Klark Teknik FX on All QX Models

Nothing adds the finishing touch to a live or recorded performance like really good effects, so they equipped a select group of these mixers with one of the best FX engines in the industry. Designed by the world-renowned Klark Teknik engineering team, these high-end FX processors feature 32 studio-grade presets with dual addressable parameters, Tap function and storable user parameter settings. Complete with its own dedicated level meter, these effects provide a wide range of enhancement options, from sweet and mild to absolutely wild!

What's a Compressor?

Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of read more external processing gear is and the response will be virtually unanimous - dynamic compression. What's compression? Glad you asked. Compression 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 difficulty mastering. The "one-knob" compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. Now you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. The "one-knob" compressors come standard on each and every Xenyx Q Series USB mixer.

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 preamps are a tremendous step in the evolution of audio technology- and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to expensive, boutique-style 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. As a result, Xenyx mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance that you just might think someone upgraded your microphones while you weren't looking.

Sweet British EQ

The British consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock and roll. Without them, the British Invasion might not have even happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on the 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.

Recording Ready

There was a time when the recording process called for lots of specialized gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio-and that time was expensive! But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. But how do you get all that music flying around your brain into a computer? That's where XENYX Q Series mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source connected to the mixer can be recorded straight to your hard drive.

"Good Mixer"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is a good mixer and it does what it's suppose to do. The effects are outstanding and there's plenty to choose from. The ease in using it isn't bad especially if you've had some mixer experience and the channels compressor is a good addition. However, I have to tell you that the electrical plug is something from the 70's, or 80's. There's a small round 3-prong plug that goes into the unit and if you're not careful you could easily bend or break one of the prongs (BE CAREFUL!) and since there's no on/off switch (???) you always have to plug in or unplug the mixer in order to turn it on and off. The trouble I'm having is that if I barely move the mixer while plugged in it loses its connection for a second or two - very frustrating when you're using it with your computer to record plus it makes a loud popping sound whenever that happens. Why couldn't they just use a standard method of attaching the cord to the unit or add an off/on switch? It would surely be an improvement. Other than that I think I like the mixer, but I'd look at other brands if I were to buy another one just because of the obnoxious plug and off/on situation.
