Overview:
With millions of loyal and happy customers, BEHRINGER XENYX
mixers stand alone at the top of their class. Armed with premium microphone
preamps and robust feature sets typically reserved for more expensive consoles,
next-generation XENYX Q Series USB mixers can handle your live gigs and provide
the state-of-the-art tools to make stunning, professional-quality recordings.
Select models feature dedicated, ”wireless-ready” integration for our new ULM
Series USB microphones, making them the first of their kind in the industry.
Along with their built-in USB/audio interfaces, “one-knob” mono channel
compressors and KLARK TEKNIK FX engines (available on select models), XENYX Q
Series USB mixers come with all the recording and editing software you’ll need
to turn your computer into a complete, high-performance recording studio.
KLARK TEKNIK FX on All QX Models
- Nothing adds the finishing touch to a live or recorded
performance like really good effects, so we equipped a select group of these
mixers with one of the best FX engines in the industry. Designed by the
world-renowned KLARK TEKNIK engineering team, these high-end FX processors
feature 32 studio-grade presets with dual addressable parameters, Tap function
and storable user parameter settings. Complete with its own dedicated level
meter, these effects provide a wide range of enhancement options, from sweet
and mild to absolutely wild!
Wireless Ready Performance
- QX1204USB – QX2442USB mixers are “wireless-ready” right out
of the box. Our new ULTRALINK ULM200USB (sold separately) features two
high-quality 2.4 GHz wireless mics, plus a special 2-channel receiver dongle
that connects directly to a dedicated input port on the top of the mixers. This
technologic breakthrough makes for seamless wireless integration that is easier
and more affordable than ever.
What's a Compressor?
- Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece
of external processing gear is and the response will be virtually unanimous –
dynamic compression. What's compression? Glad you asked. Compression 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 have difficulty
mastering. Our “one-knob” compression is available on all mono channels and is
easy to operate, even for entry-level users. Now you can easily dial in the perfect
amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with
punch and clarity. Our “one-knob” compressors come standard on each and every
XENYX Q Series USB mixer.
Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
- All XENYX mixers have one thing in common; great-sounding,
high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic preamps are a
tremendous step in the evolution of audio technology— and they can easily hold
their own, even when compared to expensive, boutique-style 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. As a result, XENYX mixers
provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance that you just might think
someone upgraded your microphones while you weren’t looking.
Sweet 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 even
happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and
producers all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers 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 Ready
- There was a time when the recording process called for lots
of specialized gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a
recording studio—and that time was expensive! But modern technology has put
personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a
computer. But how do you get all that music flying around your brain into a
computer? That’s where XENYX Q Series mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in,
bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect directly to your PC
or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source connected to the
mixer can be recorded straight to your hard drive. Which brings us to software…
How About Some Free Software!
- Because you’ll want to take full advantage of your XENYX QX
Series mixers’ recording and podcasting potential, we’ve put together a massive
software download at www.behringer. com that includes Audacity (the most
popular open source audio editor), Podifier, Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear (a
great selection of podcasting software). You’re ready to go live on your PC or
Mac right out of the box! You also get more than 100 virtual instruments and 50
FX plug-ins, turning your computer into a complete home-based or mobile
recording studio.
XENYX QX2442USB
- The flagship of the XENYX QX USB Series is the QX2442USB
with 10 state-of-the-art, XENYX-powered mic inputs, 4 stereo channels, 4 Aux
Sends, 4 stereo Aux Returns, plus our easy to use “one knob” compressors on all
mono channels. Other features exclusive to the QX2442USB are: four subgroups
for mixing flexibility; L/R Main Inserts (the ideal path for connecting graphic
equalizers or compressor/limiters); and 8 each Direct Outs and Sub Outs for
analog recording purposes. Enjoy the freedom of wireless mic functionality,
thanks to the built-in ULM receiver port. No task is too big or too small for
the XENYX QX2442USB!

TRACKTION doesn’t limit the number of tracks you can record, or the number of
effects you can use. In fact, the only limitation is your Mac or PC computer’s
processing power. Recording and editing couldn’t be easier; simply drag, drop,
cut, copy or paste. Once your magnum opus is finished, share it with other
