Behringer Xenyx X2222USB Premium 22-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps & Compressors

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 am a Mobile DJ and also a Sound Tech. I provide sound services for different music groups and companies events. This mixer is Well built. Has Awesome features and is very reliable. Happy with my purchase.

After owning this for a while, I can say I love this mixer. It does what I wanted and expected it to do. I use this for my drums (not really recording, but more so for live monitoring w/ in ear headphones), and I use it for gaming (just hooking up a mic and phone etc). The controls seem to be built well. The faders are smooth, as are the knobs. The price was reasonable too. What I really like is having the USB option. It is perfect for recording or hooking up a mic for gaming. Also, I have a set up that allows me to use an aux send as my phone mic. It's really nice.

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.

The media could not be loaded. I Purchased the older version of this mixer 2 years ago (Behringer Xenyx QX1832USB) for my home studio. After just two years of light use, it suddenly stopped working. The lights pulsate, it makes a clicking sound, and the mixer is completely unstable. So I contacted Behringer about their advertised 3 year warranty.... To my surprise, I learned that the 3-year warranty is only valid if the product is registered within [90 days] of purchase. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this requirement and didn’t register the mixer in time. When I contacted support, they were polite but firm, stating that their policy is strictly enforced and they couldn’t assist me further. I understand the need for policies, but a [90-day registration window] for a [3-year warranty] feels overly restrictive, and done so people never register and never get the 3 year warranty.It doesn't seem right that a well-known company wouldn't expect their units to last longer. It's a shame they trick you with a 90-day registration period to qualify for a three-year warranty. This is advertised on the box and website, but the 90-day requirement is buried in small print somewhere down the page. I thought I was purchasing a quality product. I guess not, if they have to be so shady about it. I have a similar Yamaha and Mackie mixer that I travel with and have had for more than 10 years. No issues. I bought two of these Behringer mixers, one for me and another for a client. I thought they were solid after a year of light use. I guess not.My Advice.... Just buy a from a well proven brand like Yamaha or Mackie. I know its more pricey, buy they will last a lifetime! They will take a beating and keep on ticking! Just google "Behringer Mixer issue" and see for yourself.

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.
