Behringer XENYX X1204USB 12-Input USB Mixer with Effects

Bring microphones, keyboards and playback into one manageable mix with the Behringer XENYX X1204USB. Designed for worship teams, small live performances and home studios in Kenya, this compact analogue mixer combines four microphone preamps, hands-on dynamics control, built-in effects and stereo USB recording.

Four XENYX microphone preamps let you connect vocal microphones while two stereo input channels accommodate keyboards and other line-level sources. Shape each source with three-band EQ, then use the mono-channel high-pass filters to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble. The 60 mm faders make level adjustments easy to follow during a service, rehearsal or performance.

One-knob compression on the four mono channels helps keep vocals and instruments more consistent as performers move between softer and louder passages. The 24-bit effects processor provides 16 editable presets, including reverb, delay and chorus, so you can add space and character without carrying a separate effects unit.

Connect the mixer to a Windows PC or Mac through its USB-B connection to record a stereo mix or play audio back from your computer. Auxiliary sends, ALT 3-4 outputs and separate control-room and headphone monitoring support flexible live and studio setups. Pair the main outputs with powered speakers or an external amplifier and passive speakers for a complete sound system.

FAQs

Q: Can the X1204USB record each microphone to a separate USB track?
A: No. Its built-in USB interface records a stereo mix, not separate tracks for every input. You can also play stereo audio back from a connected computer.

Q: Can I connect passive speakers directly to this mixer?
A: No. The X1204USB is not a powered mixer. Connect its main outputs to powered speakers, or use a separate power amplifier with passive speakers. Use +48 V phantom power only with compatible microphones and connections.
