit because of its versatility and easy to use. The price was very good and affordable.
It’s a good mixer & when I can use it properly, I’ll let you know
PIECE OF JUNK , SECOND ONE AFTER RETURNING FIRST ONE . After using few times still still rocking
Everything you need for a In home studio with great built in effects.
This is my 3rd Behringer Xyenx….upgraded time this model and has more features than the others that come in handy when recording (the direct ‘outs’ for each channel) and the extra monitor ‘send’ makes live gigs easier for members to get their own mix.
bought it at great price was 150 dollars off so good but paying full among i would buy allen and heath or signature 12
Great sound mixer, still kicking like new. reasonable price, Will you keep you in mind for more future purchase.
When I found myself playing rhythm guitar in a nine-piece band, I needed as many channels as possible in a rack-mountable board. This, to my knowledge, is the largest rack-mountable board made by Behringer. Each time I buy a new board of theirs, it’s not because there is something wrong with the one I have, I simply need more channels or subgroups.
I mounted this board directly into the top panel of my SKB case. I like that it has a light socket on the top although I was a little irritated that it didn’t come with a gooseneck light. The USB recording functionality is cool, making this board worthy of being used in a recording application as well.
I’ve always found the Behringer boards are sturdy and produce quality sound at a price much less than other brands of similar quality. I highly recommend this, and any other Behringer board that suits your requirements in size or the number of channels, subgroups, or any other parameter.
This is a magnificent piece of hardware that I generally use at home to enhance my audio collection, especially mp3 audio format. I have seen similar products with much higher price range.
I really love this product.
This Behringer soundboard is a good soundboard and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to use this particular model it works grea
Very well made. Knobs and buttons are all smooth and sturdy. This is just as good quality as other higher priced brands. Very very satisfied.
The effects are great. Tried guitar and keyboard and they all sound great.
No problems so far.
Thumbs up.
There is alot of mixer for the price. Very good noise threshold with it. I use it with lots of synths. Effects are not bad but not the best but a small plus. Behringer’s reputation for making faulty equipment with poor quality control is completely unfounded. Likely put around by competitors who fear their competitive advantage. I have a lot of behringer gear. In all the years of buying the gear I have only ever had to return one effects pedal. The replacement has worked ever since perfectly. This is a very well made mixer with good components there’s nothing cheap about it. The compressors are subtle for inflating the volume per channel.
Good quality faders and dials, excellent range of control. Haven’t tried fx yet. Banging value.
It’s a great little mixer for the price. The effects are a bit anemic and VERY basic. That being said, I’m enjoying this one!
For an Analog board, this thing is tops. It has a lot of extras that normally show up on mixers that cost a lot more. Would recommend this to anyone needing a very user-friendly and dependable sound board. Does a lot more than it appears to do.
Everything is great but my wireless microphone interacts with it oddly when turned off dangerous static feedback comes through channel
Wow, what a great mixer. Best bang for your buck available.
A great product for the money. Has many features of more high-end boards. I have found Behringer to be the choice for affordable reliable sound equipment.
I bought this for my church. I have used Behringer products before for pro studio and live use, so I knew what to expect — i.e., nothing really fancy but good sound at a decent price. This replaced a prior version of this Behringer mixing board that was approaching a decade of service (mind you, only used once a week on Sundays). For simple applications like this you can’t go wrong for the money. NB: We don’t use the effects at all and am not recommending those. I have always found that the effects processors that are built-in to boards don’t sound very good. For effects I would recommend an out-board processor. My 5-star rating is just for the mixing components of this products such as the faders, connectors, and clarity of the sound (i.e., lack of noise).
Very nice mixer, have done some preliminary tests and should work perfectly for my intended use. It may have more features than I need, but I’d rather have too much than too little.
I use this mixer for my podcast, and I am using the aux sends to do mix-minus setups which I output to PCs and iOS devices running Skype via the microphone jack on the PC and iOS devices. This way with each Skype caller on their own mix, I can take the output of those individual Skype instance and run them as inputs into the mixer. I send both the stereo main mix to my Zoom H6 recorder and also the direct outputs for each input to the recorder as well on their own tracks, so I have both a pre-canned mix for my convenience and also individual track recordings in case I need to tweak something specific (a caller forgets to use the mute button, for example). I run a sub mix containing all inputs except my own voice, and send that to the headphone monitor, so I don’t have to deal with hearing my own voice.
The only minor negatives about this mixer are:
1) You can’t configure input levels for the USB input (you must adjust them with the output level on the device that is using the mixer as an output device)
2) You can only route the main mix to the USB output. It would be nice if you could configure it to take one of the aux sends or one of the sub mixes.
3) Level indicators seem to be set for a really high output level. Even though my recorder is set to handle line level outputs, by the time the level indicators on the mixer register much of anything, the levels on the recorder are pinned to the max and clipping. Not ideal, but not difficult to deal with as I just go by the level indicators on the recorder instead.
Those are only minor complaints though. Really this mixer can do just about anything you would want a mixer to do.
My only worry is using the UK Voltage adaptor instead of the UK Power supply built in.The equipment i am happy with for my requirements.Thanks for your help
Solid, Functional board. Tons of ways to use Optional equipment.
Very simple mixer with great built in effects. We use this for our youth room in our church and couldn’t be happier with the mixer.
functions better than we thot it did… the software that came with is ‘ridiculous’ in a good way!!… awesome bang for the buck with this unit. wink… – DTM
Great board. Many good features for an excellent price. If you need a light weight portable gig mixer that has some reasonably good features. This one is nice. Effects are nice, built in compressors are a great idea. Can’t beet the portability and value per cost.
ice bit of kit in my studio, shame it cant make tea though, very pleased with it no problems
Great it works very well for what I needed. Thanks
Proved quite reliable so far. Replaced a unit that was damaged by rainwater leaking through the roof.
Wow!! I’m very happy with this product at this price. Is the second that I bought in one year. I am using for Internet radio station. Is easy to use and setup. I recommended widely.
Easy to operate, manual could explain the “effects” better. Took a little time to understand but once we mastered it we were quite surprised at its abilities.
Once you read the manual and a few helpful websites so you can master the basic controls, this mixer is awesome. The stereo USB input into my Mac works without any driver needed. Behringer only supplies free softrware for Windows users, so Mac people are left to install Audacity and other audio software for themselves. No big penalty. Not a big surprise either, but too bad though, they advertise Mac compatibility, then completely ignore the software side for a large percentage of media creators.
IT IS VERY VERSATILE WE PRODUCE JINGLES AND ID;s PLUS IF NEEDED COMMERCIALS.
Love it! Works great for live venues and recording studios. Not bulky and very light. Portable yet sleek. Easy to operate.
The simple review i s this I play in a band and we were using 2 small boards to play gigs. Now we use this board and it does everything and more. the effects are also very good on the board as well as the INPUTS.
Extremely quiet mike pre-amps and a host of knobs and whistles to satisfy
The home studio or small band or theatre group.
Exceptional vale for money and of durable construction.
Always check that the number of outputs is true to what you require; we bought the smaller model first not realising that a lot of the ‘outputs’ were in fact stereo, so we didn’t have enough and had to upgrade to this. Behringer are the best make, no doubt about it.
I will admit that I had my doubts about the “one knob” compression at first but it not only works, it works well.
This is just one of many Behringer products that I own.
excellent equipment and shipped in perfect conditions thanks amazon!! 😀 initially i was looking for something good for a home made recording studio then i realized it was perfect for live sound!! 😀
Gert sehr gute fr Hobby Musiker verwenden und Einstellung viel Mglichkeit verwenden und sehr groe Gert fr Privat Anwender nicht mglich
-The eq is a little sensitive, and the mid sweep is an awesome feature.
-IF YOU ARE GETTING THIS FOR THE USB; It only sends two tracks through USB. I was hoping this would be an inexpensive alternative to a Projectmix IO, But it is not.
-There is sowftware drivers for it, and dialing in the latency can get tricky, But i just hardlined out to a USB interface. Works flawlessly, and I get two output sources for the mix.
I purchased this mixer primarily as a pickoff between band’s mics and instruments and their PAs so I can capture 4 or 8 channels of audio with Zoom recorders. I have used it on two shoots and the results are outstanding. For larger groups I anticipate using the submix capability to mix groups of voices/instruments.
Wasn’t sure what to think of this mixing board when I ordered it. We do a podcast and we needed more XLR and 1/4 inputs and we need to bus some signals from multiple computers and other misc devices. This board is really great for us. We can have up to 10 mics/xlr’s hooked up at a time. It gives easy volume control, sfx and other options. It has also just made our show sound a lot more crisp. It has also helped the sound of our prerecorded sound bites, promos, intros and our guests music (live or MP3’s).
We have only been using it for 3 weeks and we have many more functions to learn and use. I also like how all 10 mic inputs are phantom power. So now I can go buy more Condenser Mics to improve our sound even more. Another nice feature for us podcasting is that we can easily add a phone line to this mixer and get great sound. We will now be able to have a phone system and we are excited about this. Our sound engineer is very happy with this device.
I bought this unit to replace an 11 year old Mackie that took a lightening strike. With the Mackie we had some problems with signal levels into our CD recorder. The Behringer does not suffer that problem. I can balance all the channels and get plenty of signal into the CD recorder. There is plenty of signal from the SUB outs as well as the AUX sends. The unit also provides some simple effects such as reverb on the AUX 3 channel which is useful to us when our guitarist plays on Sundays. Overall this is a great unit for the price.
