The Behringer XENYX 1204USB mixer packs 12 channels of pristine audio into a compact, rack-mountable unit. Loaded with XENYX mic preamps, this intuitive mixer is ideal for live performances and studio recording applications. Take your productions to the next level with the feature-packed Behringer XENYX 1204USB mixer.

Premium XENYX Mic Preamps

The Behringer XENYX 1204USB mixer features 12 channels, with four mono channels equipped with XENYX mic preamps. These ultratransparent, studio-grade preamps provide up to 130dB of dynamic range, extending well-below 10Hz and above 200kHz. Get clear, noise-free signal whether you're miking vocals, acoustic instruments, amps or drums. The remaining channels include dual stereo line level inputs to connect keyboards, sound modules or MP3 players.

Record Directly to Your Computer via USB

Thanks to the built-in 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface, the 1204USB XENYX mixer makes recording a breeze. Simply connect it to your computer using a single USB cable and you can capture every channel directly to your DAW. The bidirectional data transfer allows you to play audio from your computer through the mixer as well, for playback, streaming or mix-minus. Going from live performance to studio recording is smooth and efficient.

3-Band British EQ

Every mono channel is equipped with 3-band British-style EQ, the same circuitry found in classic '60s-era consoles. The lows have a warm bump, the mids are transparent and the highs have a silky sheen—perfect for instruments and vocals. Cut or boost up to 15dB on each band to fine-tune the frequency response. You get superior musical results, even with extreme EQ settings.

Dial In Compression

The one-knob compressor on each mono channel makes it simple to balance and control dynamics. It's the kind of premium feature usually found only on high-end mixers. Turn the knob clockwise to easily apply the perfect amount of compression to tame peaks, allowing you to create a more even, consistent mix. Vocals and instruments will sit right where you want them in the mix.

Expand With External Effects

The 1204USB XENYX mixer is equipped with pre-fader AUX Sends on each channel for incorporating external effects devices into your signal chain. Enhance your mixes with studio-grade reverb, delay, chorus and more to craft your signature sound. The two stereo AUX Returns let you route these effects back into the mix for rich, immersive tone.

Record and Edit Audio With Included Software

The XENYX 1204USB mixer comes with a massive software bundle for audio recording, editing, mixing and more. Record vocals, guitar, keyboards or any input with Audacity, then edit your recordings with the included audio restoration tools. Create and release your own podcasts with Podifier, Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear. Remix tracks with the included energyXT2.5 DAW. You also get over 100 virtual instrument plug-ins for limitless sound design.
