As a live sound or recording studio mixer and a feature-packed computer audio interface, the Behringer XENYX/USB series mixers combine profound sound sculpting potential, flexible routing, onboard FXs, and more—all in one compact and high-value package. Loaded with 16 inputs spanning 12 channels (4 mono and 4 stereo) and a 2x2 bus mixer, the Xenyx 1602USB is an excellent size for small bands, combos, vocal acts, and more.

Channels 1-4 are loaded with studio-quality XENYX mic preamps XLR (and ¼” inputs) with optional phantom power, which brings out the clarity, warmth, and subtlety of your studio condenser or dynamic mics. In addition to the already clear and intimate response, the simple-to-operate 1-knob compressor effortlessly adds a smooth and polished touch to your vocals. The 4 stereo channels with dual ¼ TRS inputs (5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12) can be used for up to 4 stereo instruments, such as keyboards or sound modules, or 4 independent mono inputs-- like guitars, bass, drums, or other line-level sources. Each channel benefits from Behringer’s UK-voiced 3-band EQ, with a sweepable midrange control for a custom-tailored response, plus a 60mm slide fader for easy and accurate level adjustments. Topping off the professional sound sculpting features, the X1622USB is equipped with a studio-grade 24-bit Kark Teknik effects engine, with 16 editable presets for Reverb, Delay, and more.

In addition to its great live sound potential, the X1622USB is packed with connectivity options and flexible signal routing. For studio (or live) recording, use the stereo USB output to connect your desktop or laptop using virtually any recording software (including free Tracktion software from Behringer.com). Plus, you can add backing tracks to your performance by routing computer playback to the main outputs with the live mix.
