Behringer Xenyx X1622USB Reviews

Toffe mixer!

Toffe mixer! Handige functies en veel kanalen! Bij ons maken we vooral gebruik van de vele uitgangen.

Want naast de main output beschikt de mixer ook over 2 sub outputs, die je kan toewijzen aan verschillende kanalen. Dan is er ook nog een mono output waarbij je per kanaal het volume kan instellen. Dankzij de pre knopjes kan je kanalen ook onafhankelijk maken van de faders, zodat het signaal ook door de mono out gaat zonder dat het door main out komt.

En dan zijn er nog toffe effecten die je kan gebruiken. En als je deze niet nodig hebt, kan je dit ook nog als mono output gebruiken.

Zo kom je dus neer op 6 outputs, + control room output.

Mogelijkheden genoeg dus!

Does the job, great value

Can't fault it, great features, excellent value, hasn't let us down!

I've lost count

I've been using Behringer mixers for at least 25 years (shout out to my old MX 2642a!) and they've always served me well. Just like all of them the X1622 offers a ton of features, a solid build and a good sound at an unmatched price. I could've done with the (limited) effects, but they're there if you need to add a touch of reverb, and they sound good.

Compact and convenient

A wonderful device. Very convenient. There is everything you need. At the same time, it is compact and relatively inexpensive.

Pretty nice

A little mixer which very good to connect a few microphones and 1 PC. For this price is a brilliant mixer

Great versatile unit

Use: Home studio: acoustic/electric guitar, drum machine & vocals.

Pro's: Solid design, sliders and pots seem robust so far. Good FX and control options. Excellent range of inputs to expand beyond use described above. Sound Quality excellent also. I often see reviewers question the build quality of Behringer mixers but my experience with this unit has only been positive thus far.

Con's: I have yet to encounter an issue that I would specifically identify as a negative.

Summary: For the price range I think this unit is extremely versatile and powerful and I would recommend to others.

Quite good, not fully suited for home studio use.

I'm using this for a bedroom studio, as a way to have all my equipment running into software plus, enabling me to record some live stuff and easily play instruments etc. This mixer does fulfill those tasks, but it feels as if its not fully suited for a home studio environment. The quality is typical for mid range Behringer gear, I own the Rd-6 and it's pretty much the same story. Mostly plastic and cheap feeling controls, but it does get the job done.

I didn't find the USB audio interface to work very well so I have it running into a 2i2. Effects are quite good, possibly best part about it.

Très pratique

Très chouette table de mixage pour des captations vidéos. Facile à utiliser.

Great mixing table for many purposes

This is a must-have for many occasions. If you have a sound system with several sources and want a simple mixing table, this is it. If you want to go live with your system, then this is it. Great table.

Pros:

- Many features

- EQ and FX

- N. tracks

Cons:

For the price tag, none.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Good features packed in bad quality box. Knobs move unevenly. Poor housing assembly quality.

Full featured and affordable for on the road

This is a very fair priced, full featured mixer, whih allows for DAW connectivity and is still compact enough to take along for road shows.

The sound is good, though probably not the best, an the features are really nice and expansive. Effects on board also add a nice extra touch, and sound overall good.

I bought this mixer as second mixer for road shows, but noticed my home model begins showing issues in terms of knobs and sliders, so I fear this one might also start showing these issues in a few years.

Still, it is worht it'sp rice, and offers what I expected from it.

It is an afforable and entry level option, where the build quality shouldnt bring you off.

Great little mixer

This mixer meets your needs as a an amateur and the basic needs you have. Price and quality do really match.

Good for it's price!

Use it for live music sessions and also as a DJ.

Not very responsive in high tones, doesn't compare with the same dimensions Dynacord.

Very good for beginners.

scratchy knobs after 1.5 years

Firstly let me get this straight, I don't bash Behringer and don't have much time for those that do.

It is what it is.. .a great piece of kit for a starter setup at very low cost.

Seriously, 16 Channels for under 200 euro (as it was when i bought it) is a lot of bang for buck!

The sound path is very clean, with a very low noise floor, even after continuous use for more than one year now.

The FX are very decent, I love the reverb (03) for my analog synths and the Chorus is lush.

However (and here comes the "Behringer" effect) a few months ago the most used knobs (FX send) started to become scratchy and now other are starting to do the same.

Behringer makes great budget gear, that gives you very decent performance to get started with whatever it is you might want to be doing, but don't expect it to have the same durability as equipment that will cost you nearly twice as much or more.

Again, this is not a slight against the manufacturer, rather a reminder to set your expectations according to your budget :)

I am aware they do make more upmarket gear as well and

I cannot speak for that.

Logic would state that those things have higher quality components :)

To sum up:

You get a very good budget desk but be prepared to upgrade your gear in future.

Powerful for a hobbyist

Here is a little review of Behringer XENYX X1622USB analog mixer. First of all - what was I looking for on the market? I was after 8 or 16 channel mixer to be part of my small home studio to mix synth, drum machine, sampler, Traktor, and 2xPC audio; to be able to record either via USB or FW and most important - to have slider controls and be within £100 - £150 price range. I spent fair amount of time researching and have limited my search to Mackie, Allen Heath and Soundcraft brands, Behringer was the very last on the list as I have had small 5 channel XENYX before and was not delighted with it. Why did I buy this Behringer then? At the very last moment I realized that all other consoles I was looking at have had less stereo inputs that I needed - XENYX 1644 has got 4 stereo channels + RCA input and only this model was matching stereo input requirement along with the price. The only concern left was the size - will it take much space on my desk? Despite concerns I placed and order and must admit that mixer I received has actually impressed me: sweepable mids, plenty of FX send/return options - either to internal FX processor or external, compressor + gain + low cut on first 4 channels, advertised 4 ST channels, FX footswitch, MUTE + SOLO on each channel, main output LED meter and CLIP + SOLO LEDs on each channel and compact size (dimensions are similar to 14" laptop wide open). For a hobbyist musician/producer like me within this price bracket it was a perfect solution. It has offered plenty of features and maybe even more than I needed. Would rate 4.5

Amazing sound and feature packed.

I compared this to directly to Soundcraft / Allen & Heath mixers and the preamps and eq were just as clear and powerful. However this mixer is half the price and feature packed!

Cheap PC USB mixer interface

Very pleased with this - the mixer works well, sound quality is good, the mic preamps sound good, surprisingly well put together, and works very easily with my studio PC. The only gripe I'd have is that it can only record 2 channels at once to the computer - mind you multiple channels is a feature you need to pay a lot more to get, so it's understandable. More than any other piece of kit this combined with Reaper DAW software made more of a difference to the sound of my band's recordings than anything else I've bought. For the money it's fantastic. Highly recommended.
