The
X1222USB is a step up from the X1204USB with six mono mic inputs. These
two additional channels can also be used for stereo line-level devices,
such as keyboards or sound modules. The X1222USB also comes equipped
with channel Inserts for inputs 1-4, a stereo 7-band graphic EQ, which
can be assigned to the main or monitor buses, and our proprietary FBQ
Feedback Detection System. Other features include full-sized faders for
MON and FX SENDs, our XPQ 3D stereo surround effect (creates a broader,
enhanced stereo image), and a handy Voice Canceller function for
removing vocals from pre-recorded tapes and CDs for “instant-karaoke”
applications.
XENYX USB Series mixers are designed to handle your
live gigs, and they provide the state-of-the-art tools you need to make
stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in
USB/audio interfaces, XENYX USB mixers come with all the recording and
editing software you’ll need to turn your computer system into a
complete, high-performance home recording studio.
Sonically Superior Mic PreampsAll
XENYX mixers have one thing in common—great-sounding, high headroom
XENYX mic preamps. 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, XENYX mixers provide such
transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone
upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQThe
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 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.
One-Knob CompressionAsk
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 have great difficulty
mastering. 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 all
XENYX USB mixers.
Effective FXAll
XENYX USB Series mixers (except the 1204USB) feature our new 24-bit
dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets
including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and
multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these
effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control.
Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button
in tempo with the music.
Recording BlissThere
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 XENYX USB mixers come 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…
Free Would Be Nice!Because
you’ll want to take full advantage of the XENYX USB Series mixers’
recording and podcasting potential, we’ve thrown in a massive software
package 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 computer
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 from input to output.
