Behringer Xenyx X1222USB Mixer with USB and Effects

This mixer is just what I wanted. The sound is clean and with the built in effects it sounds pretty darn cool. The only problem I have is I wish it had two more aux ports, but other than that it is a solid piece of machinery. Thank you Behringer.

Value for money, it’s worth every penny

Great mixer but needs more outputs. You get one set of XLRs and that's pretty much it. You can't use unbalanced out if you plan to also use USB...it's one or the other.

My friend and I started a podcast (called Oh Honey, coming out February 14th everywhere),and we had no idea what we were doing. I've never done anything with audio recording before, and I had to do a lot of research on exactly what we would need. We knew we wanted to be able to have guests, so we needed a mixer that would support at least 4 mics, and this was the most affordable and reasonable option that worked for us.IT COMES WITH everything you need to plug it into your computer and plug it into the wall for power. The USB cord is a few feet long, and so is the power cord. Both are standard and look high quality to me. The manual, which I read cover-to-cover, is very easy to read and understand. It's only probably 20 pages, and half of them are diagrams showing where to plug in different components.THE MACHINE ITSELF is very user friendly, especially considering that I've never done anything with audio before. Because we needed guests to be able to hear themselves as well, I purchased a Behringer 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amp, and that works really well for us. The knobs and controls are also high quality. I love having this thing on my desk because it looks SO legit. Within probably a half hour of unboxing, someone with no experience whatsoever with audio had everything plugged in and set up and working correctly. If I can do it, you can too.Overall, this product gave us everything we needed. It's easy to use, isn't too big or small, and works great!

This is the one! After using the 1202 (rotary channel knobs, 4 stereo channels) and then changing to the 1204 (channel sliders, but only 2 stereo channels), I am really liking the 1222. It has the sliders, 4 stereo channels, AND 2 sliders controlling monitor and effects send right down with the rest of them where they should be, not some hidden knob hard to get to on the fly, AND a slider for the 2-track return too! FINALLY I can balance all my inputs on the mixer and not fuss with volumes/gains on the computer/phone/cd player I'm sending from. All the channels are in a vertical row, much easier to keep track of the inputs as opposed to the stacked channels on the 1202. This does not have a PFL button BUT I think the separate level setting yellow LEDs up by the gain knobs are better for my mobile DJ use...maybe not as accurate as using PFL on the main meter but they are a constant visual aide to keep the input gain levels hot but not too hot. You simply keep them dialed to where the input occasionally flashes them. I would prefer the main XLR outs to be on the back like they are on the 1204 and I might miss the Solo buttons that the 1204 has too but I'll swap mixers if a gig needs that. All in all the 1222 has a great mix of features. I like the onboard graphic equalizer with feedback detect, stereo expand feature, and a great FX section. Good job Behringer!

We don't have a lot of room at the table. This mixer packs a punch. It sounds great on the air, and it has enough aux outputs that I can feed the house, network TV and others who want our audio.It travels well since it's so small. I only need one case for everything, including the mixer.I would highly reccomend this one.

First time using it out of the box, and it created a loud white noise during the middle of the K5 Graduation service. The sound only went away when the main fader was turned down. (All other faders were muted). I had to swap out sound boards to one I paid 50 bucks for. Trying to find a way to send this back, but I'm probably out of luck because I ordered it 6 months in advance of when I needed it.

I’ve read people giving Behringer a a bad rap, and maybe some of their products aren’t as good as others, but this product has more than met my expectations especially for the price point. I love the 5 band EQ, and the anti-feedback feature works amazingly well. The voice cancelling feature isn’t really that great, but it does knock down the vocals enough for karaoke on some songs. I guess it depends on how the songs were recorded. Other than that, it really is a nice board. The knobs don’t feel cheap, and they have a nice feel when you twiddle them. There is a nice resistance to them rather than some boards that are so loose you can’t peg them accurately. Digital readout for the FX is nice. I don’t use the FX , but they are not too shabby. Has many input options, more than other boards in this price range.My only regret is that for $50 more, I could have got the one with 6 gain channels. I’m still happy with this one though. For $200, this one is a winner in my book!
