The XENYX 1204FX has 12 inputs and 2 Aux Sends for each channel. Additionally, 2 multi-functional stereo Aux Returns have been incorporated for routing flexibility. The new XENYX Mic Preamp matches the sound quality, transparency, headroom and even the dynamic range of boutique-style, stand-alone mic preamps. Neo-classic "British" EQ brings back the warmth and musicality of those '60s and '70s mega-console desks that made music history.

"Look no further, this is the one!"

Feature:
Comes with a rack kit if you still have a rack. My only complaint is the XLR main outputs. A simple 1/4" would be nice, but I can live with it.

Quality:
A little bit bigger would have been nice overall, but no big deal. Overall it is solid and sturdy.

Value:
Can't be beat. Shame on other companies for selling similar mixers for more than twice the price. Behringer deserves a round of applause for making such affordable quality products.

Desirability:
It is now my main mixer. I like the led placements and the colour of the unit.

Sound:
I was skeptical about this mixer because of its price, but glad I took the chance. I'm not sure what other reviewers are doing with their systems, but I have found absolutely no noise with this mixer whatsoever, and the effects are fantastic for what is included. I also purchased a Behringer C-100 condenser mike, and it performs well...especially for $65!!! I defy anyone to find an audible difference between the 1204FX Pro, and any other comparable board. Yes, even Mackie and Alesis.

Support:
All of my answers were addressed in the manual. Apparenty the support is decent.

Overall:
I see no reason to buy another mixer, unless I aquire more outboard gear at some point. The cool part about these mixers is that you can buy another one and chain them together.

"Cheap alternative to a soundcard upgrade"

Feature:
I use the effects to monitor when I'm recording vocals, guitar etc but send a dry signal to the PC. Gives me zero latency on a cheap soundcard!

Quality:
Nothing's dropped off yet, it feels well built.

Value:
Nothing comes even close for this price.

Desirability:
Looks pro (& somewhat oddly only has a tiny Behringer logo.) Should please the brand junkies out there.

Sound:
Sounds fine to me but I only use it for monitoring whilst I'm recording. Guitar Fx are fine with active pickups but a bit grainy with passives.

Description
Docs
Essentially an expanded version of the UB1204-PRO. It has all the same features as found in the UB1204-PRO, plus an integrated 24-bit digital stereo FX processor with 99 great-sounding VIRTUALIZER presets. There are also solo and PFL functions on all channels as well as a pre/post fader switchable aux send for monitoring/FX applications.

Every crucial development stage of the new UB Series has Behringer's name on it literally: from the design study to the circuitry layout to the mechanical makeup of the consoles. He has personally selected each and every individual component, all with the goal of squeezing the very most out of every single one of them. These consoles have been pushed as far as the technology permits to-date.

Features:

Ultra low-noise ULN design, highest possible headroom, ultra-transparent audio

4 new state-of-the-art, studio-grade IMP Invisible Mic Preamps with:
- 130 dB dynamic range for 24-bit, 192 kHz sampling rate inputs
- Ultra-wide 60 dB gain range
- Lowest possible distortion 0.0007% (20 Hz - 20 kHz)

Integrated 24-bit digital stereo FX processor with 99 great-sounding VIRTUALIZER presets including reverb, delay, chorus, compressor, tube distortion, vinylizer and more plus 1 kHz test tone generator

Effective, extremely musical 3-band EQ plus switchable low-cut filter on all mono channels

8 balanced high-headroom line inputs with +4/-10 level selection on stereo channels

State-of-the-art 4580 operational amplifiers provide lowest noise and distortion�better than 4560 op amps

2 aux sends per channel: 1 pre/post fader switchable for monitoring/FX applications, 1 post fader (for internal FX or as external send)

Peak LEDs, mute/alt 3-4, solo and PFL functions on all channels

2 subgroups with separate outputs for added routing flexibility

2 multi-functional stereo aux returns with flexible routing

Balanced main mix outputs with gold-plated XLR connectors plus separate control room, headphones and stereo tape outputs

Control room/phones outputs with multi-input source matrix

Tape inputs assignable to main mix or control room/phones outputs

Switchable +48 V phantom power for condenser microphones

Long-wearing 60 mm logarithmic-taper ALPS� faders and sealed rotary controls

Internal switch-mode power supply for maximum flexibility (100 - 240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient response plus lowest possible power consumption for energy saving

Extremely rugged steel construction ensures long life even under the most demanding conditions

Rack mount brackets included

Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system

Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP)
Five years in the making, the Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP) is a superior mic preamp that delivers crystal-clear audio with incredible reproduction of the slightest nuances. It matches or exceeds the performance of outboard mic preamps. You get extreme bandwidth of 5 Hz to 100 kHz coupled to unusually neutral, noise- and distortion-free circuitry. The Behringer IMP provides ultra-linear frequency response up to 100 kHz. The result of perfect design. Almost unmeasurable distortion for your signal integrity.

24-bit/ 46 kHz
Digital recordings are often done at a depth of 16 bits, which breaks up the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest portions of a signal into 65,536 steps. They use the finer resolution of 24 bits, which divides the signals' loudest-to-softest dynamic range into 16,777,216 steps, allowing for far more accurate rendering of the quieter parts of the audio.

Audio signals change constantly, so a digital device must capture these changes as faithfully as possible. The higher the sampling rate, the better. The consoles use a sampling rate of 46,000 times per second. To capture any given frequency, a digital signal's sampling rate must be roughly twice that frequency. The sampling rate of 46 kHz is more than adequate for capturing all signals in the audible range the human ear can not hear the sounds whose frequency is higher than 20 kHz.

Ultra Low-Noise (ULN)
ULN stands for the Ultra low-noise design of our circuitry. It is based on extremely low-impedance components that keep thermal inherent noise and crosstalk at an absolute minimum. The result: your console is considerably less noisy and crosstalk between neighboring channels is virtually non-existent. The result of perfect design. Almost unmeasurable distortion for your signal integrity.

Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
Every console in the PRO series uses a state-of-the-art, over-sized, switch-mode power supply with lots of headroom. One of the great advantages is that (compared to conventional circuits) a switch-mode power supply adapts to mains voltages between 100 and 240 volts automatically. Furthermore, due to its much greater efficiency, it consumes much less energy than a conventional supply unit. Even more important is the fact that conventional transformers always induce 50 Hz hum (check it out on other mixers when you turn up all volume controls). Their switch-mode supply operates at very high frequency and therefore keeps the mixer "dead" quiet.

XPQ 3D Surround
The XPQ 3D surround effect available in the UB1832FX-PRO widens the stereo image and adds life and transparency to your sound�an easy way to put a unique final polish on your music and turn your performance into an incomparable experience.
