Xenyx X2442 USB : Fantastic mixer for live band!

I wanted a mixer that could be used in both smaller (4 piece) and larger (7 piece) line-ups. This mixer really is fantastic value for money offering plenty of channels for instruments and microphone inputs.

The mixer itself is easy to use and navigate, as the various effects (monitor, reverb etc) all have a different colour. This makes it very easy to spot and adjust on the go.

The only thing I'm annoyed at is that it says that there are 3 monitor sends. Whilst this is technically true, only 2 of the sends can be adjusted on the mixer. A small yet important point to make.

I would recommend buying a case for any mixer, to help preserve the look and wear. Personally I bought one by 'Gator', which was the perfect size.

All in all, I would recommend this mixer to anyone looking for an affordable, great quality option. In future, I may invest in a larger model (mainly due to the monitor outputs) but I'm looking forward to many more gigs with this one.
