As usual Behringer offers plenty of ins and outs. Mic channels have a built-in one-knob compressor (good for live events), gain trim pot and phantom power supply (48v). Mixer feels heavy and sturdy, no complaints here.Ĥ mono/mic + 2 stereo channel strips with 3-band EQ, pre/post AUX sends and pannning. Everything feels solid and it has not yet fallen apart (2+ years later). Plastic knobs and metallic audio connectors. Behringer has always offered plethora of options and if you are not an audiophile and can accept certain deficit of pro audio equipment shine it will do the job just about as any other pricier brand. Like many of you out there I'm always looking out for a good deal on price-vs-features.
Since all of the post-processing is done on a computer I didn't need a built-in FX processor (as in the similar model Xenyx X1204 USB from the same price category). Ability to quickly connect/disconnect equipment without ruining existing patching was essential aspect.
I needed a budget desktop mixer (hey, I'm a student) to interconnect many of my audio devices to a single stereo input on the USB audio interface.
