Behringer XENYX 1204USB Premium 12-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps and Compressors, British EQ and USB/Audio Interface, Compatible with PC and Mac

Product Information

I have made some good recordings with it in the past few months, and I am in no hurry to replace it, but if I had it to do over again I would have bought a mixer with more than 2 channels in its USB audio interface. But the X1204USB 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. Great care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of this article but neither Sound On Sound Limited nor the publishers can be held responsible for its contents.

As a result, when the level control in Audacity is set to 100% I am actually amplifying the input signal from the mixer. Because you’ll want to take full advantage of your XENYX 1204USB’s recording and podcasting potential, we’ve included all the software you’ll need for audio recording, editing and even podcasting – all free of charge and downloadable from behringer.I already have a 12 channel Berhringer mixer I've been using for my main setup since 2002 and it's still working great!

The XENYX 1204USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over the world. The Behringer Xenyx 1204USB is also a stereo USB/Audio Interface to connect directly to your computer.There are also two stereo line in channels which don’t have a high-pass filter, gain knob, or compressor — just a switch to toggle between +4 dB and -10 dB gain.

I also adjust the input gain, compression level, and slider levels on the individual tracks and on the master bus in a sound check every time I record, so maybe I’m compensating for the issue in some other way. I use it with a turntable set, studio microphone, sampler/sequencer and any other occasional gear I come across. For example, you can add reverb to a microphone connected to channel 1 and delay to a guitar connected to input 2. Only one phones out so if you have multiple people trying to use headphones need to get a hub or run the monitor output to heads.This means that once the product is delivered, you'll have 60 days to decide that you definitely want to keep it.
