Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • There are a lot of great features on this board like the direct outputs and compression on the first eight channels
  • I needed a lot of Mic inputs and also built in effects....but this mixer delivers just that and much much more....the features and different effects are amazing
  • 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.
  • Another nice feature for us podcasting is that we can easily add a phone line to this mixer and get great sound.
  • If you need a light weight portable gig mixer that has some reasonably good features

Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • They are not yet a final product, but at least it works to satisfaction and if we put a little more effort into it, it could have sounded much better.

Reviews around design (5.00 of 5)

  • Both the design and its features are magnificent
  • Also, the design of the unit seems pretty well thought out: I installed a goose neck light on the BNC light connector which turned out to be a defective light and the mixer heated up somewhat and shut itself down automatically after a while, so the mixer appears to have some protection functionality embedded that is not advertized.
  • Both the design and its features are magnificent

Reviews around effect (4.26 of 5)

  • The main out going to a P.A. System and a field recorder. as far as the effects, I haven't messed with them too much
  • The effects are a bit anemic and VERY basic
  • the effects are also very good on the board as well as the INPUTS.
  • Easy to operate, manual could explain the "effects" better.
  • The integrated FX box works fine, however, you can not assign different effects to one channel vs another, you can only select one effect and apply it to zero, one or more of any of the input channels.
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for effect

Reviews around unit (4.03 of 5)

  • The unit works fine except two low cut push buttons are stuck after first use.
  • If you are really into recording, I'd suggest looking at boards dedicated to that purpose, but as far as live and recording performances, this unit was well thought out.
  • Overall, not a bad little unit for the price.

  • These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology - and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps
  • XENYX preamps offer 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, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren't looking
  • Sublimely Musical British EQ The British consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock and roll - 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
  • One-Knob Compression Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous - dynamic compression
  • What is compression? We're 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 have great difficulty mastering
  • Our "one-knob" 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 - but standard on all XENYX USB mixers
  • Effective FX All XENYX USB Series mixers (except the 1204USB) feature our new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects
  • Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control
  • Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music
  • Recording Bliss There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio - and that time was pricey indeed
  • But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer
  • How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That's where XENYX USB mixers come in
  • Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable
  • Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive
  • Which brings us to software..
