XENYX 1204USBThe compact XENYX 1204USB mixer allows you to effortlessly achieve premium-quality sound, thanks to its 4 onboard studio-grade XENYX Mic Preamps and ultra-musical âBritishâ channel EQs. Add to this our easy-to-use âone-knobâ compressors, which provide total dynamic control for the ultimate in punch and clarity, while respecting all the power and emotion you pack into every note â and the 1204USB becomes an incredibly versatile mixer for your live performances. But the XENYX 1204USB isnât 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 the built-in USB/audio interface, the 1204USB 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 PreampsThe XENYX 1204USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over the world. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology â 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, the XENYX 1204USB provides such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you werenât looking. | One-Knob CompressionAsk professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous â dynamic compression. What is compression? Weâre 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 âone-knobâ 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 â but standard on the XENYX 1204USB mixer. | Sublimely Musical British EQThe British consoles of the 1960s and â70s changed the sound of rock and roll â 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. |

Lleg la fecha indicada, todo en orden, y funciona muy bien, excelente compra!
Trying to start a podcast like everyone else. Chose this one over the Yamaha because of the four preamps instead of just two. Have two co-hosts so each according to their needs. I’m very amateur at this but found the board easy to learn and set up. Could have probably done with a cheaper setup but the price was good and allowed for expansion. Good sound with Q2U mic and HPX2000 headphones.
It does what it’s supposed to, could be better by having dedicated usb in and usb out.
I have a couple mics, keyboards and guitar. The mixer is small enough it doesn’t take up much desk space and the USB interface is really what I got it for – I used to have a 2 input USB interface and got tired of switching cables. Also, the built in compressor is an excellent feature – as is the eq.
Ich bin begeistert und erstaunt, fr wie wenig Geld man einen brauchbaren Mixer bekommt. Sicherlich gibt es Besseres aber fr ein kleines Projektstudio ist dieser Mixer absolut ausreichend. Durch seine kompakte Bauweise begngt er sich mit wenig Platz auf dem Schreibtisch. 5 Sterne, da es fr den Preis nichts besseres gibt. Man sollte sich allerdings vorher genau Gedanken machen, ob der Umfang fr den jeweiligen Gebrauch ausreichend ist und prfen, ob man mit den Beschrnkungen (keine Inserts, 2x 2 Stereo-Busse, etc.) klarkommt. Zu empfehlen.
Sound quality can be fairly grainy by itself but great board for the price. Would buy agai
Love it, just perfect for me as a dj who does small/medium discos and raves…
Its overkill really, I don’t use half the stuff on it.
Only XLR output no choice. Tough casing. Controle knob
/slider locations good. Sliders for house good. Recording to laptop good
Ottimo, molto leggero, alimentatore incorporato e un sacco di funzioni utilissime, a partire dal mute su ogni canale all’interfaccia in/out USB senza dover ricorrere ad altri metodi tipo Behringer UCA202.
Passaggio da un mixer da 80 a questo: abissale.
Super consigliato!
Great deal and monitor. My computer doesn’t like to find it and my software but that’s on me and windows 10 issue. As a stand-alone mixer you can’t beat it. Many options to plug in speakers mics or instruments. At this price you can’t do better.
Easy for the students to learn to use a soundboard for the first time.
The microphone amps are so quiet, no hiss or any other sound at all. Reverb is effective if not overused. USB interface is high quality, but works better is you install ASIO drivers first.
Schnelle Lieferung , doch leider nicht ganz i.o.. Reklamation , binnen krzester Zeit bekam ich Ersatz.
Funktioniert tadellos. Schner Mischer fr den Preis fast schon zu schn und zu gut.
Love the build quality, the ease of use and works perfectly
I work for Disney, and this mixer has been great!
The techs that work in my show could tell the difference from my last mixer.
I just needed two stereo inputs to add ahead of my other larger mixer for audience mics into a live streamed audio program. I needed to add the audience without going to the house speakers.
wenig rauschen, einfach zu bedienen, gute Verarbeitung, wird nicht warm
war am Anfang so dumm mein Handy in einen Mic-Input einzustpseln, hab den Fehler dann erkannt und ales war bestens
kann das Produkt nur empfehle
Prodotto molto ben costruito. Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Molto comodo l’alimentatore integrato. Funziona benissimo. Sono molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto. Arrivato in anticipo sulla data prevista per la consegna. Consigliato per piccoli impianti audio da studio ma anche da palco
I bought this to use for internet radio broadcasts. Reasonably easy to set up but I did have to look at a few u tube videos. Working well so far.
Good hardware mixer and actually runs on Linux. Awesome board!
It configures with PC smoothly but after connecting there are only two USB outs available. Hence Multitrack recording is possible only for two tracks. Presuming that it is a 12 channel mixer I thought that I can record each channel separately (at least six) but my money is wasted.
It is just an ordinary mixer having two output i.e. Left and Right that’s all.
So, I bought this with the intention of Live Streaming on the PS4. Works GREAT! I was using another USB mixer but within a week or so of having it, the pots on one of the 3 channels went on strike and quit working. I only really use 2 channels anyway so I wasn’t too bent about it, although the annoyance did catch up with me and I bought the 1204usb. Couldn’t be happier. It sounds great on stream and can be setup for taking calls using the typical aux send/return method for creating mix-minus. Now, with that said, I haven’t directly hooked it up to my computer so, I can’t comment on the way it sounds while recording directly to the computer, unfortunately. But, if you’re a streamer or plan to be… this works just right for PS4 (not sure about the XBOX though but I’m sure it would work).
We bought this to have more control for our church Facebook feed. We have a few sub-outs from our 32 channel mixer plus a couple of independent auditorium mics feeding this mixer. Via the USB feeding a nice clean signal to the computer and a separate video, we are getting bunches of compliments on how good the sound is since we put this in place. With a headphone, the balance of everything can be adjusted independently form the main auditorium sound. So far it’s been great.
This mixer is exactly the upgrade I needed. 4 XLR inputs, easy sliders and USB output. Best value for money mixer on the market IMO.
I really thought all mixers had FX included. I was wrong. It really is not the mixer’s mistake but mine. I bought it and realized afterwards that I had to have external FX loops to get FX. That sucks, as I only want some basic reverb, nothing fancy… I wished the description had it more clear that this unit is a barebone mixer without FXs… But the sound is crisp and clear and totally sounds pro! Way better than an electronic noisy setup
Perfect. Sadly had to return it. But got same one from store since I need it asap. In the first unit i got the Compression on 2 of the mics was not working properly. Just make sure to test everything just in case.
Il mixer risulta molto performante, con ottime qualit e regolazioni. Utile sia per uso personale che professionale per esempio per DJ in feste o live con un paio di strumenti musicali. Molto utile anche la porta USB che permette di registrare in tempo reale tutta la live del mixer! Sono molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto!
It does what it is supposed to do. I use it for live audio streaming for worship services. However I have connection issues with the line in jacks on all the quarter inch jacks when using various audio cables/adapters
I purchased this because I bought a new capture card for a 2nd pc which is a dedicated video recording and streaming pc.
I needed something that would allow for 1 mic and headset, since I didn’t want to be using 2 mic’s and headset’s as it’s just a hassle to line the audio up as it would mean recording audio on both pc’s.
I watched some YouTube videos on how to get around this and found a video of someone doing exactly what I wanted to do using this, and it works really well.
It is overkill really just for what I use it for but it allows me to connect more audio sources in the future if I need to which is always helpful.
I am still trying to figure out all the right settings and stuff which for a audio novice like me is going to take a while but I would rather try to work things out myself rather than asking for help.
So if you are a budding YouTube video creator or Live Streamer and decide to use 2 PC’s for it, then this will help alot and is well worth the money.
I am very happy with it, as one other bonus is that I like to listen to my music loud in my headphones and this will push them higher than my pc can which is awesome for the type of music I listen to.
I’m a traveling musician and studio owner. This made my life simpler. I can set up and run a line to the sound booth and I’m good to go.
Lo uso come mixer di palco personale dove “mixo” i suoni del mio strumento con il click e i suoni che mi arrivano dal sequencer principale. Ottima la qualit e il rapporto con il prezzo. Un po’ “ciccione” in spessore e pesante per la scelta di non ricorrere all’alimentatore esterno ma questa scelta evita il classico groviglio di scatolette per terra vicino alla ciabatta della 220. Consigliato.
Sounds very nice. It’s a bit difficult to learn to use and the manual is only a little help. I’m enjoying using the equipment very much. Sounds great and I’m getting great results.
Sehr zufrieden.
Hatte mich fr ein kleines Behringer Mischpult auf Grund der Behringer Qualitt entschieden.
Hatte vorher schon 2 andere Mischpulte beide ein paar Jahre in Betrieb und wollte jetzt einen Schritt nach vorne machen und keine Kompromisse mehr eingehen.
Fr meinen Bedarf habe ich alle Ein – und Ausgnge die ich bentige, Phono fehlt aber dafr gibt es einen Adapter.
Habe fr private Feste, einen Doppel CD Player, einen Laptop und ein Tablett angeschlossen, zuhause im Keller, statt Laptop einen Technics Plattenspieler ber Phono Vorverstrker angeschlossen.
Die Schieberegler sind griffig und gut einstellbar.
Die Drehregler sind trotz meiner dicken Finger gut zu bedienen.
Verarbeitung und Qualitt sind sehr gut, wie ich sie von professionellen Behringer Gerten gewohnt bin.
Works fantastic with the new MacBook pro (2017 and later). USB interface is the best- if you are looking gat different sound mixers, find a usb interface so you don’t need tons of cords and adapters to hook up to a computer. You will only need a small usb to usb c adapter for the new MacBook pro.
I am using the mixer with 3 Neewer pics with XLR cables. Sound is fantastic and the board allows me to really customize everything. I recommend this- it is insane for the price.
This is a great mixer for small applications. I’m a professional broadcast-audio engineer and have been for almost 40 years. We use this for a show host to broadcast from his home studio. We also add up to three guests via the mixer. Very durable and dependable. I love Behringer products.
Perfect for my home studio; I was previously using an older Mackie mixer, but it is showing its’ age now and I needed something a bit more reliable for recording, mixing, and mastering. This is the item which best suits those needs for me presently, and it’s got a small footprint, too, leaving me room for other gear. I don’t use the USB function, but when I did, I found that the only controls which work are the master faders (channel faders do not). Even the EQ is bypassed in USB mode. So this mixer should be purchased for analogue mixing purposes, with that in mind.
I couldn’t be happier with this mixer board. For the price it absolutely crushes it for our podcast – great sound, simple to use and really powerful. If you are just starting out and need a quality board on a budget, I would highly recommend this one for you.
I was hoping to use this to record on my laptop. For that purpose it’s not so good, you can only get mono 2 channels, left and right. It will record the master but if you want to record your vocals, guitar, drums etc. on separate tracks, go for something like the Behringer U-Phoria audio/midi interface instead. I will say the build quality is great, it feels like a much more expensive mixer. If you’re just wanting to have an amplified jam with your buddies or you’re setting up in a pub with a couple of people, this thing will work perfectly for you.
This model has been out for a while, but I needed something that was cost efficient to help me have multi-channels for recording interviews for my radio show/podcast in my home studio. It gives me the ability to have in-studio conversations, take phone calls, and EQ my vocals in a better way then when I was recording straight to my Tascam recorder. That said, my biggest issue is the power cable. If you jiggle the cord, it will pop out. So I have to protect it and be gentle when making connections in the back. It’s a very loose connection, which is disappointing, and keeps me from giving it a higher rating. Otherwise, for my needs, it works perfectly! If you’re looking for low key mixing through a board, this ain’t bad.
I use this for a podcast and it got everythign I need plus more. I’m not a technical individual in the audio world but I found this easy to use for recording with a laptop and controlling sound levels. I have guests on my podcast and it has inputs for four XLR mics and phantom power for my condensor mics, it also has other inputs if required but probably something for more technical people. Its not very big but taking up only a bit of space on the table and it appears reasonably well built, still working after being accidently dropped twice. It’s probably more than I needed for what I’m doing but now I’ve got it I’m glad I bought it, particularly for the price.
I had a smaller Behringer mixer that I bought second hand and I absolutely loved it. This mixer brings the same standard of excellence to the table (or desktop in this case) and i could not be more thrilled with it.
I’ve been using this now for a couple of months and it works well. Good sound quality, worth the money.
Good equipment. Could of used a more through instruction manual. Overall pleased.
Einer der besten Mischpulten von behringer!!
Ich empfehle es jeden anderen super und einfach zu bedienen! Einfach bestes Gert fr Musiker.
eally great value for the money, really good mixer, very happy with my purchase
Product beauty … should have provided with a protective bag for its safety & damage control 🙂
We recently purchased this to serve as the main mixer for our internet radio show & podcast. We have 3 regular hosts + 1 guest in each segment, so the 4 XLR mic inputs are perfect for our needs.
Using the stereo inputs and various aux outputs, we also play music from a PC and have mix-minus setup to take phone and skype calls via a smartphone. All of this then goes via the USB port to our streaming/recording PC (the same one that’s playing our music). On top of all that, we have the headphone output connected to a small Behringer HA400 headphone amp so that all 4 of us get to hear the main mix.
We use dynamic mics, but the desk does provide Phantom Power if you want to use condenser mics.
The only thing that this mixer is missing, in my opinion, is a dedicated PFL (pre fader listen) button for checking input gain on the VU before setting the slider volume (I think the next model up the spec chain has this), but there is a MUTE/alternative output button on each channel, so it’s really not bad for such a low price piece of kit.
Overall, we’re delighted with it and it has worked perfectly since we got it.
I got this for a 5 person podcast I was hoping to put together and so far it has been working well. The 4 main inputs work great with the relatively inexpensive microphones I got (Xm1800s) and that part was pretty easy to get done. Also on the easy side of things is the USB connection to my laptop I am using as my recording device.
As for the other 4 channels I don’t quite get how they work. Right now I don’t have any instruments to input to it or other devices for that matter. I thought with the phantom power it comes with I could use my cheap little gaming mic’s but for some reason I can’t get them to show up at all. I have tested them on the laptop by themselves and it works as good as usual.
Even being limited to my other 4 microphones it is working really quite well.
Its working great still haven’t figured out the efx yet but its grea
So far, so good. I haven’t pushed this very hard yet to get a full take on it, but it works well for the podcasts that I do.
After 2 days of use…..GREAT! My first USB mixer. The sound is way better then other options :). Everything just works grea
Capabilities are amazing for the size and price! Second Behringer product we have acquired, and not disappointed at all !
This mixer is BEAUTIFUL. Works like a charm. Has all of the inputs and outputs that I need.
USB function is excellent.
For a 4-mic group twitch setup I don’t see how we could do much better than this. Very pleased with the sound quality. USB output seems low (gain and levels have to be almost all the way up for vocals) but I believe that is a Windows driver issue and is fixable if you’re comfortable with operating third party software to adjust PC input gain.
The manual confused me for a bit because it contains instructions for both the 1204USB and X1204USB, which have different features.
J’ai achet cette table de mixage pour mon fils qui fait de la musique “lectro”,il en est pleinement satisfait,il a pu raccorder ces diffrents appareils.
For the price, this is a work horse. Perfect for mixing in a small venue.
Ich habe das Behringer nun 2 Monate in Gebrauch und ich muss sagen, es ist einfach der Hammer.
Ich mchte es nicht mehr missen wollen, also empfehle ich es wirklich weiter.
Es ist zwar sehr gro, aber du kannst auch damit “alles” einstellen, was du einstellen willst.
Ich bin echt mehr als berzeugt von dem Ding und es ist im Moment das beste, was es gibt. 😀
Fantastic budget level board. We use it for a live webcast and for recording podcasts. It would be nice to be able to assign the USB input to the sub outs instead of just headphones or mains, but it is less than $200.
Should be noted that it cannot record to separate tracks for each input – Behringer DOES offer mixers that do this, but this is not one of them.
That said, the sound quality is EXCELLENT, power management is good, and the ability to adjust one’s audio through the mixer itself allows you to record at your best without software editing. Very solid build, high-quality components. Despite my initial disappointment, very pleased with my purchase!
Great little mixer, perfect for jam sessions in the house.
I’m starting my own radio show and this is perfect for getting started.
Only after I received this item did I find out I could’ve ordered the 1204USB FX for the same price. A little bummed about that fact. Otherwise this board performs well and provides clean signal for both home recording and live performance
Easy to use. Simple Plug and Play on my iMac. I love the fact that I don’t have to know what all of the settings are or what all of the buttons do. The sound on my podcasts is awesome as well. Highly recommended
We needed to upgrade the Hot Hitz Radio mixer. We needed the AUX sends to properly work a Telos ONE which places listener phone calls on the air. Our old mixer did not have this option so it was time to upgrade. This is a great mixer and the price was really good if you are on a budget. We use this mixer in a studio.
I wanted a focusrite for a while now and this blows it out of the water in my opinion you won’t find another USB audio interface that has as many knobs, faders, or inputs as you get with this especially for this price range….
This is a great mixer! Does what it does, and doesn’t produce much noise that I can tell. For the price you can’t beat it.
Great mixer, loaded with features. It has most of the bells and whistles of a full-sized professional mixer, but in a smaller package, and with an excellent price! Features I like include trim on all mono channels, EQ for all channels, mute for all channels, and separate headphone and control room volumes. Seems to be a solid mixer, and is working very well for my application.
The only problem was that the effects didn’t really do much effect wise to my voice, but overall great product, highly recommend.
This isn’t the very best mixer money can buy.
That being said, I use it in my edit suite, so I can control the sound from my mac and an iPod, and phonograph. The USB connectivity makes it easy for me to plug in a microphone and record scratch tracks when necessary. Also, it’s easy for me to capture audio from vinyl or other analog sources.
I’ve enjoyed using this mixer, and for my purposes it sounds great. No, it isn’t the very best mixer money can buy. But sometimes the very best isn’t necessary.
Der Mixer wird von uns sowohl im kleinen Heimstudio ber einen PC genutzt als auch als “live”-Mixer ohne PC verwendet.
Ein wichtiger Punkt zur Auswahl war die Mglichkeit Monitor-Lautsprecher und Kopfhrer getrennt regeln zu knnen und den eigenen Gesang auf die Kopfhrer aufmischen zu knnen. Alle Mikrofoneingnge haben separate Vorverstrker – das macht es einfach unsere unterschiedlichen Mikrofone abzugleichen. Wir haben bei unserem alten dynamischen Mikrofon den Vorverstrker stark hochregeln mssen – dabei kam ein ebenfalls starkes Rauschen dazu. Inzwischen haben wir ein hochwertiges Kondensatormikrofon im Betrieb, bei dem der Vorverstrker nur geringfgig verstrken muss. Seitdem haben wir kein hrbares Rauschen mehr.
Die Anbindung am PC war etwas mhselig, da keine Angabe und vollstndige Beschreibung ber die Installation des USB-Treibers beilag – auch keine CD/DVD o..
Alles in Allem macht das Gert fr diesen Preis einen sehr guten Eindruck.
Von zuknftigen Erkenntissen werde ich berichten …
Taking me awhile to get get use to it but so far it works great for a podcast studio tried doing a podcast with out one and it was nothing but trouble this is a great buy for the price
Works perfectly for all the applications I’ve used it for. It’s small enough to be transported well enough, but powerful enough to support our weekly 4-person podcast. We are also expanding to more hosts on occasion and I will be able to accomodate them without too much difficulty or additional equipment. Overall, I’ve been getting excellent results.
I am an amateur solo recording artist and purchased this as an interface for my acoustic/electric instruments and it does a phenomenal job. For the price, it does it’s job very well, but I think my next purchase might be something that is capable of multi track recording. This model only has stereo/2-channel output through either RCA, 1/4″ jack, or USB. It met all of my expectations, and came in handy when I needed a device with phantom power for my new mic.
I ordered the Behringer X1204USB because I have one. I returned the one I ordered from you because the Clip Lights would not go out.
It was more then we expected. Some of the directions took some time to figure ou
I decided to upgrade my speakers to some entry level audio monitors as I do a lot of editing and film work. I also wanted some decent speakers for general listening too. As I have a number of inputs such as Desktop, Laptop, PS3 and occasionally others, I thought i’d get a Mixer as it would be handy for handling multiple inputs, adjusting the sound and it would look really cool on my desk!
This works great for me and was great for under 100, I considered a number of cheaper and smaller ones but this has a whole lot more channels and features than the lower end ones for not much more money.
I would have liked it to have had another stereo channel or two but that’s no problem as I use 3 & 4 together for my Desktop and still have 2 channels to plug in Microphones for recording. You can also use the FX and Aux Returns as extra stereo channels if you don’t need them for anything else.
Great audio quality from this and the build quality is decent, the USB interface can be used to record your Main Mix or as a Sound input into the 2 Track. I use it all the time to record voiceovers and other bits and it works great with Adobe Audition and Audacity.
Great features and quality for the price! Has worked brilliantly for my home edit suite setup.
I would recommend to people who are looking for a basic mixer for home setups, small live events/functions. Musicians maybe wanting to record vocals and instruments with XLR mics. You aren’t able to record channels separately over USB as it all goes through the main mix so you won’t have individual control over your levels in post unless you record them separately but it’s great if you want to record music, voiceovers etc…
Amazing bit of kit. Works good with windows 78.1. Good for a small studio.
I use this mixer to do on-the-fly, realtime mixing for a live Internet radio show. I can’t say enough good things about this piece of hardware. I use it to mix my music, microphones, and telephone. The USB main output makes sending the final mix to the broadcast software a breeze. It has the perfect balance of inputs and buses for me, and it’s easy to set up and operate. I don’t know how anyone can do what I do without one of these.
Couldn’t be happier with this soundboard. It’s everything I had hoped and expected it to be. Easy to use and lots of tutorials online.
This mixer gave me the ability to create professional sounding recordings from my limited home “studio”. Excellent if you use Adobe Creative Suite and Dreamweaver to build web-content and need to be able to create and mix professional-sounding audio. Also really good for creating audio to embed in eLearning when building in Captivate 8 or Storyline 2. Pairs nicely with these microphones (set of 3) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJ2TIE/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_7
This mixer will take your sound to the next level. Four pre-amps, British EQ, many input and output jacks. Not built for rough use, but for a studio mixer it is great! Makes my $20 mic sound good and my $150 mic sound awesome! Turn up the base for that radio announcer effect. Best of all, a simple USB attaches it to your computer. Great starter mixer that will be all that 99% of people will Ever need
My grandson was very pleased with his mixer! It was what he needed to begin to begin his music venture. Quality of product was excellent!
I love this mixer! I think it is perfect in every way except one – it’s 16bit only!
I am so disappointed this this wasn’t clearly stated in the specs as everything else about it is spot on.
Behringer have done a fantastic job designing this but really need to update the DSP. If all budget computer motherboards are 24bit capable these days then this, as a professional recording device, should be too.
If you only need 16bit for your recordings then it is a great small format mixer.
Right now I’m debating the extra cost of the UFX1204 as quite honestly there is nothing else on the market that comes close to this little baby’s price/performance and it is the only one in Behringers’ range that has it’s 24bit specs clearly stated.
It’s going to be hard to send this back.
Bought the mixer for a jazz trio for keys, bass and vocal. Really easy and simple to understand and has a ample number of in/out for the small set up including flexible post or pre aux outs (however being one of each and not changeable was slightly annoying).The EQ and compression are a great feature too. As it was for jazz, I went for this model without the on-board effects but it is something to consider for the genre of music.
The mixer itself is well built and substantial and feels good quality. The USB feature is great, however only has one out track (the master) so you cant have separate USB recording tracks.
I would recommend this to any small band of about three people looking for a high quality mixer for a good price. Highly recommended product.
This mixer provides an excellent modern replacement for my over 25 year old Phonic mixer for home recording.
Clearly labeld and intuitive controls make this a pleasure to use. My only improvement would be to move the headphone output to the back or side, so that the cable does not trail over the controls. This is an annoying but minor problem which is easily overlooked in view of the quality and price of this item.
I has been easy to move from a Tascam tape mixer to this. There is one 1204USB with in built digital effects which is more expensive. I have connected this to my PC and use cakewalk software. Sounds great.
good in general – the only fault it has it that the PC digital input goes directly to the main bus and there is NO independant level control.
Bought this Behringer 1204USB mixer as a xmas/birthday present for my hi-tech minded son… and he loved it! USB connection in particular, he said, was a great surprise, a cherry on top of the quality of the mixer. So I guess it is really a great product!
I use this to record classical guitar, and it’s great, it’s easy to use and connects straight to your computer, still getting used to it but overall it is great, it has a bit if weight into it so it feels solid, would re come t this to anyone starting off recording that are planning to use 4 or less microphones
i just test out this mixer and I love it. im using this for my dj business and it great! thank you!
Great quality forvalue. However, there is no software available to perfect the recording function. However, the quality of this mixer is amazing. I have used this for a big concert. Does the job. A little short on XLRs but overall happy with it.
Delivered on time working within minutes good range of EQ. The mixer is ideal for a small band, disco or podcast the microphone amps are very quiet with adequate gain. Phantom power works fine and saves the cost of a PSU. Compression is very useful as is the USB interface very easy to set up a recording session. I have worked with many types of expensive PA equipment and all I can say is that this cheap Behringer kit is great, don’t be a snob save a few bob!
Bought this for a simple pod cast setup. Decent build quality and low noise on the outputs, even with the gain cranked up.
When my mixer stopped working during a recent gig, I found this one and purchased it right away. Shipping was quick, even without upgrading.
Such a flexible mixer!!! It has two isolated “sends”allowing for some great flexibility, the faders are smooth and the extra bus (ALT 3 and 4) is super nice to have as well. It’s just the right size and a great value. I’ll recommend this mixer any day of the week.
This is our second mixer of this model. It’s just the right size and has all the features we need for our DJ business. You can’t beat the price either.
I definitely recommend it!
5 starts because it works perfectly and serves my purpose, which is podcasting. Delivered on time, new, and in the appropriate packaging. I’m happy with the purchase and have purchased more products from Behringer since. Good value for your dollar.
This is a very nice mixer. Compressors are the reason I bought it for play by play sports. They do a nice job. We use the mute to send the mics to channel 3/4 and sent 3/4 to the headphones for a cue channel is nice. We use the usb to a laptop taking audio to an flash encoder. Would like to be able to bring a audio signal from the computer and use it in the main mix. Called tech support and it does not function that way. Great little mixer.
Use this for DJ/Karioke works great having compression on the mic inputs, havent worked with the usb interface yet but im sure it will work as well as the mixe
