Xenyx X1204USB

Premium 12-Input 2/2-Bus Mixer with Xenyx Mic Preamps & Compressors, British EQs, 24-Bit Multi-FX Processor and USB/Audio Interface

The compact X1204USB mixer allows you to effortlessly achieve premium- quality sound, thanks to 4 onboard studio-grade Xenyx Mic Preamps and ultra-musical 'British' channel EQs. And our easy-to-use 'one-knob' compressors provide total dynamic control for the ultimate in punch and clarity, while respecting all the power and emotion you pack into every note. Add to this our 24-bit, dual engine Multi-FX processor with 16 editable, professional-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects – and the X1204USB becomes an incredibly versatile mixer for your live performances.

But the X1204USB wasn’t just designed to handle your live gigs; it also provides the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional- quality recordings. Along with a built-in USB/audio interface, the Xenyx X1204USB comes with all the recording and editing software needed to turn your computer into a complete, high-performance home recording studio.

Sonically Superior Mic Preamps

All Xenyx mixers have one thing in common – great-sounding, high headroom Xenyx mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. Xenyx preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 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 weren’t looking.

One-Knob Compression

Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous – dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re 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 find challenging. 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 class – but standard on the Xenyx X1204USB mixer.

Channel 7/8 Pre button sticks in the engagued position when pressed, and won't release.

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

Just got the Behringer Xenyx X1204USB mixer and I really was impressed. The knobs, faders, and switches all felt solid (compressor pots feel flimsy though), but there is one button that now sticks in the engaged position which is on channel 7/8. It's the Pre fader button, and that shocked me since every other one is flawless (knock on wood), and even the first time I tested the one that is now bad worked like a charm. I didn't even press that hard (these are like ball point pen buttons in which they latch when pressed down) on it before it would not disengage.

For $200 I do expect a product that doesn't break after a simple test (engage/disengage). Is it worth returning for a new one? To be honest I am debating this, but here's the issue. If could get a replacement that is worse and half of the buttons could stick in the engaged position, or perhaps I could end up with other issues such as bad faders, POTS or whatever. One switch isn't the end of the world, but it does stink.

One thing to note before buying the X1204USB (or any in the Xenyx family) is that while this is USB, it WILL NOT (repeat) WILL NOT multi track record for you. Unlike a Studio Live mixer from Presonus which can muti track record into the DAW, all you can do in a XENYX is record in 2 track stereo into your DAW. Definitely not what you'd want in your home studio. Even podcasting you have to send it all to 2 tracks (even with 4 mic outs and instrument (line in). Makes it tough to isolate the audio for a good mix down.

Over all this is a decent entry level mixer, but don't expect everything under the sun. Even with what this has, it is still very basic. I've been recording for years, and have been a musician for many years, my experience say this is okay, but there are better mixers out there if you spend a bit more.

Exceptional value for money! Beware the drivers!

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

This mixing board is really great, and the price is right too. It boggles my mind that someone spend nearly the same amount on a USB interface as this entire mixing board which also interfaces via USB.

Regardless, the reason for my review is actually a warning

*********************************************************************
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE BEHRINGER DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 7

Reason: While troubleshooting a hissing sound in my audio (turned out to be a capture card... still isolating the issue, but not related to drivers) I decided to install the "official" Behringer drivers per the recommendation of a random person on Google. TERRIBLE idea. Immediately, I noticed a huge reduction in the number of recording and playback modes over USB, but after some time I realized my system had become wildly unstable. I disabled my onboard sound in the BIOS thinking there was some type of conflict with my onboard sound, but then found out the issue was related to the drivers I had installed (mind you, the "default" Windows 7 drivers worked PERFECTLY FINE). After numerous blue screens and audio cutting in and out, I began using the inputs/outputs to my sound card bypassing USB all together. Seemed a little silly as a huge selling point was the USB interface. Even though I uninstalled the drivers and uninstalled everything I could find related to the drivers, I could not get the drivers completely off of my PC. I did get to a point where the device wouldn't install at all, but it still recognised it as "BEHRINGER blah blah". This told me that somehow Windows in its infinite wisdom was still identifying the device differently than it used to (the default Windows driver that's assigned labels the device as "2- USB Audio CODEC").

Finally, I searched my entire hard drive, and registry, for "behringer" "busb2902" and "busbwdm" (with the sound board uninstalled and unplugged). I deleted literally every reference I could (warning: this is very wreckless, but I was prepared to reformat my PC anyway because I intend to sometime soon). I then rebooted into safe mode and did it again to verify I did not miss anything. Once I booted back up, finally success! I am back on the default "2- USB Audio CODEC" drivers and am not experiencing any of the problems I was as a result of the erroneous drivers.

Now, you may be thinking that others have not had the same problems with the drivers. This may be true, but I stick by my advice to stick to the default drivers for 2 key points:
1) The default drivers work absolutely fine, so there is no need to install the ones from Behringer, so why take the risk?
2) The default drivers offer numerous more configuration options and recording modes than the ones supplied by Behringer, oddly enough.
*********************************************************************

Regarding the unit itself, I do like it but there are some things to keep in mind.

Comments on the USB interface:
The USB input is strange, and it's not easy to control. The only thing you can do is bus it into your headphone monitoring, and you can bus it back out to the master, but that's it. No volume controls, no EQ, and you can't use fx/aux on it either. If you're using ALT 3-4 as a submix, you also have no option of sending it to that submix. It's quite frustrating and difficult to use. With regard to USB out, with Behringer's drivers you just have an option for 44.1K or 48K output and it's based on the main bus. Again, no volume option what so ever. This can be a real pain if you need to actually use the main mix out to something, and simultaneously use the USB output as well - this basically makes it impossible to mix it so that they are both at optimal volume. You'll inevidibly be stuck with mixing one correctly, then the other one you will have to deal with it being too loud or too quiet - and on that note, it does seem to go in a little hot. You can control the recording volume within windows, but this isn't optimal and riding levels isn't going to be an option. Would it have been so hard to make a button to pipe the USB into channel 7/8 so that we could have some control over it? Finally, this is a prosumer device... why can't it support 96khz on the USB bus? would that be asking too much?

Comments on the board itself:
The preamps in this board are better than expected. As with most preamps, they do tend to get some pretty gnarly noise in the last 10-20db of boost, but you shouldn't be pushing them that far. Even for my naturally quiet shotgun mic, the preamps offer me plenty of headroom that I don't need to boost that high on gain to attain unity gain. I will warn though, the preamps in this board seem to color the audio add a lot of warmth to the audio (typical of tube-style preamps). I like it a lot, but if it isn't what you were expecting be warned (again, this is typical of tube style preamps, so you wont notice a think if that is what you typically use).

The built in compressors worked exactly like i thought they would - decent, and wonderful for live events, but best to leave them off for recordings as you can do more controlled and precise compression in post processing. Still, this feature is absolutely outstanding and works well! The EQ is decent and what I would expect from a board of this price. Sure I would have preferred a mid-sweep or more EQ positions, but I don't know that I would have been willing to pay the price for those features.

The AUX channel is wonderful, but I was disappointed to find that it is attached to the master mix. For example, if something is turned down on the master mix or muted on the master mix, having it turned up in the aux channel will not send any audio through (even with the pre selector enabled, which I was sure would rectify the problem). For this reason, I couldn't use the AUX channel the way I was hoping and has kinda been a real bummer because I am now needing a solution for said problem. I do find it a bit odd that it's mono out stereo in, but I guess that makes sense when used in the context of external sound processing.

The FX channel is also wonderful, and the on board sound effects are all quite good. What I would expect to find on any sound board I've used in my day really, from many reverb settings to a pitch shifter your basic FX are all there. I thought they did above and beyond on this for such a cheap board, I found myself impressed (but the FX I really don't have a need for unfortunately). I believe the FX channel does not behave like the AUX channel and sends regardless of which mix it's in (pre-fader, one might say). I haven't confirmed this yet, but am in process of exploring this as an alternative to using AUX as I don't need the digital FX anyway, as nice as they are.

Panning is well... panning. However, I am glad that it exists on this basic sound board. The phones mix has an amazing amount of power, and I typically keep it below 25%. I was glad, because this is a shortcoming of some boards. Nothing more annoying than mixing for a band/concert and not being able to hear your monitoring headphones over the mains. Doubt that will ever be an issue with this board, it's got quite a bit of volume. Granted I wont be needing the board for this type of use, but if you did decide to use it in that fashion, I'm sure it would perform admirably. I am annoyed by the double sliders for the main mix and alt 3-4 as I always am, but I guess I see why it's separated that way (couldn't we have a panner knob for the main and alt 3-4 rather than individual sliders?). I have seen this in so many sound boards I've used that I can't really fault them for it though. Surely there is a practical reason for this in the world somewhere - but I have never ran into it in my experience.

One of the major selling points to this board was the ability to mute and use pre-fader listen to set my levels correctly. This might be the cheapest board out that has those features. Finally, I would have liked an option for 1/4" output on the mains. Granted it's typical to use XLR for mains on boards, I would have really liked that

Final Conclusion:
For the price, this board is outstanding! The features are really quite good, and while I do have my gripes with the board, so far all of them have been minor. The USB interface is an obvious selling point, and while I was hoping for a lot more out of it, it does do the job. The amount of features on this board is truly amazing from single knob compressors, to EQ's for each channel, and AUX/FX sends with a decent on board FX processor... I am very satisfied at this price point. Had I paid over $300 for this board though, I would have expected more and not been satisfied. This does truly make me wonder why people pay so much for USB preamps etc when you can have this entire board with way more than a simple preamp for marginally more money.

This mixer is the best low-end mixer you can get in my opinion

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

This mixer is the best low-end mixer you can get in my opinion. When the levels are at zero there is some slight bleeding, but the options included in this mixer are great for the price. If you are just starting out with advanced audio setups this is the mixer I'd suggest. The EFX processor isn't the greatest, but they're effects none the less. You can output lines separating using Send1 and Send2 (Red and Orange Knobs), however Send2 also uses the EFX, so if you're going to use them it only have one separate output from the Main. Another nice feature is being able to hear your muted lines. When you mute a line it actually switches it to ALT 3-4, so you can listen for reasons to unmute. If you have the money for a higher grade mixer from Mackie or Allen&Heath they will have much better quality and will last longer. The only reason I'd stick with this is if you're just starting out.

With mixers your either buy nice or buy twice, and this one is a great first purchase for buying twice.

Best deal for the money

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015

EDIT: I had a negative review earlier due to a perceived issue regarding gain levels. I sent a note to Behringer and I very quickly received a phone call from a very knowledgeable support technician. The issue was a misunderstanding on my part in terms of how the per channel gain works - it is a log scale increase and not linear, which gives more room on the bottom end (for things like instruments, drums, etc.) and that made a lot of sense as we walked through setting the gain for my mics (we use this for spoken word.) He also spent the time to give me some other pointers and tips that were very helpful.

When I thought I may need to return this, I was trying to find other units with the same level of functionality at a price that was in the ballpark, and that was a challenge. Using his tips, this is working extremely well for us.

Something amazing. As for a novice user, it's great equipment. Very intuitive in setting and connection. In my opinion, it offers very good sound quality. In my home studio, I use it to record podcasts and sound for my Youtube reviews. Really great quality. The effector will also allow me to record vocals in the future. I will only emphasize that the equipment allows you to make interviews live on the phone and via skype. with the possibility of listening to everything on the headphones. A huge number of inputs and outputs allows you to connect everything that is needed in my home studio. The possibility of looping the signal with a computer via USB and LineIn. The manual presents several presets for a specific use of equipment, eg a small studio. I really recommend this equipment.

Good Home Studio Mixer

Bought this to be able to connect to Cubase via USB. As a mixer it has it's limitations but the overall build quality is excellent and the faders are smooth and positive. Set up and connection was easy and although there are limited options for signal routing it is more than capable as a home studio mixer. I have been able to connect all of my audio outputs from various sources and, using midi from Cubase, can produce some good quality recordings. If you are thinking of professional results then this is not for you but as a general purpose unit for a small studio it is excellent value for money.

I've got ×02 built-in QTX 500w passive speakers and they do the job combined with the mixer, had ×02 acoustics guitars ×01 acoustics ukulele ×01 Roland Cajon ×01 Tea chest string bass set-up live gig and the sound is incredibly good just like playing in a big concert.

I can't register to get my warranty

The Behringer registration is a nightmare. I can't get to register therefore I can't get my warranty or the free software so even though this is a great piece of kit I am having to send it back.
The sound that comes out of it is fantastic, it's easy to use even for a novice all the buttons knobs and sliders feel good to use.
I am a novice with these things and it is only used at home for my bedroom studio but it does a great job.
So it is with heavy heart that I am sending it back and looking for something equally good

Pure genius at the right price

I puchased one in January but it unfortunately developed a noisy fault. It gave superb results and the connectivity is second to none. the usb interface sorts out a ton of monotoring issues. I returned to Amazon and decided to have a direct replacment as I was so impressed with it!
I am a great believer in the Behringer ethos of good price point gear. It allows many of us to stretch our budgets when it comes to studio gear. I have a 20 year old Behringer mixer that still works fine.
