SONICALLY SUPERIOR MIC PREAMPS

All XENYX mixers have one thing in commongreat-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps.

XENYX preamps offer a staggering 30 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 0 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you werent looking.

SUBLIMELY MUSICAL BRITISH EQ

The British consoles of the 960s and 70s changed the sound of rock and rollwithout them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.

ONE-KNOB COMPRESSION

Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimousdynamic compression. What is compression Were glad you asked. Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs have great difficulty mastering. Our one-knob compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for products in this classbut standard on all XENYX USB mixers.

EFFECTIVE FX

All XENYX USB Series mixers (except the 204USB) feature our new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 6 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music.

RECORDING BLISS

There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studioand that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer Thats where XENYX USB mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable.
