A Small Mixer with Big Features

The Behringer Xenyx X1222USB USB mixer makes it easy to mix up to 12 channels of audio at a budget-friendly price. You get six Xenyx mic preamps on the first six channels, plus an additional four stereo channels for line level-sources. Two of the stereo channels also feature XLR jacks. The 2-bus design lets you route signals to an alternate source, while two aux sends per channel further enhance your routing options. The X1222USB helps you sound your best too, with 1-knob compression and 3-band EQs. A 7-band graphic EQ lets you really dial in the sound you are looking for, and it can be set to either the mains or monitors. The FBQ feedback detection system helps you identify the offending frequencies so you can tame them, and the XPQ 3D stereo surround effect gives your mixes a huge, room-filling sound. Best of all, you can easily record the stereo output of the X1222USB to your computer via USB — it even comes with a suite of free recording and podcasting software. If you need a do-it-all mixer that can handle both live and studio sound with ease, Sweetwater reccomends the X1222USB!

Sound-sculpting features

Live sound engineers know the value of a quality compressor. The Behringer Xenyx X1222USB mixer makes compressing easy, featuring six channels, each with 1-knob compression. Just set your signal levels, then adjust the compressor to taste, making signal-level management easier than ever. A 24-bit multi-effects processor gives you the power to add professional touches to your mix. Reverb, delay, echo, chorus and more let you add that finishing touch to vocals and mixes. The X1832USB also features a 7-band graphic EQ to really dial in great sound no matter the venue.

Flexible routing

The Xenyx X1222USB mixer makes it easy to send your audio to multiple destinations. It's great for setting up custom headphone mixes for recording in your home studio. Set your main levels where they need to be for recording, then use the aux sends on each channel to set up a custom monitor mix that can be sent to a headphone amp.

USB recording and playback

The Xenyx X1222USB's computer connectivity is a helpful addition, both in the studio and on stage. In your studio, you can record the stereo output of the X1222USB to virtually any recording software, and you can also play back audio from your computer through the mixer. For live use, the X1222USB is an easy way to mix and record the show at the same time — just take your laptop and hit record before the show starts. It's also a great way to add backing tracks to your performance, by routing computer playback to the main outputs along with the live mix.

Reviews

Still learning!
I bought this mixer to do drum covers with. There was a bit of a learning curve for me, but after some trial and a lot of error, I got it dialed in. I still need to learn about some of the settings and I have not even hit of the effects yet!
Music background: Drummer since 1977
Good mixer
Like everyone else has been saying, this is a really good mixer for the money. I'm a little disappointed that the price is the same as the Q1222, though, which has more effects. The effects are decent in this mixer, though I'll probably only use the reverb. Also, I just plugged directly to my ipad and tested out some recording with Garage Band and there were a few points where the recording cut out, but I may just not have it set up right. Needless to say, it doesn't seems to be plug and play with DAWs, unless Garage Band just really sucks or something. If you don't care about the effects, or if they actually are intending to replace this with the Q model, get the Q model instead.
Excellent product great price.
With the Behringer Xenyx 1222USB you are getting many features of the medium to large format consoles in a small format version. The mic-pre's are clean and surprisingly warm. It's well laid out and has many great features as well. I use it for karaoke. The voice eliminator works very well as long as it's in the center. If the lead vocal is of to one side or the other it still works just not as well.
All in all, I think it was an excellent purchase and I would probably get another if needed. The fit and finish is excellent and it feels like a quality product. It seems to perform well too. I haven't used it much yet but from what I have done with it, it seems to hold up.

Great unit
I needed to downsize my mixing board yet still have all the "bells and whistles." The X1222USB does the job.
And the Sweetwater support team was there to answer any questions I had about the unit.
