"Awesome mixer/audio interface! Great bang for the buck!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm really happy with this mixer and won't be needing to upgrade anytime soon. Like I said before, I wish the reverb was better but that could totally be just me not knowing how to use it to it's full potential yet.
Sound
This mixer works very well. I wish the reverb was a little better but maybe I haven't played around with it enough.
Features
I'm really happy with the amount of features this thing has. It's got compression and a low cut on each of the mic inputs, a good amount of effects, and a 9 band eq. It has more features but those are the main things I use and can remember at the top of my head right now. And not only is it a full fledged, versatile mixer, it also works as an audio interface! So that's two for one! You can use it for live performances and also at home for recording. Or even recording at live performances! I've looked around a lot and did a lot of research and couldn't find such a feature loaded mixer for the same price as this one. I use this mixer with a shure pg81 mic and behringer b212d speaker to amplify my flamenco guitar. I need something with more control that's why the 9 band eq is so useful. Plus every room and situation is different so that makes the 9 band eq even more useful. A typical 3 band eq just doesn't cut it. If you play something with a lot of dynamics, the compression can really help to set the right volume level. The reverb sounds a bit funny to me. I need more time to get used to working it. In some rooms, it sounds great, in other rooms, not so great. I'm sure this is just me needing to work with it more. I've heard other reverbs from other mixers and they weren't that great sounding either.
Ease of Use
It's pretty simple to use if you've worked with mixers before. The layout is simple and straightforward. You might need to do some reading if you've never worked with a mixer before to really get all the use out of this thing, but that goes for any mixer.
Quality
I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I've had it for about a month now and have been gigging at least once a week with it. Let's see how it works out in the long run.
Value
I think I got a LOT for the price of this mixer. Well worth the money.
The Wow Factor
It looks pretty good to me. Everyone always looks impressed when I take it out to set it up. I guess all the led lights make it look pretty high tech and cool or something.

"Behringer XENYX X1832 USB Mixer"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Have had this mixer one week. This is an incredible device. Tons of headroom, crystal clear sound from my piano (Casio PX-560) and great vocals (Shure SM-58 Beta). The effects are very good (you can adjust parameters). EQ (9 band) is great, and the controls feel good- no slop. Compression, works very well, and the feedback finder s a great aspect. In actuality this is a 10 channel mixer (6 XLR/ 1/4 inputs) and 4 stereo) But for me this is no problem. The mains are XLR and I wish the monitor out was as well (I use QSC powered). For $249.00 this is an incredible mixer. Time will tell how it holds up. But, I have nothing but praise for this device!
Sound
I love the subtle sound changes, that I can elicit from the keyboard and hear with this mixer. My vocals reflect all the modulations I am capable of voicing! If you can sing, this board really does the job. You can modify the effects (reverb etc) and you can fine tune where and how much is employed- GREAT!
Features
Nine band EQ- FINE! Feedback finder combined with the 9 band EQ reduces the wide swath cutting that occurs with fewer bands!
Ease of Use
Learning curve is short- very short. Instructions are basically 43 pages of basic information in 6 Languages- ugh! You can download the full Behringer manual and you are set to go! I repeat, my Casio PX-560 sounds awesome, crystal clear and all subtle changes are heard in this mixer/ ditto vocals!
Quality
It appears well made. I take great care of my equipment, so I expect it will do very well. Time will tell.
Value
Best value to cost mixer on the market. I have been in and out of music since 1964!
Manufacturer Support
No contact
The Wow Factor
I could make good music without it! But- I make BETTER music with it!!

Musical Background:

"Nice mixer, as long as you don't need the USB to work for recording."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If I can't get the USB to work on recording, I'll have to buy another USB recording device, and would likely choose something that comes with ProTools SW.
Sound
If you don't care about using the USB port for recording, this is a great mixer for the price. However, I am not probably 48+ hours invested in trying to use it for recording. Have tried their EnergyX SW that came with it, and two other recording SW packages I've used successfully with MAudio products, and I still cannot record. Playback was a cinch. But I've downloaded and installed the Behringer ASIO drivers, the ASIO4ALL drivers, and nothing is working. So I'm wondering if I have a bad USB port in this brand new mixer, or what? And I'm a 25 yr veteran with the largest IT company in the world, I know a little bit about computers. :-)
Features
Can't get the USB to work with recording, playback is fine.
Ease of Use
Mixing and live sound if fine. Works as it should. Manual could be a lot better in describing how to adjust the FX parameters. Would have been nice if Behringer would have offered a software interface via the USB for adjustment and storing of the FX patches/parameters.
Quality
Quality of the mixer main controls and chassis seems to be fine, probably better than most at this price point
Value
I'm disappointed I still can't get the USB to work with recording, and trying to make up my mind whether I was to return it or not.
Manufacturer Support
Not easy to get answers from Behringer. They force you to search their FAQ on their website.
The Wow Factor
It looked good, had all the right functions in a compact mixer.

"Surprising Little Mixer"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I would buy another if it was stolen.
Sound
I bought this mixer for live use in my band space and for small gigs so that I don't have to carry my big mixer and effects rack. I love how it sounds.
Features
The effects and built in compressor are both great features.
Ease of Use
Very intuitive. I played with it for about 30 minutes the day I got it, and had figured out everything that I needed to.
Quality
I've only had it a short while, but it seems sturdy enough.
Value
For the price, this is about the best thing out there. It also came with some recording software, but I use Pro Tools, so I haven't put it on my computer.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had a problem.
The Wow Factor
It is much smaller than my other mixer, and it has way more features, though the inputs are somewhat limiting. If I have a big room gig, I will have to carry my full set up to mic all instruments, but for rooms where vocals are all that need to be amplified, this baby is perfect.
