Make the leap to a digital mixer. The UFX1604 has 8 mic pres, onboard compressors, two FX processors -- and even sends 16 tracks to your DAW over FireWire.

Boasting a stellar feature set that includes Behringer's premium-grade XENYX mic preamps, "one-knob" compressors, British EQs and 24-bit onboard FX, the BEHRINGER UFX1604 is one of the best-sounding compact mixers you've ever heard. But the UFX1604 is light-years beyond your average mixer, thanks to its built-in 16 x 4 USB/FireWire Interface and 16-Track USB-Recorder. Imagine being able to record your next live gig directly to a USB stick or even straight to your PC/Mac computer-and the UFX1604's transport section can function as a remote control center for your computer-based DAW via MIDI.

Extreme versatility

From input to output, the UFX1604 is all about functionality, ease of use and ultimate versatility. Mono channels feature our legendary XENYX mic preamps, praised the world over by professional audio engineers for their sonic clarity and high-headroom performance. Channels 1 - 8 read more accept both balanced XLR and 1/4 inch TRS, as well as unbalanced 1/4 inch TS connections. A Line/Hi-Z switch is provided on channels 1 & 2 so you can connect acoustic, electric and bass guitars without the need for an external DI box. Mono channel EQ is our highly musical "British" 4-band with individually sweepable Hi and Low Mids, complete with bypass switch per channel. True +48 V phantom power is available (and individually switchable) for all mono channel strips-a feature virtually unheard of on a mixer in this class!

Stereo channels support balanced and unbalanced 1/4 inch Line connections and our 4-band "British" EQs are provided for tonal adjustment. All channels feature four Aux Sends, switchable Pre/Post FireWire Sends, Mute/Alt 3-4 functionality and super- smooth, long-wearing 100 mm logarithmic-taper faders.

FX and functionality

Behringer also gave the UFX1604 not one, but two high-end stereo FX processors with 16 editable presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, phaser, multi-effects and Tap function.

Add to this an extensive Talkback section with onboard Mic; mono channel Inserts; four stereo Aux Returns; a plethora of output options; plus free software downloads and more-and you've got the incredible XENYX UFX1604!

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
ZZounds hit the nail on the head with this one... my band has seamlessly switched to digital recording thanks to the UFX1604. Has already linked up with two of my different recording softwares without too much effort. This is the second Behringer mixer I have owned and I can vouch for the quality of sound and longevity of the products. Save yourself some money and confidently buy this product you won't be disappointed. only one complaint...The sliders don't have enough resistance for my taste but it is a very minor issue because the sound is amazing.
