Reviews

Great mixer for the price!
I bought this to mic my drum kit and it does everything I need and then some. I've hade it for a while now and not one issue. As always thanks to Ryan Thorpe and the Sweetwater team for awesome customer service!

Extreme bargain for this type of routing flexibility
I upgraded from a Behringer X1832USB to this model because I needed direct outs and wanted additional mixing busses in order to record rehearsal sessions. Thi mixer allows for direct outs on the first 8 channels with the additional flexibility of 4 stereo sub-mix busses, which can become 8 distinct outputs by panning the stereo channels. To get anything close to this from any other brand, you have to spend more than double.

Every channel on this mixer is quiet, including inputs, pres, and all controls. The faders and controls all move with a satisfying quality, and I can't say I've noticed a single manufacturing defect. I was going back and forth about this upgrade, but am so happy that I did it. Being able to capture 3 vocal parts, 2 guitars, bass, keys, and a drum track (Vdrums) all at once and on their own tracks, while also mixing all of that for a live rehearsal, is a dream come true. Accomplishing that for this price is a flat-out steal.

Five Years Later
Originally bought this mixer for the excellent I/O options. I use it mostly in my personal studio, have done several live events and used it for YouTube videos. This a solid unit and I've had no problems with it whatsoever in the five years I've owned it, although it has not lived a hard life. In fact, I've recommended this mixer before for budget church installs and they are quite happy with the result. I'm not sure if anyone even makes an analog mixer of this size with a comparable feature set and input/output.
Excellent Buy
I needed a simple analog mixer with a decent amount of inputs and aux outputs with effects.
I had the same model mixer which I purchased over 12 yrs ago and put it through alot of mileage,
finally had to retire it. It still works but
one of the inputs no longer works.
I'm very pleased with the sound and flexibility!

Behringer QX244USB Mixer
Great mixer for the price. Easy to learn/use, and sounds good too. Only wish I could use the 4 Aux sends and the effects at the same time. (the effects use Aux 3...)
