The Behringer XENYX QX1222USB Mixer gives you premium sound quality and an impressive array of features in a compact, easy-to-use format. Channels 1–4 are equipped with Behringer’s acclaimed XENYX mic preamps for pristine performance, and stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 feature additional mic inputs for greater flexibility. Each mono channel includes Behringer's renowned “British” 3-band EQs and studio-grade “one-knob” compressors for optimal control and professional clarity.

Add to this the acclaimed KLARK TEKNIK FX processor with 32 studio-quality presets, tap tempo, and storable user settings – and the QX1222USB becomes a powerful live sound solution. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, its integrated USB audio interface and included software tools let you easily record, edit, and produce with professional results.

SONICALLY SUPERIOR MIC PREAMPS

The QX1222USB takes its name from Behringer’s famous high-headroom XENYX mic preamps, delivering performance that rivals boutique stand-alone units. These preamps provide a staggering 130 dB dynamic range and a frequency response that spans from below 10 Hz to above 200 kHz, ensuring outstanding clarity and warmth in every recording or live mix.

STUDIO-QUALITY COMPRESSORS - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Each of the four mono channels features one-knob studio-grade compressors, modeled after classic gear from the ‘70s. These compressors offer transparent dynamic control, enhancing sustain and evening out peaks – ideal for punchy vocals, slap bass, or aggressive guitars. With LED indicators and easy adjustment, they bring consistent, pro-level dynamics to your mix.

SUBLIMELY MUSICAL BRITISH EQ

Inspired by legendary British mixing consoles of the '60s and '70s, the QX1222USB's channel EQs allow you to shape your sound with warmth, depth, and character. Even when pushed, these EQs sound musical and forgiving – perfect for dialing in just the right tone.

KLARK TEKNIK – THE REVERB THAT MADE HISTORY

Behringer’s collaboration with KLARK TEKNIK, a world-renowned British audio brand, brings professional-quality effects to your fingertips. The 24-bit effects processor in the QX1222USB offers 32 studio-grade presets including reverb, delay, chorus, pitch shift, and more. With tap tempo, dual parameter control, and user preset storage, you get the creative control you need for live or studio environments.
