Behringer Xenyx X2222USB Mixer with USB and Effects

I bought this mixer to replace a Mackie Mix12Fx that left me hangin' after the third (3) time it was taken out of the box, and let me tell you, I should have bought THIS ONE FIRST..! Then I wouldn't have wasted my money on that other junk.. This mixer has EVERYTHING you would want in a pro quality mixer..! It has Pan Left/ Right, Three (3) Band E/Q. on each channel, full controll of digital effects, high and low Z inputs, you can run your mics, guitar[s], your Key Board, ALL OF IT, right from this mixer.! Use the USB connection and record direct to your Lap Top, and be editing a live show recording on the way HOME..! My Father would say it's the best thing since sliced bread, I say it's just plain GREAT...!

I love it. it came in great shape and very fast which is remarkable considering the pandemic going on. very satisfied. and just cause its Behringer doesn't mean its crap. yea I get it, not everything is gold but their mixers are pretty alright. I've never had a problem. its has built in effects which is a plus with a lot of people but for people like me there's inserts on every XLR channel plus the normal effects loop stuff. oh and it has a lot of options to do with everything. u could even take the insert pre or post and a bunch of other cool options. they has slightly smaller models than this and if this price is too high there's cheaper versions with less cool things but even the smaller models has inserts for at least 4 XLR inputs. must get or at least consider. its not a Mackie but that'll be one day. im happy with this for now.

I needed a mixer for USB recording for my home studio. In the past, I have purchased a lot of Behringer mixers from 2 inputs to 24 inputs for live and studio. This USB feature is perfect for home studio recordings.I have also purchase precious which was more costly, but this mixer does that as good for my needs at a great price.The only thing I wish it had more than just two recordings at once. But for the price, it is okay.I plan to order an interface from Behringer with 18 inputs and 20 outputs and run the playback through this mixer.

Excellent product arrived on time and in good condition. Right now I am in Venezuela testing it. Excellent quality without any type of defect. I recommend the seller since I have bought consoles from him on several occasions.

Yes, one star. Once I purchased this product I had a lot of sound engineers say that Behringer makes shoddy products. It worked fine for the first event that I needed it for but soon after developed a disturbing sound through the FX line. If I tried to put any FX through it made a horrible farting machine gun sound. I had a tech diagnose it and he concluded it was shot. To be clear, I wasn't moving this board, dropping it, spilling stuff on it, just using it normally. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Fortunately Amazon was willing to give me a refund.

You’ve got 8 mic inputs with XLR or quarter-inch, channel inserts for those inputs - allowing you to route them out to separate effects processors and back - then 8 more inputs lined up as dual quarter-inch inputs for stereo or mono via the left channel. The 6 mic inputs have a gain knob for the pre-amp and a built-in compressor knob. All inputs have a level adjustment pad for +4db or -10db. Along with a 3-band EQ.Flexible output options are available, as well. You’ve got your standard phones output up top, then on the back you have Main Outputs available in XLR and Quarter-inch, sub-mix output via quarter inch, and a “Control Room Out” via quarter-inch.This is a 2-bus mixer, meaning you have a main mix and a sub-mix. I use this HEAVILY for streaming and inspired my primary interest in learning audio mixing for streams and information that I regularly use to this day.For each input’s fader, you have 3 switches - Solo, Sub, and Main. “Solo” sends the signal to what is essentially a “soft mix” of sorts - it only goes to the headphones and control room out for you to hear. If you want to hear and monitor a source, “Solo” needs turned on for it. “Sub” and “Main” are for the sub-mix and main mix, respectively. I utilize this to create a main mix of all of my input sources together - something I don’t use all that often anymore - and a sub-mix with just my microphone inputs. I use this sub mix as my primary input in Windows. This way, I have a clean, microphone-only input to my PC that I can record and send to VOIP apps like Discord, Skype, etc. without the people I’m chatting with hearing an echo of themselves.Then, if I need a full mix-down for live streams, I have that running in, as well - though I mainly just mix to headphones for me to hear and capture main mix sources in software anyway.The FX slider also allows you to map which tracks it plays to, and then you can turn up FX levels per device. So I have FX set to only apply to my microphone devices - so when I unmute FX, my mic has the effects applied. The built-in 24-bit effects mainly include reverb and chorus-style effects.Lastly, of course, this mixer has USB output, buuuuuut I have honestly found that feature to be all but useless. It uses generic ASIO4ALL drivers, only sends the main stereo mix to the PC, and overall was just way too quiet to be usable. In my original testing, even clipping the main mix would be like -40db input to the PC, and then amplifying it up brought crazy noise floor with it. No thank you. Plus USB audio just sucks anyway.

We purchased this for our son. He plays a variety of instruments and had wanted a good mixer. After doing some reading, we decided this one would do the trick. Our son has been very pleased with it.Sound quality is very good. The board seems well-made and sturdy. There are plenty of inputs, which is something that was very important to him.In terms of negatives, the biggest thing is there really isn't much of an instruction manual, so getting familiar with it takes a bit of effort. Fortunately, everything is pretty well labeled and our son has worked with the audio production team for plays and musical performances, so he was able to figure it out.
