The British EQ circuitry of vintage mixing consoles is renowned for its warm and high-quality sound. Behringer has incorporated similar circuitry into the channel EQ of the XENYX Q1204USB, delivering detailed and warm audio reminiscent of classic British consoles. The XENYX mic preamps in this mixer are also known for their sonic performance, clarity, and power. With a dynamic range of 130 dB and a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to above 200 kHz, these preamps offer studio-grade recording capabilities while preserving the rich sonic qualities needed for professional audio.
Gone are the days when recording required expensive equipment and studio time. Thanks to modern technology, personal recording is now accessible to anyone with a computer. The built-in bi-directional stereo USB audio interface allows the Behringer Q1204USB mixer to connect directly to a PC or Mac computer with a single USB cable. This means that any signal source connected to the mixer can be recorded directly to the hard drive, eliminating the need for additional gear and making recording easier than ever.
The one-knob compression function, available on all mono channels, allows users to dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals. This feature, often found in higher-end mixers, delivers powerful mixes with punch and clarity. The Q1204USB also has a wireless-ready design, making it compatible with Behringer’s digital wireless microphones. By connecting the mixer to a wireless receiver dongle, excess cables are eliminated, allowing for a more streamlined setup.
Other notable features of the Q1204USB include the Neo-classic British 3-band EQs, two aux sends per channel, clip LEDs, mute/alt functionality, subgroups with separate outputs, multi-functional stereo aux returns, and balanced main mix outputs. The mixer also comes with a control room/phones output and 2-track outputs for added convenience. Additionally, the Q1204USB is designed with a noise-free audio and superior transient response, ensuring high-quality sound.
