SONICALLY SUPERIOR 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 offer 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, the SX3242FX provides such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.

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 Behringer's 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.

EFFECTIVE FX

Every SX3242FX mixer features not one, but two of their 24-bit dual-engine stereo FX processors – with 99 awesome presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and various multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these studio-grade effects provide stunningly-professional results, and can be routed to a wide range of destinations, ensuring the ultimate in versatility.

FBQ - TOTALLY FEEDBACK-FREE

For more than 20 years, Behringer has designed and manufactured some of the most successful FBQ Feedback Elimination processors. Now you can own and enjoy the benefits of this technology, as they have integrated the revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System in this product, so your sound system is completely feedback-free, allowing you to focus on your performance. Utilizing an ultra-fast feedback detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. When feedback is sensed in a specific frequency range, the LED on the associated EQ fader illuminates, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome the feedback. That simple!
