Mixing Is an Art

The Behringer Xenyx X2442USB analog mixer will wow you with its transparent-sounding preamps, "British" EQ, onboard dynamics and effects, and user-friendly layout. What's been left out here? Not much. The X2442USB even has a built-in USB/audio interface for effortless connection to your Mac or PC. Working with the X2442USB's intuitive back panel and user-friendly surface topography, you can patch up your show, whip up a mix, blast through sound check, and have a few minutes left over for a civilized meal before curtain time. Life on the road's easy with the Behringer Xenyx X2442USB.

Behringer Xenyx X2442USB at a Glance:
  • Great-sounding mic pres
  • British EQ
  • Crank up the FX

Great-sounding mic pres
The Behringer Xenyx X2442USB is fitted with great-sounding, high headroom Xenyx mic preamps. These cutting-edge pres can hold their own against preamps in consoles costing considerably more then the X2442USB. You get a jaw-dropping 130dB of dynamic range, and a ginormous bandwidth extending from the subsonic to dog frequencies. You'll have a newfound respect for your mics when they're plugged into the X2442USB.

British EQ
The Behringer Xenyx X2442USB employs "British" EQ. What's up with that? Well, the EQ's on 70s British consoles were eminently musical, caressing your signal rather than jolting it. We're talking finesse. These highly sought-after holy grail EQ characteristics were the result of wider curves, lower Q, synergistic harmonic phase management, and general Brit engineering mojo. You could load on the EQ or make deeps cuts, all without incurring sonic acrimony. Happily, Behringer has emulated these delightful EQ (or should we say, "equalisation") characteristics in the X2442USB. Smashing.

Crank up the FX
Behringer Xenyx X2442USB features Behringer's latest 24-bit dual-engine FX processor. Armed with 16 editable, studio-grade presets, you get great-sounding reverb, chorus, flanging, delay, pitch shift and multi-effects. Use the Parameter control to tweak the effects to your heart's content. You can even enter time-based functions manually by pushing the Tap button in tempo with your music. With the Behringer Xenyx X2442USB, live mixing is an art.

Behringer Xenyx X2442USB Features:
  • Ultra-low noise, high headroom analog mixer
  • 10 state-of-the-art, phantom-powered XENYX Mic Preamps comparable to stand-alone boutique preamps
  • Eight studio-grade compressors with super-easy "one-knob" functionality and control LED

  • Studio-grade FX processor with 16 editable presets

Great routing capability, Smooth Sound!

Very smooth sound quality, NOT brittle. I love the 4 stereo aux returns for all the effects I need!

Most cheaper mixers sound harsh at high EQ but not this one. Lows are very clean and defined. Such a Great Price for Professional Sound Quality! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
