BehringerXenyx X2222USB Mixer with USB and Effects

I bought this mixer to replace a Mackie Mix12Fx that left me hangin' after the third (3) time it was taken out of the box, and let me tell you, I should have bought THIS ONE FIRST..! Then I wouldn't have wasted my money on that other junk.. This mixer has EVERYTHING you would want in a pro quality mixer..! It has Pan Left/ Right, Three (3) Band E/Q. on each channel, full controll of digital effects, high and low Z inputs, you can run your mics, guitar[s], your Key Board, ALL OF IT, right from this mixer.! Use the USB connection and record direct to your Lap Top, and be editing a live show recording on the way HOME..! My Father would say it's the best thing since sliced bread, I say it's just plain GREAT...!

I love it. it came in great shape and very fast which is remarkable considering the pandemic going on. very satisfied. and just cause its Behringer doesn't mean its crap. yea I get it, not everything is gold but their mixers are pretty alright. I've never had a problem. its has built in effects which is a plus with a lot of people but for people like me there's inserts on every XLR channel plus the normal effects loop stuff. oh and it has a lot of options to do with everything. u could even take the insert pre or post and a bunch of other cool options. they has slightly smaller models than this and if this price is too high there's cheaper versions with less cool things but even the smaller models has inserts for at least 4 XLR inputs. must get or at least consider. its not a Mackie but that'll be one day. im happy with this for now.

I needed a mixer for USB recording for my home studio. In the past, I have purchased a lot of Behringer mixers from 2 inputs to 24 inputs for live and studio. This USB feature is perfect for home studio recordings.I have also purchase precious which was more costly, but this mixer does that as good for my needs at a great price.The only thing I wish it had more than just two recordings at once. But for the price, it is okay.I plan to order an interface from Behringer with 18 inputs and 20 outputs and run the playback through this mixer.

The media could not be loaded. I Purchased the older version of this mixer 2 years ago (Behringer Xenyx QX1832USB) for my home studio. After just two years of light use, it suddenly stopped working. The lights pulsate, it makes a clicking sound, and the mixer is completely unstable. So I contacted Behringer about their advertised 3 year warranty.... To my surprise, I learned that the 3-year warranty is only valid if the product is registered within [90 days] of purchase. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this requirement and didn’t register the mixer in time. When I contacted support, they were polite but firm, stating that their policy is strictly enforced and they couldn’t assist me further. I understand the need for policies, but a [90-day registration window] for a [3-year warranty] feels overly restrictive, and done so people never register and never get the 3 year warranty.It doesn't seem right that a well-known company wouldn't expect their units to last longer. It's a shame they trick you with a 90-day registration period to qualify for a three-year warranty. This is advertised on the box and website, but the 90-day requirement is buried in small print somewhere down the page. I thought I was purchasing a quality product. I guess not, if they have to be so shady about it. I have a similar Yamaha and Mackie mixer that I travel with and have had for more than 10 years. No issues. I bought two of these Behringer mixers, one for me and another for a client. I thought they were solid after a year of light use. I guess not.My Advice.... Just buy a from a well proven brand like Yamaha or Mackie. I know its more pricey, buy they will last a lifetime! They will take a beating and keep on ticking! Just google "Behringer Mixer issue" and see for yourself.

Very good console, excellent sound, lots of functions that can be instantly learned and used. I use this board to play live with my band, it works really well, very reliable. The only point that made me a little frustrated is that, although there are 8 direct output lines, you cannot record 8 independent channels, this console has a direct USB type output that allows you to record everything connected to it only in either mono or stereo, that is, even though you have, let's say, 4 instruments and 4 microphones connected, you won't be able to record them in 8 channels, the output will always be either one or two channels.Other than this "minor" issue, all other features are great. But Behringer could have allowed the output in 8 channels...

A lot of reviews of this mixer lament the fact that the USB output is only two-track stereo. I consider this a feature, not a bug. Online video conference software like Zoom only allow for 2-track inputs. When using Zoom for music performance with more than two tracks you WANT the output to be only stereo, otherwise you'd have to pre-mix the the sound anyway. There are plenty of options for multi-track recording -- I have Behringer's UMC1820 and an Ultragain for 16-track recording, but when doing online performances I always had to mix the 4 or 5 tracks before the A/D interface and output only two. Now I can easily run 8 XLR channels at the same time into Zoom with just this one mixer.

We purchased this for our son. He plays a variety of instruments and had wanted a good mixer. After doing some reading, we decided this one would do the trick. Our son has been very pleased with it.Sound quality is very good. The board seems well-made and sturdy. There are plenty of inputs, which is something that was very important to him.In terms of negatives, the biggest thing is there really isn't much of an instruction manual, so getting familiar with it takes a bit of effort. Fortunately, everything is pretty well labeled and our son has worked with the audio production team for plays and musical performances, so he was able to figure it out.
