BehringerXenyx QX1222USB Mixer with USB and Effects

I’m very happy with this mixer, after just a few days of experimenting with it. Though it nominally is said to have 12 inputs (4 mono + 4 stereo pairs), there are more ways to add sources, like the 2-TR RCA inputs and 2 auxiliary returns. The USB is bi-directional, potentially adding yet another. The compressors on four microphone inputs are easy to use and effective. The XPQ stereo field expander is useful and really improves the sound. The effects engine offers dozens of types, each of which has 3 variable parameters. Output is very quiet; I hear absolutely nothing when audio isn’t passing through. I haven’t tested the feedback detection system, but expect it will be helpful using the 7-band equalizer.After saying that, a few things bother me. The FX feed from each channel is taken before the mute switches so delay or echo added to a source still leaks through when muted. The phones output is always tied to the main bus, and can’t be switched to the monitor feed. Though it sounds like a very neat feature, the voice cancellation doesn’t work very well; don’t expect to use your regular music for karaoke. Lastly, it would be nice to have 1/4 inch main outs in addition to the XLR jacks.All said, this is a terrific product at a fair price. I wish it were perfect, but few things are. Unless one of the items in the last paragraph is critical to you, I’d strongly suggest this mixer.

This thing has been great for my intended use. Haven't had any problems with the unit and i'm happy with the purchase so far.

Easy to set up, decent sound. All the slider buttons pop off very easily.

Behringers history was high noise floor and mediocre build quality for years. Twenty years later I bought one out of desperation (had a show) and was surprised at the sound. Keeping it as a backup.

Can it make beats

unit has hissssss. ITS NOISY Noisy.

I feel like I got the best mixer available for my budget. My only regret is I wish I would have got the next size up. I already ran out of tracks. Lol

I like the mixer and it seems to do the job but ... good luck with the instructions. While it's great that the instructions are written in almost every language known to modern man, the instructions are unclear. It's frustrating trying to find an answer to all of the questions I have.
