professional-quality recordings. Along with its built-in USB/audio interface,
the Q1202USB mixer comes with all the recording and editing software needed to
turn your computer system into your own personal high-performance home
recording studio.
Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
- The XENYX Q1202USB gets its name from our legendary, high
headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over
the world. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the
evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when
compared to the most expensive stand-alone 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. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, the XENYX
Q1202USB provides such transparent, crystal- clear performance you just might
think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.
One-Knob Compression
- Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite
piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be
virtually unanimous – dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re glad you
asked. Compression essentially 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 find challenging. Our “one-knob” compression is available
on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With
this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for
instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is
indeed a rare feature for products in this class – but standard on the XENYX
Q1202USB mixer.
Sublimely Musical 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
happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and
producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX Q1202USB 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 Bliss
- There was a time when the recording process called for
lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy
time at a recording studio – and that time was pricey indeed. But modern
technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone
with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your
brain into your computer? That’s where the XENYX Q1202USB comes in. Thanks to
the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of
these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now
any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your
hard drive. Which brings us to software...
