The Behringer XENYX X2222USB Mixer is known for delivering a premium-quality sound performance. This is achieved through its 8 integrated mic preamps and channel EQs, which are derived from classic British tones of the 1960s and 70s. The mixer also features 8 studio-level compressors with one-knob control for easy use, as well as 3-band EQs that provide a warm and musical sound. Additionally, the XENYX X2222USB comes with 16 editable effect presets, including reverb, chorus, delay, and more. It also has a built-in stereo USB interface, allowing users to connect the mixer directly to their computer and edit their music with the free included audio software. To provide flexible installation options, the analog mixer includes rack mount brackets.
If you’re looking for even more features, the X2222USB won’t disappoint. It offers eight XENYX mic channels with inserts, dedicated compressors, 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids, and three Aux Sends. In addition, it has four stereo line-level channels, two convenient mix subgroups, and onboard 24-bit digital FX processing with dual user-addressable parameter controls. The mixer is enclosed in a rack-ready roadworthy steel chassis, ensuring durability and reliability.
One standout feature of all XENYX mixers is their sonically superior mic preamps. Offering high headroom and great sound quality, these mic preamps rival standalone boutique preamps. With a dynamic range of 130 dB and a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz, the XENYX preamps deliver transparent and crystal-clear performance.
The XENYX X2222USB also includes a sublimely musical British EQ. Based on the circuitry of legendary British consoles from the 1960s and 70s, this EQ allows users to add warmth and detailed musical character to their signals. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
For easy use, the XENYX X2222USB features “one-knob” compression on all mono channels. Compression is an essential tool for achieving sonic balance by limiting the dynamic range of a signal. The XENYX’s one-knob compression allows users to dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, resulting in powerful mixes with punch and clarity.
The mixer also boasts an effective FX processor with 16 editable studio-grade presets. These presets include reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, and multi-effects. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music.
With the built-in bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, the X2222USB allows users to connect the mixer directly to their PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. This feature makes personal recording accessible to anyone with access to a computer. The mixer comes with a comprehensive software package that includes popular programs like Audacity, Podifier, Juice, Podnova, and Golden Ear. It also includes over 100 virtual instruments and 50 FX plug-ins, turning any computer into a complete recording studio.
To further enhance the recording experience, the X2222USB comes with XT Software’s energyXT2.5 Compact BEHRINGER Edition. This digital audio workstation provides tools for manipulating audio and MIDI files, allowing users to turn their song ideas into professional recordings. The software includes a multi-FX processor, a built-in synthesizer and sampler, and a drum machine that can be controlled via an external controller or programmed in step-write mode.
In terms of value, BEHRINGER USB Series mixers always deliver. They offer high performance and a range of features that can take your talent to the next level, all at an affordable price. The X2222USB is no exception.
