With the XENYX USB Series, Behringer has set the example for how to build modern compact mixers, without compromising features or quality. The ingredients make up high-quality microphone preamps, a classic studio inspired EQ design as well as extensive routing possibilities. With the USB audio interface in class-compliant design, the XENYX X1204USB works with most computers, tablets and smartphones without additional drivers. With X1204USB you will always be prepared for what may come your way in the practice room, on stage or for your home studio.
The high-quality Yenyx microphone preamps, which can be found in many Behringer products, impress with an extremely low distortion factor, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 130dB and solid headroom. The four microphones inputs feature an easy to use, yet effective compressor, each with their own dedicated control to balance extreme level differences without producing artifacts. Condenser microphones are supplied with 48V phantom power.
Next to the microphone channels, both of the stereo inputs benefit from the practically conceived EQs, with warm sound of classic British mixing consoles. The input sensitivity of the Line Level inputs can be adjusted between -10 dB and +4dB.
Aux-1 can assigned to each channel either pre- or post-fader and is thereby perfectly suited for monitoring applications and effect control. Aux-2 is post-fader and also routes through the internal effects, as well as the Aux-Send 2 output. Both Aux sends have a master control and can be played-back solo. Stereo Aux Return 1 can be switch to Aux-Send 1 – practical for putting an external effect onto the monitor signal. The output of the internal effect can be assigned between the Main mix and the ALT 3-4 bus. The Phones/Control room output can be assigned independently to the 2-Track/USB, ALT 3-4 and Main mix. This allows input signals that should not picked up by the Main-Mix to allocated to ALT 3-4 via the mute switch while being monitored simultaneously.
The 24-Bit multi-effect section with its own level indicator, works with a 24 bit Texas Instruments DSP, which offers 16 high-quality effects. A knob provides 5 reverb variations, 4 early reflection and delay effects; Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Detune, Pitch-Shifter and Delay/Reverb as well as Chorus/Reverb effect combination. A tap button is available to simply the adjustment of the delay time to the song tempo. Next to the selection of the Presets, the knob is also used to control the effect parameters. With the connection of a suitable, optional footswitch, the effects can be switched on and off. Whether live mixing or studio tracking, there’s the perfect reverb, chorus or multi-effect available.
So that you can get going right away, Behringer has included a versatile software package with the registration oft he product including Audacity Vinyl- Restauration/Recording, Podifier, Golden Ear and Podcasting. The internal power adapter saves weight and automatically adjusts to the supplied voltage so that you don’t have to worry about any nasty surprises when travailing to other countries. Compact, equipped with high-quality modern technology and optimized for high sound quality, the XENYX Q1204USB is a robust tool that you can take on tour, into the practice room or for your home studio.
ottimo prodotto su tutti i fronti nella sua fascia di livello...ottima la possibilita di gestire un compressore sui primi 4 canali xlr...molto comoda la scheda audio integrata con uscita usb ....buona resa sonora accoppiata a casse della stessa casa e non ...con una coppia di rfc quasi non si nota la differenza con uno spirit folio di soundcraft.......veramente un buon prodotto
A great price/performance value, this mixer has many useful features for the small band or the solo artist. It allows to have different mixes for PA and monitors and the compressors are very useful.
A good product!
I love these Behringer mixers. I have tried most different makes but always come back to these ... they are extremely well made and robust with a practically noise-free preamp ... Easy to use but with outstanding results
