Xenyx X2442 USB : Great Desk

This is a very good & useful mixing desk. You've got to be the pre-amps are not of the best quality but at the price you've got to consider them when looking for new equipment. This desk Xenyx 2442 is extremely easy to use. The effects are very good & the built in compressor is a fantastic addition. It's a good desk for a home studio especially as it has the benefit of the USB for PC connection. MY only criticism is that the inputs are divided between the to of the desk above the faders (fine) then all the other inputs, outputs & send & returns are situated at the rear of the unit. This is not ideal for mounting the unit upright. Having said that I now own two of these desks & this one replaced a similar desk bought about 12 years ago. So overall it makes pretty good value for money.
