## Description

From the manufacturer X1622USB Premium 16-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps & Compressors, British EQs, 24-Bit Multi-FX Processor and USB/Audio Interface Premium ultra-low noise, high headroom analog mixer 4 state-of-the-art, phantom-powered XENYX Mic Preamps comparable to stand-alone boutique preamps 4 studio-grade compressors with super-easy "one-knob" functionality and control LED for professional vocal and instrumental sound Neo-classic "British" 3-band EQs with semi-parametric mid band for warm and musical sound Channel inserts on each mono channel for flexible connection of outboard equipment Clip LEDs, mute, main mix and subgroup routing switches, solo and PFL functions on all channels Long-wearing 60-mm logarithmic-taper faders and sealed rotary controls XENYX X1622USB The compact XENYX X1622USB mixer allows you to effortlessly achieve premium-quality sound, thanks to 4 onboard studio-grade XENYX Mic Preamps, super-easy “one-knob” studio-grade compressors and our ultra-musical “British” channel EQs – with a semi-parametric mid band for the maximum flexibility in sound sculpting. Add to this our 24-bit, dual-engine Multi-FX processor with 16 editable, professional-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects – and the X1622USB becomes an incredibly versatile mixer for your live performances. But the XENYX X1622USB wasn’t just designed to handle your live gigs; it also provides the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio interface, the XENYX X1622USB comes with all the recording and editing software needed to turn your computer system into a complete, high-performance home recording studio. Sonically Superior Mic Preamps All XENYX mixers have one thing in common – great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. XENYX preamps off er a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. One-Knob Compression Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs find challenging. Our “one-knob” compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products in this class but standard on the XENYX X1622USB mixer. Sublimely Musical British EQ The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. Klark Tenknik - The Reverb that Made History Klark Teknik is recognized worldwide as one of the most prestigious British audio companies, with a 40-year pedigree and even a TEC Lifetime Achievement Award to back it up. The Company has designed and manufactured products for world-class artists, and their legendary DN780 reverb processor is considered by leading audio engineers around the world as the industry standard. Check out their website to learn more about Klark Teknik's legendary heritage. Behringer is proud to incorporate custom-engineered Klark Teknik effects into their products. Featuring 100 world-class presets to choose from including reverb, chorus, flange, delay, pitch shift and many other amazing effects, Klark Teknik created the 24-bit, studio-grade effects engine for Behringer – to give your performance that truly professional finishing touch. Special Features… The XENYX X1622USB comes equipped with channel Inserts and our “British” 3-band EQs with semi-parametric mid band on all mono channels, plus 4-band fixed EQ on the stereo channels. Other features include 2 Aux Sends: 1 pre/post fader switchable for monitoring/FX applications, 1 post fader (for internal FX or external send) – plus Clip LEDs, Mute, Main Mix and Subgroup routing switches, Solo and PFL functions on all channels. Recording Bliss There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio – and that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That’s where the XENYX X1622USB mixer comes in. Thanks to the built-in, bidirectional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect your X1622USB directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive. Which brings us to software… Free Software Would Be Nice!

Review: Performance Mixer - I bought this mixer with a view to starting out with some simple podcasting - there are smaller versions available, but I deliberately bought the extra capacity for when my projects develop and become larger and more complex. I've read reviews where people have slated these mixers for not having the stated number of channels, or such. It is a bit misleading. This has 4 mono inputs - XLR or balanced / unbalanced jack. Each of these gets 48V phantom power if you switch it on. There are then 5 stereo inputs (2 channels each) and a stereo subgroup. 4 + 10 + 2 = 16. Each of the channel strips is well specified with gain and compression on the mono strips, 4 band EQ AUX / FX Send - mute, solo, sub. Although you can send signals to off board effects processors, there is also an onboard unit with quite a range of effects. Strictly, i suppose it's a PA mixer or for recording single take performances. I use mine with GarageBand and the output from the mixer comes into GB as a single stereo source. I record music and voice over separately on different GB tracks. A benefit of this mixer for me is that I can customise channel strips and leave them set, even though I might not be using them. Any music tech student or home recording musician would do well to look at Behringer kit - you'll get great quality at a great price. Don't be tempted though by the software package - much of the stuff is freeware and you probably have far better DAW / podcasting software already. If you use Mac OS X Lion, much of the free stuff won't work anyway. The proprietary DAW package works well, but Macs have GarageBand which is far superior. Windows people, you're also bound to have your favourite package also.
Review: Super value. Everything you need why pay more? - I think this is a great mixer. It's my second Behringer mixer. My previous one, a UB1204FX was used almost daily for 10 years. It's still going strong, but is just a bit too small for the needs of our band. I use the X2442USB for recording and as a live desk for my band. It's a great design and offers all that I need from a mixer. The thing with gear like Behringer is that it has to be judged in the context of it's target application. Affordable stuff like this just didn't exist a few years ago, so for gigs we would all be plugged into some massive 4 channel Peavey or HH PA heads which might have a spring reverb if you were lucky. Home recording was on a cassette porta-studio if you could afford it. Now with gear like this we can get pro-quality functional gear at a very affordable price. I am an ex sound engineer who spent many years in recording studios in the 80's and 90's. In those days only huge SSL desks had compressors on every channel, and many of the 'pro' digital reverbs we had didn't sound as good as the effects on the X2442USB. The effects are a little noisy, but quite useable if driven hard enough, more than good enough for live applications. I really like the compressors, not much control, but the settings are a good compromise of attack and compression ratio. EQ is functional and adequate. I tend to use plug-ins on my DAW for recording anyway. Direct channel outs are a great addition, and 4 aux sends is a luxury. It's just a really well designed desk which covers everything I need t for. Sure it's no Neve, it's not as quiet and has more crosstalk than the real pro stuff, but really, in the pubs and clubs we play, or on the MP3 recordings we make streamed online, i defy anyone to tell the difference.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi can i use an rca phono cable to connect to the monitors am aware you can use a female xlr cable but it's there an option. thanks**
A: I don't have the mixer readily available a the moment but I'm pretty sure the monitor output is on 1/4" jack.  However, you can get a phono to jack adapter from Maplin or similar and that will work fine.You can download the manual from the Behringer site if you want to look in more detail.    Hope this helps

**Q: Can i just use this to control the mixing station on my DAW? i dont want to record through it, i just want to be able to mix easier**
A: Sorry, you cannot. This is not a midi controller. Look at nektar P1. Affordable solution. Now if you need the capability of having inputs you have to go further on expenses to a tascam model12,24..

**Q: Does the desk accept conventional jack plug mics**
A: Yes . Underneath each " Mic " socket .. on each channel .. is a normal jack plug socket .  This is an awesome piece of Kit !

**Q: Can you record multiple tracks separately into a DAW?**
A: I don't Record through this Behringer X1222USB,it's  Audiophile Quality,the Sound is very Dull,I Record Direct from Pulse USB Card Recorders Or my Marantz CDR631,The Behringer is Not Musical Enough,it's Only Use is to Split multiple Channels,& The bus sends the Signals To be recorded or played back to  where it is Routed to i.e my X1222 has 12 Channels plus Rca Stereo 2 track ins & Outs to Record to Hard disc, C.D or Analogue Tape,Sometimes thru the USB into a Computer,this Interface is Designed to be used for Band Rehearsals or Live Music,with the Option to Monitor & Record All Channels Simultaneously,i Prefer to Use Lexicon For this Which is Far more Accurate with TRS plus 4 RCA ins & Outs to Record & Play in Digital i use Chord,QED & Van Damme terminated with Neutrik,Chord Cables are 1 of the Best!I i Also am Recording Music via many Sources into a Zoom R8 Memory Card Recorder These Mixers i'm using are very Accurate & Sound I Attain is very Close to Ultimate Stereo Seperation!Behringer Has a very Ignorant Customer Services team who Fail to Respond & Do not Register the 3 Year Warrantee that Every other Professional Grade Lexicon Equipment Does!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noisey when I add my high quality, large diaphragm mic
*by R***N on 14 October 2025*

This Behringer XENYX X1222USB Premium 16-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer is working ok but i find it really noisey when I add my high quality, large diaphragm mic or when using certain apps on my PC. There is also USB connectivity, onboard effects and subgrouping amongst many other features and overall it is a good product but i have to remove one star from my rating because that noise it makes is really not cool.
