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 o 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.
Studio-Quality Compressor Stairway to Heaven
Our studio-grade compressor is based on
classic and famous studio equipment from
the 70’s. This totally transparent and musical
compressor design allows your full dynamic
range to shine through until your signal
reaches the compression threshold, which
is indicated by the highly visible status LED.
The compressor increases sustain and gently
smoothens out signal peaks, which is especially
handy when you’re laying down the funk,
à la slap and pop – or hammering home your
most-aggressive metal lines. The resulting
output level lets you unleash powerful and
impact-laden bass lines, while still sitting right
where you need to be in the mix!

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.
Built-in Digital Multi-FX Processor
Equipped with our studio-grade 24-bit Multi-FX processor, the X1222USB gives you 16 mindblowing digital e ect presets such as delay, chorus and reverb. Time-based functions can be entered
manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music. Apply them to any channel, as well
as to the monitors and main output. Of course, if you have treasured outboard gear you’ve grown
attached to, the X1222USB lets you integrate them into the mix – bypassing the built-in FX processor.
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 bene ts of this technology,
as we have integrated our revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System into 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 speci c 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!
