Behringer UB1622FX Pro Eurorack 16 Input Mixer with FX
Ultra low-noise design 16-input 2/2-bus mic/line mixer with premium IMP mic preamplifiers and 24-bit multi-FX processor.
"Heard about it,,,,read about it,,,,wanted it,,,,bought it."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Another review about the FX controls were correct,,,you have to turn down the main FX level and turn up the wet mix level and increase the individual channel FX level to keep the noise down. Has some decent presets for FX but would've been better to have more control over the process. Still sounds okay.
Quality:
Smooth faders,,durable chassis,,,owned other Behringer units before.
Value:
Can't get a better product for the same money.
Desirability:
I stepped up to this unit from an MX-802A,,needed more channels,,features for recording,,,and the FX built in is nice.
Sound:
Quiet,,well thought out for the price. Looking fwd to using it for live gigs and for some simple home recording.
Support:
Never used it in the 4 years that I've owned Behringer gear/mixers.
Overall:
Behringer needs to work out the FX noise issues with the levels from the main control. Set the master FX level at 9 o'clock and the wet mix at 3 o'clock. Drive the channels at 12 o'clock. That should help.
"Great value!"

Feature:Love the 4, count'em 4 stereo channels, separate from 4 mic channels, and especially the subs. If you haven't had a mixer with 4 subs before, here's a tip, in brief: assign only things you want to record to the subs, and run the sub outputs into your recorder (i.e., sound card). Take the output of your recorder into a stereo channel assigned to Mains only - not the subs, or you'll have a feedback loop. Assign the subs to pass through to the mains, and then if you monitor the mains you'll hear the recorder and what you're recording. Run the control room outs to your monitoring system and you have a handy switch to choose which set of outputs to monitor. Also, assign those nasty efx to mains only, if you want them when you're recording but don't want to print them. This is killer flexibility for a $180 board!! Other than that, I haven't made major use of the sweepable EQ yet because I'm using it to record so I record flat and EQ the track, but I do in general love sweepable mids in live recording. I do a fair amount of theatre work so I'm thinking those may come in handy for that.
Quality:
Really, it's good for the money. I would have rated it higher except for the stinky effects.
Value:
Really a pretty nice piece, spectacularly cheap. If you don't use the built-in EFX it won't ruin your recordings.
Desirability:
I got it cause it's a good value and I needed another small mixer.
Sound:
Overall sound is good except the EFX. They're noisey (see earlier posts about setting low returns and hot sends to minimize noise) and mostly sound kind of tinny and metallic. However, they're fine in a non-critical pinch, or if you're recording and want to have some EFX in the monitor, but not on the track - I don't think I'd lay these efx to a track unless I was going for a slightly nasty sound. Other than that, the pre's are reasonably quiet and it's a remarkable value.
Support:
I have no personal experience, but I've heard it's no good. On the other hand, I have a Behringer headphone distro, compressor, feedback killer, and the little MXB 1002 (sweet little mixer that will run off batttery power), and I haven't broken any of them yet. But then I don't break much, except keyboards.
Overall:
Yup, it's a great little doodad for not too much money. I'll take care of it and it will probably last.
"What a cute little mixer you are!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:It has all the standard features a mixer should. Bang for the buck
Quality:
It looks so sexy in my studio. :)
Value:
Definately bang for the buck. The channels are warm and clear...just as an analog mixer should sound.
Desirability:
It looks like any other mixer really, but the sort of brushed metal look is very sexy.
Sound:
Great sound. Sucky FX...don't buy it for the FX (You do have an external FX processor...right...RIGHT!?!)
Support:
Don't know...haven't needed it.
Overall:
Fantastic for live work, bang for the buck..despite the FX...get one.
"Sweepable mids on a compact budget priced mixer!"
Feature:
This is the ONLY compact mixer with sweepable mids. That's where all the action is on the mic inputs for vocals. I use the channel inserts for 2 mics to go through the feedback destroyer. works great
Quality:
these are nice products. Only concern is that they don't directly sell repair parts. It's a hassle ended up having to get replacement faders from yamaha when rebuilding the mixer after 3 years abuse. The faders ended up all filled with gunk ( not behringers fault)
Value:
Just can't beat the value. just got a xenyx1002 for $89.00 new price just can't be touched.
Desirability:
Very nicely laid out and at a good size to build into a system
Sound:
Sounds Adequate, The features is the main thing at the size and cost The effects arent great, but they are only used for vocal reverb in this case and the #6 is a nice delay/reverb setting
Ease of Use:
I dont like the assign, mute, solo buttons on a mixer. I have had people on the road not knowing why their channels wont work only to find a problem there. (but thats a small complaint)
Support:
Repair parts only from "dealers" who don't carry the parts. Also when asking advice on fusing the powersupplies for the smaller behringers ( 2 died on me) the tech seemed all evasive about suggesting anything outside of the script
Overall:
Would be nice to see the same features but with 2 mics, 1 stereo input and effects. don;t need the AUX or Sub or routing swithces. Would make a perfect compact karaoke rig.

"ub 1622fx"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:4 stereo channels great use it in my recording rack
Quality:
nice deatail colored knobs and great knobs feels solid
Value:
best mixer for the money
Sound:
the sound is great and easy to use...effects are great but perfer outboard effects
Ease of Use:
i like the cancel light for each channel can hit the button and leave my levels set
"Hook this to your computer and go!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:The built in effects truly serve their purpose. The different outputs and the abundance of stereo inputs show that this mixer was designed with computer recording in mind.
Quality:
Smart design and layout, confident feeling faders, speaks of quality
Sound:
this mixer says pro on it, and I think you really need to u nderstand how to set the gain levels at each stage and realize that the effects are not to be recorded if you are using the mixer for that purpose. You can make this mixer sound awful if you don't pay attention to matching levels.
Overall:
Just simply works for my application. If I sat down with Uli Behringer and had him design a perfect piece of equipment to my specifications it would be this mixer. A little particular about the mic and the gain settings, but that is a sign of its sensitivity and accuracy and not a drawback.
"Buy it for the Ins and Outs and avoid the FX"
Feature:
Lots of ins and outs. the EQ is nice. I'm using it in a pretty complicated recording/performance setup and it does everything I need it to. the FX are laughable and completely worthless but I bought the unit intending not to use them so they don't really affect my attitude toward the mixer. I just wish Behringer made a 16 input mixer without the damn FX unit.
Quality:
It looks like a mixer should. It's a nice size for the number of channels. I bought a used model and it works like a charm so I'm expecting this thing to last.
Value:
A good deal. go for B-stock or Used for the best deal.
Sound:
This model is surprisingly clean (except for the FX channel which is noisey as all get out). The FX sound like crap though and I never plan on actually using them so it doesn't matter for me. I got this model because of all the channels, not the FX unit. Just turn off the FX send and the noise levels are well within reason. The mic preamps are just as nice as the preamp on my M-audio Ozone so I can't complain. and by using a handful of really bad mics I've been able to mic a drum kit and make remarkably clean recordings.
Overall:
I'm satisfied. My only beef is the useless FX unit. why put it in there if it's so worthless and just makes noise?

"Good Overall Mixer"
"Lots of functions, but not a lot of uses."
Feature:
The features on this unit is impressive for the price that I paid for, unfortunately, they are almost useless. If you plan to buy this for its FX, don't. None the the FX settings has any decent sound quality for vocal. Either it has too much of the effect or too little, and you really can't modify the settings. By the way, you should turn down the main FX control and increase the individual control on each channel to decrease the noise. I find the sub mix to be especially useful for recording to my computer, but it went bad (it barely output anything) after about two months. The solo button is useful. The RCA (tape I/O) jacks are good, but they only work in one direction at a time. As soon as you route the tape input to the main mix, it disables the tape output.
Quality:
The box looks pretty solid with the aluminum casing, however, my submix fader (it might be the internal circuitry) went bad within about two months.
Value:
For the price and the features, I would give it a 9 simply because it gives you a lot for the money. However, the features are good for doing some karaoke stuffs. If you plan to use this for live gigs, or home recording, please steer clear of this. I tried all the different settings and could not get any decent sound.
Desirability:
I needed a mixer to do some mixing to my computer and found this one to have all the functions I needed for a good price. I now need to spend some more money to get a different one to do what I initially set out to do, and hook this one to my stereo system for my little daughter to sing karaoke.
Sound:
The sound quality is ok, but not as good as I expected, since I see some good rating on the internet. The biggest problem is noise, especially when the FX is turned on.
Support:
I haven't tried it yet. I might not even bother with sending it in and get another refurbished one.
Overall:
It been about two months, and I am looking for its replacement. Absolutely, not a Behringer.
