Musical EQ and Compression

Each of the XENYX QX2442USB's channels is equipped with premium-quality British-style EQ for warm, musical tone shaping. The 3-band EQs give you precise control over the lows, mids and highs. Optical compressors on every channel provide transparent dynamic control to smooth out peaks and add sustain. You can sculpt sounds subtly or dramatically to achieve the exact tone you want before sending it to the main mix or recording outputs.

    I moved up to this 4-bus version from the 2-bus variant because I wanted more routing flexibility and more preamp channels. I've been happy with that decision going on 5 years. I use this primarily as the live mixer in my studio/rehearsal space, sending bass, guitar, piano, v-drums, and vocals through it and into a QSC PA system and a Logic-based recording rig via Scarlett 18i20 Gen3. With 8 direct out and 4 stereo busses, this board allows me to mix in the room and send whatever I want to the interface from that live mix. Performance-wise it's quiet, has all the EQ and FX you'd expect from something of this size and complexity, and everything operates with a satisfying heft. Behringer can be hit or miss with QC, but this one was well assembled. I added-on the ULM202USB Ultralink 2-Person Digital Wireless System with low expectations, but have been pleasantly surprised at how well they work and good they sound. You plug one USB receiver into the top of Channel 1 and both Channel 1 and 2 become wireless mic channels for the two included mics. For practices and live scratch tracking, they're perfectly capable mics that have never dropped out, sound very good, and easily have a range of at least the 46 feet in my practice area. It's a nice optional feature that I've found useful. Overall, I'm very happy with this mixer.

  • Just what i wanted. Love the direct outs for my DAW

    Use it for my home recording which is great. Direct outs go right into my DAW which is what sold me on this. I have had Behringer products before and they have always worked well for me. Thanks Guitar Center for the great price and fast shipping. Look forward to getting back into your store once Covid-19 is gone.
