Wireless Ready Performance
QX1204USB –
QX2442USB mixers
are “wireless-ready”
right out of the box.
Our new ULTRALINK
ULM200USB
(soldseparately)
features two highquality 2.4 GHz
wireless mics, plus
a special 2-channel
receiver dongle
that connects directly to a dedicated
input port on the top of the mixers.
This technologic breakthrough makes for
seamless wireless integration that is easier
and more aordable than ever.
What's a Compressor?
Ask professional sound engineers
what their favorite piece of external
processing gear is and the response
will be virtually unanimous – dynamic
compression. What's compression?
Glad you asked. Compression 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 have diculty
mastering. Our “one-knob” compression
is available on all mono channels and is
easy to operate, even for entry-level users.
Now you can easily dial in the perfect
amount of compression for instruments
and vocals, creating powerful mixes
with punch and clarity. Our “one-knob”
compressors come standard on each and
every XENYX Q Series USB mixer.
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 preamps are
a tremendous step in the evolution of
audio technology—and they can easily
hold their own, even when compared to
expensive, boutique-style mic preamps.
XENYX preamps oer a staggering 130 dB
of dynamic range with a bandwidth
that extends from below 10 Hz to well
above 200 kHz. As a result, XENYX mixers
provide such transparent, crystal-clear
performance that you just might think
someone upgraded your microphones
while you weren’t looking.
Sweet 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 even happened.
Thoselegendary 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.
Recording Ready
There was a time when the recording
process called for lots of specialized gear,
which meant the average musician had
to buy time at a recording studio—and
that time was expensive! But modern
technology has put personal recording
well within the reach of virtually anyone
with access to a computer. But how do
you get all that music ying around your
brain into a computer? That’s where
XENYX Q Series mixers come in. Thanksto
the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB
audio interface, you can connect directly
to your PC or Mac computer via a single
USB cable. Now any signal source
connected to the mixer can be recorded
straight to your hard drive. Which brings
us to software…
How About Some Free Software!
Because you’ll want to take full
advantage of your XENYX QX Series
mixers’ recording and podcasting
potential, we’ve put together a massive
software download at behringer.com
that includes Audacity (the most popular
open source audio editor), Podier,
Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear
(a great selection of podcasting software).
You’re ready to go live on your PC or
Mac right out of the box! You also get
more than 100 virtual instruments and
50FX plug-ins, turning your computer
into a complete home-based or mobile
recording studio.
