As a live sound or recording studio mixer and a feature-packed computer audio interface, the Behringer XENYX/USB series mixers combine profound sound sculpting potential, flexible routing, onboard FXs, and more—in one compact and high-value package. With 22 inputs spanning 16 channels (8 mono and 4 stereo) and a 2x2 bus mixer, the Xenyx 12222USB is an excellent size for musical groups, combos, vocal acts, and more.

Channels 1-8 are loaded with studio-quality XENYX mic preamps w/phantom power (plus 8 line inputs for added flexibility) that bring out the clarity, warmth, and subtlety of your studio condenser or dynamic mics. In addition to the already clear and intimate response, each channel sports an independent, simple-to-operate 1-knob compressor for effortlessly adding a smooth and polished touch to your vocals. Stereo channels (9-16) each feature a pair of ¼” TRS inputs for keyboards and sound modules or can be used 4 independent mono inputs for guitars, bass, drums, or other line-level sources. Each channel benefits from Behringer’s UK-voiced 3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange control for a custom-tailored response, plus a 60mm slide fader for easy and accurate level adjustments. Topping off the professional sound sculpting features, the X2222USB is equipped with a new-design studio-grade 24-bit effects engine with 16 editable presets for Reverb, Delay, and more.

In addition to its great live sound potential, the X1622USB is packed with connectivity options and flexible signal routing. For studio (or live) recording, use the stereo USB output to connect your desktop or laptop using virtually any recording software (including free audio recording, editing, and podcasting software—plus 150 instrument/effect plug-ins and an ultra-low latency driver downloadable at Behringer.com). Plus, you can add backing tracks to your performance by routing computer playback to the main outputs with the live mix.
