Xenyx X1622USB Premium 16-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps & Compressors

very good, perfectly shipped, works great.

Behringer has a plethora of mixers, often with just minor differences between nearly-identical models. For my needs, this particular model (X1622USB) hits the sweet spot. I use small-format mixers in a variety of situations, so I need a lot of flexibility. In particular, I need separate volume controls for the main left and right outputs, and high resolution level meters. This mixer meets these needs — so that's a start. In addition, it gives me four, independently-controllable output channels (Sub 1 and 2, and Main left and right) which I can use for various purposes. One good example of how I use this is for hybrid Zoom meetings, where I use the Left Main output as the send-to-Zoom mix, and the Right Main output as the house mix, and can control which input channels feed which output channels (see YouTube videos about "mix minus" setups for Zoom hybrid meetings). The monitoring system is (finally for Behringer mixers) flexible and understandable. I can use the level meters to check or monitor the levels on any input channel (using the solo feature), or on any pair of busses. This is great. As usual with Behringer mixers the Aux and FX channels, and their input and output jacks, and their various knobs and buttons, are intricately interconnected in non-intuitive ways, that are not documented in the manual. After a huge amount of trial and error experimentation I have figured most of it out (and written my own "manual" for those parts), and to some extent the features are useful — but I strongly feel that Behringer should have documented these things clearly in the manual. This is a failing of all the many Behringer mixer manuals I have read. Another huge disappointment is the inflexibility of the USB interface. It would be a huge benefit if each channel from the USB interface had its own fader, and could be switched to any desired bus, but no — they route to the main L and R busses with no independent volume control. This is a crippling lack. The USB sends are similarly crippled. I almost invariably have to ignore the built-in USB interface and use an external one, connected to the analog jacks as needed. What a waste. The built-in effects engine I never use. I've never needed reverb or echo, etc. for any of my applications. For me, things like a graphic or parametric equalizer, or a feedback eliminator, would be far more useful. Bottom line is that I get a lot of functionality that I need, at a very competitive price, with some quirks and inadequacies that I can for the most part ignore.

Have been using this controller for my DJ business; it’s the perfect size for travel but powerful enough for a large space

I got this mixer for a startup podcast I'm working on. With this board, I can connect at least 4 XLR mics and many other input devices using the other input jacks. The quality seems good, its well made, sturdy. Its perhaps not the most intuitive to figure out, especially with the USB connection. My issue was that I wanted to use an RCA input from my iphone (which this board supports), but if you are connecting the board to your PC via USB, the RCA input audio is not output to the USB connection. So your recording will hear you talking, but it won't hear the RCA input audio. Thats kind of a bummer to me. To work around this I bought an audio cable that lets me connect the 3.5mm audio out on my iphone to the 1/4" jacks on one of the other inputs. This way the audio is treated like any other input and you can mix it into the master audio or aux, which does get output to USB. The effects generator is a bit confusing to use, but thats likely just an issue with me the user, as I'm new to this. It does work and the quality seems very good. I'm also thrilled at the high quality audio I'm getting through this mixer and the mics I bought. With a variety of cables and adapters you get quite a flexible range of options for input and mixing. This is probably overkill for what I want to do, but I'm very pleased with the results so far. The only thing missing as far as I can tell is the ability to give each input mix a return audio mix minus their own input. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that on this mixer. Otherwise, I'm totally happy with it.

this has everything you need..unless you are a synth nut with too many stereo sources (like me).. this has balanced inpouts, balanced outputs and has two busses.. so you can listen through studio monitors to everything you wish, and record anything you wish... channel mute buttons and a low noise floor make this an easy decision compared to mixers at twice the price.. i cannot comment on the FX (dont use them in a mixer), or the USB audio (have separate module).. however this mixer reduced overall noise and hum in my system while giving mute buttons per channel (for on/off of instrument) and was a great buy.. ..unfortunately i have more stereo sources than it can take so went for a tascam lm8-st.. less frills and spill but at leat enough connectors :)

In my opinion, Behringer is a really good German brand for sound engineering. This mixer was well worth it and has all the controls I need for and in-house set-up as well as a mobile DJ set-up. For outputs, I use two self-powered speakers in the main out L/R, and two passive subwoofers L/R. In house I have a channel connected to the TV, one connected to Alexa, another to Aux, and a Mic input for karaoke. In a mobile DJ set-up, I have a stereo input for the DJ controller, an Aux (in case someone wants to connect their phone), and Mic inputs. I use condensor Mic's for the studio which this can phantom power 4 of them. The built-in effect are also very clean and adjustable (e.g. deep batman voice vs high-pitch girly voice). I am yet to use this as a studio interface for recording podcast interviews. I currently use the Komplete Audio A6. which is $50 more, a lot more compact, but can only manage 2 condensor microphones, but can record multiple tracks. I have read from other reviews that this can only record two multi-track channels. I am yet to test the USB DAW recording.

een goed en nuttig produkt.werkt perfect.

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.

Buona fattura, un sound caldo e bilanciato, lavoro con eventi e karaoke e finalmente le casse non vanno più in picco quando qualche cantante urla! I compressori suo primo 4 canali xlr fanno benissimo il loro lavoro! Belli gli effetti voce! Un prodotto da 5 stelle! In prezzo irrisorio per il prodotto che offre consigliatissimo!

Muy buena, una herramienta bastante equipada y a buen precio.

Gerek amatör gerekse profesyonel kullanım için ideal. Fiyatı çok iyi ve fiyatına göre performansı mükemmel. Usb bilgisayar bağlantısı ile ses kartı olarak kulaanabileceğiniz bir ürün. Ben çok memnun kaldım. Ayrıca özenli paketleme ve hızlı gönderim için çok teşekkür ediyorum
