Product Overview

The XENYX X1222USB mixer features four XENYX mic preamps on channels 1 to 4, known for ultra-low noise and high headroom.

Equipped with a 24-bit dual-engine multi-FX processor, the mixer offers 16 editable, professional-grade presets such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, and multi-effects. The built-in stereo USB/audio interface connects directly to your computer, ideal for recording, editing, and podcasting with included software and over 150 instrument/effect plug-ins.

Sonically Superior Mic Preamps

All XENYX mixers feature high-performance mic preamps with 130 dB dynamic range and bandwidth extending from below 10 Hz to above 200 kHz. These preamps deliver transparent, crystal-clear audio quality comparable to expensive stand-alone units.

Studio-Quality Compressor

The studio-grade compressor, inspired by classic 1970s studio equipment, provides transparent and musical compression. It enhances sustain and smooths signal peaks, ideal for vocals, slap bass, or aggressive metal lines, ensuring your sound sits perfectly in the mix.
