The British EQs Are Coming

The Behringer Xenyx XL1600 32-input 4-bus live mixer has the goods for front-of-house or monitor duties, and is completely at home in corporate and touring audio rigs. The XL1600's high-headroom, low noise mic preamps and musical, Brit-inspired EQ give you gorgeous sound, while its intuitive layout and color-coded control interface makes it easy to use. The XL1600's 8 mono and four stereo channels, four busses, and cornucopia of I/O lets you mix shows without running out of console. If you need a live mixer, check out the Behringer Xenyx XL1600.

Behringer Xenyx XL1600 at a Glance:
  • British EQ?
  • Amazingly easy-to-use
  • Great back panel layout

British EQ?
The Behringer Xenyx XL1600 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 XL1600. Smashing.

Amazingly easy-to-use
The Behringer Xenyx XL1600's dials are assigned to colors that let you easily locate each function and quickly identify corresponding faders. The whole enchilada is laid out intuitively, letting you work quickly, even in dark venus. From the white input gain trim dials to the orange, blue, and red channel sends - everything is logically located and suitable color-coded. Using the Behringer Xenyx XL1600 couldn't be simpler!

Great back panel layout
The back panel of the Behringer Xenyx XL1600 is essentially an intuitive patch bay, giving you mounds of flexibility in patching up a show. Everything is arranged into a logical topography that mirrors the console surface and reflects the way you actually use live mixers. With its user-friendly design, you can configure the XL1600 quickly and confidently, move on to your sound check, and perhaps fit in a civilized dinner before the show.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
