"Behringer XENYX 1204USB 12-Channel Mixer Review"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If the size were a bit smaller, I'd be in heaven but not a big deal; someday I will likely use the extra capacity available. My main unrealized preference is for 24-bit USB resolution. I get around it by plugging into the output XLR a 24-bit converter instead of the resident 16-bit circuit. Results are strictly studio-grade audio- as good as it gets.
Sound
Sound quality is very good for my purposes of high quality webcasting.
Features
I wanted a unit with many channels with compressors to make the maximum audio capability easy to set and not have to supervise. Overdriving digital audio circuits is disastrous in terms of distortion- much worse than analog systems.
Ease of Use
Board layout is logical and intuitive.
Quality
This unit offers more bang-for-buck than others I could find in-class. Compressors & equalizers & phantom for four of the channels does the job!

"Nice little mixer. Works great!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This particular mixer was a "returned" item at zZounds and I bought it from them at a very nice discount because of this. The mixer is brand new. Not a scratch on it. All functions work perfectly! It's great for a DJ or small band. I'm very happy with it. By the way, the guys at zZounds are FANTASTIC! They are ALWAYS extremely helpful when I call with my questions and concerns. I trust them with every purchase I make.

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Over all it is good but the one thing that bugs me is the brightness of the power on light. I have to cover it with my finger in order to see descriptions of buttons near it. I think I am going to have to cover with something.
Sound
Product is a mixer and it does that real well
Features
Has many features I needed including the Phantom Power for my condenser mikes. Have not used it as a interface to my computer yet but I am anxious to try.
Value
Very good price for all you get
Manufacturer Support
Have not dealt with support.

"Great item if your squeezed for money, excellent for home studio use. Sound is really nice for the price range."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

I hope it will last, I will always find a use for it although I may look for something else with more options.
Sound
For it's sound and price, which sometimes may lead to trepidation in a purchase, I was astounded by the sound this unit expresses.
Features
I purchased this item for what it offered in the description, it delivered.
Ease of Use
Very simple to use, took a little tweaking when recording through an external tube amp, yet very easy to clean up.
Quality
Recognized how solid the build is on this mixer right out of the box.
Value
Most definitely, I could have purchased another more expensive however, I wanted to save a few dollars and am not disappointed in my decision.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed to contact support.
