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.

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!

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.

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.

Love this mixer

I was going to purchase my new mixer on Amazon because I thought it would arrive quicker. Price was the same. I had some questions about the mixer so I called Sweetwater and spoke with Derek, since I knew Amazon wouldn't know about the product. Derek answered all my questions so I thought it would be stupid to use Amazon. I ordered the mixer on Tuesday and received it on Wednesday. I don't think Amazon could have been that quick! Buy from people who know the products they sell!

Great for what it is

This mixer doesn't have a thousand features, but it works well. The mic pre sounds fine and the FX sound good. XLR outputs for mains and an internal power supply are convenient. Nice to have output EQ as well.. Overall a great value!
