These two additional channels can also be used for stereo line-level devices, such as keyboards or sound modules. The X1222USB also comes equipped with channel Inserts for inputs 1-4, a stereo 7-band graphic EQ, which can be assigned to the main or monitor buses, and our proprietary FBQ Feedback Detection System. Other features include full-sized faders for MON and FX SENDs, our XPQ 3D stereo surround effect (creates a broader, enhanced stereo image), and a handy Voice Canceller function for removing vocals from pre-recorded tapes and CDs for "instant-karaoke" applications. XENYX USB Series mixers are designed to handle your live gigs, and they provide the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio interfaces, XENYX USB mixers come with all the recording and editing software you'll need to turn your computer system into a complete, high-performance home recording studio. Sonically Superior Mic Preamps All XENYX mixers have one thing in common - great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology - and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren't looking. Sublimely Musical British EQ The British consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock and roll - without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. One-Knob Compression Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous - dynamic compression. What is compression? We're glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs have great difficulty mastering. Our "one-knob" compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products in this class - but standard on all XENYX USB mixers. Effective FX All XENYX USB Series mixers (except the 1204USB) feature our new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music. Recording Bliss There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio - and that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That's where XENYX USB mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive. Which brings us to software. Free Would Be Nice! Because you'll want to take full advantage of the XENYX USB Series mixers' recording and podcasting potential, we've thrown in a massive software package that includes Audacity (the most popular open source audio editor), Podifier, Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear (a great selection of podcasting software). You're ready to go live on your PC or Mac computer right out of the box! You also get more than 100 virtual instruments and 50 FX plug-ins, turning your computer into a complete home-based or mobile recording studio from input to output. Value No matter what your audio mixing needs are, BEHRINGER USB Series mixers provide the performance and features that can take your talent to the next level, at a price that is sure to amaze you. Try one on today - we have one available in your size! ".

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!

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!
I bought a Behringer Xenyx X1222USB a little under a year ago. It’s been working great for my application using it as the main board for live gigs with a small band (vocals, a couple of mics on amps for string instruments, keyboards in direct, a wind controller and an iPad via an Alesis IOdock for backing tracks).
This whole time I hadn’t used the built in FX, as I’ve been using an external FX box. I finally got around to checking them out, auditioning all the presets and messing with the various parameters, when all of the sudden (about 15-20 min into this) I got this really loud rapidly repeating clicking sound that just masked everything else. The only way to make it stop was to shut down the unit. After powering back up, the mixer behaved just fine, as long as all the controls for the FX were in the minimum settings. As soon as I would bring the FX back in, the same thing would happen again within 15-20 min. I tested it several times and I made sure that all controls were in their nominal settings (i.e., I was sure I was not overloading the FX unit). Luckily this took place when I was in my home studio. I had gigs coning up the following 2 days so I convinced myself that this only happened when the FX processor was engaged. Sure enough, I did not have any problems at the gigs over the next 2 days and everything went fine (with the FX off).
The following day, before calling Behringer, I did some research and found that many people have experienced similar problems with FX units on Behringer mixers going back a few years (although I didn’t find anything specifically for this model). Some people attributed the problem to cheap capacitors made in China (I can’t confirm this one way or the other) but frankly I was a bit disappointed that Behringer hadn’t addressed the issue on newer models, given the number of complains, although I have noticed that some models now use a different version on the FX processor (don’t know if these address the issue or not).
In any case, I called Behringer and much to my surprise, I was talking to someone within a couple of minutes. The service person was very knowledgeable and asked a few pertinent questions and she quickly assessed that indeed it sounded like a faulty FX unit. She emailed the RMA while I was still on the phone and told me that they typically have a 10 business day turnaround. I sent it in on a Tuesday. UPS tracking said they had it on Thursday. By the following Thursday it was at my from door! I was really blown away. Everything seems to be working just fine.
The only negative is that you have to pay for shipping to get the box the them. Once they determine that it’s indeed a warranty issue, they’ll fix it and ship it back to you for free. So be sure to save your box and packing materials, in case you have to send it in.
Btw, it has a 1-yr warranty, but if you register it within 90 days, they extend it to 3 years. I had not registered it, but the Behringer rep told me it was covered for 3 years anyhow. You may want to register your unit just in case.
I have not yet used the mixer as an interface so I cannot speak to that feature.

Anche questo mixer non fa eccezione.
Il manuale incluso è in lingua inglese, tuttavia non l'ho trovata una difficoltà. Infatti è scritto in un inglese basilare comprensibile davvero da chiunque abbia un minimo di padronanza con la lingua.
Il mixer dispone di ben sei ingressi microfonici bilanciati, tutti alimentati con tensione Phantom.
I primi quattro canali risultano essere monofonici puri mentre gli altri sono tutti canali stereofonici. Molto utili se si vuole collegare una sorgente audio esterna come un lettore CD o una fonte già amplificata.
Per ogni canale è poi possibile equalizzare il suono su tre bande, bassi medi e alti, dando quelle sfumature che fanno davvero la differenza nel mix finale. Oltre a questo è possibile inviare ogni canale verso l'uscita ausiliaria per un banco effetti esterno o ancora inviare il singolo canale al banco effetti integrato.
Per ogni canale troviamo poi un tasto per il muto, molto comodo se vogliamo mutare solo il canale senza perdere le impostazioni dello slider.
Troviamo poi l'interfaccia USB, anche questa di notevole qualità, che può essere usata in modo bidirezionale contemporaneo, permettendo sia l'invio di segnali audio da un PC che la ricezione nello stesso tempo. Proprio questa funzione risulta particolarmente utile per l'uso in live streaming o registrazioni. Infatti non occorrerà interfacciare una scheda audio esterna ma potrete fare tutto già dal mixer.
Trova anche posto il connettore per un pedale esterno, davvero utile per inserire e disinserire effetti al volo.
Insomma un mixer totalmente versatile utile sia per registrazioni da studio che per serate un pò più dinamiche.
Sicuramente un prodotto che valuterei come semiprofessionale.
