The first 4 channels feature Phantom Powered XENYX mic preamps, producing a clean and clear performance. These preamps deliver an impressive 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that reaches from 10Hz to 200 kHz.

The revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System of the Xenyx QX1222USB was developed over 20 years, and it makes it possible for you to focus on the performance without having to feat feedback. It does so through a feedback detection system that helps to tame feedbacking frequencies quickly. When any feedback is sensed, an LED on the associated EQ fader illuminates, allowing you to make adjustments immediately.
A built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface allows you to connect the Xenyx QX1222USB directly into your PC or Mac. After downloading the appropriate drivers, this allows for any sound source that's connected to the mixer can be recorded directly to your DAW. All software and drivers can be downloaded straight from Behringer website, including free downloads of more than 150 virtual instruments and FX plug-ins.
Nice working with this mixer. Behringer is always the best in price-quality. Very nice modern design and good soundboard. Comp works well. Faders use easy. If you wanna good mixer - here is. The only one thing is FBQ. For use it rightly you must buy the big EQ for feedback detection and correct. 7 band - is too poor.
Always good with Behringer. A lot of musicians only rate these products as 'Entry Level', but they are much better than that. Plenty of input space and plenty of bandwidth to support the inputs. My son has used these before to record and use at gigs, and decided on a new one as his other one was showing to be a little gig-worn, however it still works after over 8 years of use. He also have another one in his studio for recording his work. So a pretty good endoresment for a trouble free mixing desk. The price is good as well.
This mixer is the perfect compact 16 input to have in a studio to run various equipment from instruments drum machines, vocals and more it has the capability of producing a high quality mix with some great effects and compressors to spice up your mix and really bring things out
