Behringer Xenyx X2442 USB 5-stars Reviews

Great.

We use this desk to it's utmost limits and so far it hasn't let us down. It maybe on budget side of things price-wise but it does the job, as good as any other desk could do.

A great little desk

I bought this desk for a install rig in a room for my band to practice in. We needed a way to amplify vocals as well provide monitoring for everyone (3 people).

With this desk it was easy, it has 4 Aux outputs which we can then route to a 4 channel headphone amp, this way we run everything except drums through the desk and can provide everyone with their own monitor mix too. On top of that it also has 2 stereo headphone outs for the main mix if we needed that as well.

While we got it primarily for monitoring it would still be very good at smaller shows, with a total of 16 channels (10 XLR), built in compression, EQ and effects it can easily provide a decent mix for a low level gig.

Simply it's a great little desk packed full of features with quality you'd expect to find in higher priced desks.

Incredible value for the money, more features than you could ever need and reliable

Some people are a bit 'sniffy' about Behringer products, but if this mixer is anything to go by I can't understand their snobbery. This mixer does all I could ever want from it and the multitude of patching and monitoring options always fits the bill.The onboard reverbs are excellent too. At the price there's nothing else like it and if it ever were to break down in the future (not likely) I'd probably buy another one again, because at this price I'd be crazy not to.

Super features, half the price

I have owned 4-5 Behringer mixers over the past decade, this one seems to be one of the most serious pieces, built for both studio and live, and that's how I use it in both ways. I generally do not have troubles with the mixers, they play good. Of course if you pay 1500 euros for a mixer, you expect more, but for about 300 euros this one does a decent and full job! Loaded with features and convenient settings

My Behringer Xenyx X2442 USB review

I bought 2 of these over the last 2 years as I needed 16 direct out channels to connect to my 2 M-Audio delta 1010lt cards in my desktop pc.Using a Behringer Ultrapatch inbetween I can bring each of up to 16 tracks recorded back to the mixers for mixdown.Using them on a daily basis with decent mikes\external pre amps and processors,I have found them faultless without any unwanted noise.As a usb interface,I am not in a position to say anything,as I have said,I use internal sound cards for the higher sample rate.

Excellent mixer, Awesome value for money!

I use this mixer with a 10 piece live band, the mixer takes everything from vocals, bass, horns etc... The sound is fantastic, the built in compression is very easy to use and adds a very professional finish. The routing is fantastic with several aux sends for monitors etc. The built in effects are very good compared to other mixers. Finally the USB makes live recording and home use very affordable. Good quality. Only downside is that all 12 channels are sent as 1 channel when recording. Would have been great for each channel to be sent separately to the computer. All in all, a mixer of this size with its amazing array of features would be 10x the price from other companies. Behringer have done an amazing job to offer such good value for money to bring equipment of this scale to musicians with smaller budgets. 10/10!

Mixer Mix-Up

After coming from a Behringer Power Mixer to a Mixer plus Power Amp was a bit confusing to say the least, but after some practice with all the sockets and knobs - must say the sound quality is far superior

Super versatile

If you are buying this desk, then like me, you are on a budget and looking for flexibility and functionality. This desk is all of that. The 10mic pres give you some head room on smaller gigs and the fx and routing options are ample for what most people are going to with it.

Quality is fine and is hoping up well to regular gigs with my band and hire by others.
