XENYX X2222USB Premium 22-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps and Compressors, British EQ, 24-Bit Multi-FX Processor and USB/Audio Interface

This purchase replaced an identical unit that i purchased 11 years ago. Unfortunately, the original unit installed in a studio failed after 11 years of daily use, due to a power supply failure that took the mic preamps with it. It was not an economical to repair. As the input/output wiring is in situ and i have been pleased with the mixers performance i decided to purchase an identical unit. It's not the quietest mixer around, those of you in the know will know what i mean by that, but it performs well with loads of facilities normally only found on more expensive units. It does the job that i want.

I own and use the behringer 3242fx mixer for big (analog) shows, and I have owned this behringer for about four or five years now... Just got another one because this is the best one I had. Let me explain: I'm a sound engineer and for live gigs also used a Mackie profx 16 channels that stopped working after three years, a Mackie VLZ 4 channel mixer (good, but there are no effects), a Soundcraft 24EFX mixer that has ok effects, but is heavy and too bulky and more expensive, and is not as easy to use. I also use the digital X18Air, but it has loads of issues with control, it keeps disconnecting from my Mac or iPad. I also have two Roland Octacaptures, a stinberg Cl2 for recordings, and the x32 (for big shows) and more non-mixer equipment, some on racks. This is my work. This is the best (for small gigs) mixer I have ever used. Ever. The best. The only negative thing I can say is that behringer does not sell these faders (potentiometers), or at least I can't get them here in Israel. Read the manual, play with it. Tips: never press a potentiometer with force. If you feel the slightest problem with the sliders, use a potentiometer spray, or it will ruin the potentiometer. Even a single sand grain can destroy a potentiometer, and render a mixer useless, so don't use any mixer in places that sand can get in it. Now after that review, can someone from behringer sell me some 60mm potentiometers?

This mixer was an upgrade for me. I'd previously been using a smaller 2 mic input behinrger mixer which only had one aux send and no inserts; I wanted a mixer with this funcaility to feed a looper from an aux send, as well as adding reverb. Those in the market for mixers will no doubt be aware that inserts and multiple sends/outputs are only available on large mixers, hence my choice of the x2222usb. On the whole, tHis mixer peforms beautifully and Im very happy with my purchase. The are certainly more pros thans cons! PROS The Sub group is a nice bonus for me to supplement my basic home recording setup. I foresee that this could be useful for monitoring/recording vocals i.e. sending dry vocals through the sub group outputs (to a recording device) whilst monitoring the vocals (with the main mix) with reverb. The compressors are nice and transparent. I feared that they might be "squishy" but they sound good to my ears. Each main (Mic) channel has a mute, solo, main and sub group switch. Each main (Mic) channel has 3 sends and an insert. The phones/control room has a nice bank of switches to dictate what your monitoring through phones/control room outs. Ease of use is worthy of note. I've been using it for a few days and already am confortable with most of the functions. Highly recommended for those wanting an introduction into PA/recoridng/mixing/live sound equipement. CONS The other built in effects are ok for the price, but each preset just seems too much. You can tame it by adjusting the channel and master send/return volumes, but the ability to configure one of the parameters would be nice. This can be overcome by inserting your own rev/fx unit. For my purposes, its a non-issue. All the pots are plastic shaft types and probably PCB mounted. This not uncommon these days, but Im wary that if these shap, replacement will be tricky it not near impossible (hence 4 stars and not 5). ***Im aware of the USB in/out but deliberately not mentioned as I ahvent tested it. One youtube video suggested that the USB out can be configured so that each Mic channel is outputted individually via USB and therefore could be simulaneously recorded individually. I do suspect this to be false. I suspect the USB out only carries the stereo main mix L and R. USB is still useful for home pc recording though.***

I absolutely love this item so so much. I'm quite young so I've only really started music production but wanted something to play guitar into my Mac for, this was absolutely perfect and for a good price. It arrived next day after ordering it even though I didn't pay for next day so that was an added bonus. Anyone looking to easily record guitars, drums, vocals etc should definitely look into buying this, I highly recommend.

Great purchase and the best value for money, which has done us great so far.

This is used for small meetings and musical performances at our church and I have fixed it to a wall. It is connected to a set of powered monitors and a loop system. It is quiet, capable and compact.

I've used it for 3 months and have had nothing but trouble so far. Can't get a clean recording because every way I try it makes noise. Can't use the USB interface because it makes noise, the outputs make noise. Everything makes a noise. This is by far the worst buy ever.

Easy to use and lots of features I recommend

Great

Fantastic mixing board! This mixing board is able to power my 7 XLR drum mics, preamp both guitars and send them to their own full 50W amps, return the guitars with effects, mix in a keyboard, play a metronome for recording (which won't be heard in playback), insert audio from a RCA source, and mix everything down to 2 channels which can be sent over USB to a computer, and then run monitor audio back to the board which can be heard over headphones (and also sent to the control room). Wow! It does all that? Yes. This 22 channel mixer WILL do it all. Set up is a breeze. It comes with mounting hardware if you have a road case to put it in. Fully able to record and/or stage mix a 4 person band. I do advise getting another piece of hardware if you need more than 1 headphone port (I currently use a two way splitter as most recording is done with only two people). Sound quality is fantastic if you use high quality shielded cables.
