BEHRINGER XENYX 1202SFX Analog Mixer

Mix the room by hand, then send it to the stream.

Two voices, a guitar and music from the computer, all going out live. The 1202SFX gives every source its own knobs, so you balance the session by ear. Its USB streaming interface links it to your computer, stereo in and out.

Computer audio has a channel of its own

USB audio arrives on the last pair of stereo channels. Plug a jack into that channel and it switches to the jack instead. STREAM TO MIX sends USB and STREAM IN audio to the main mix. STREAM TO MONITOR sends it to your headphones and monitor outputs.

Mic channels ready for condensers

Plug microphones into the XLR inputs of the mono channels. One PHANTOM button sends +48 V to all of them for condensers. Shape each one with a 3-band EQ and a steep low cut filter. Sing or play, and raise the gain until the loudest peaks flash the CLIP LED. Then back off slightly.

Effects without another box

Turn a channel's FX knob to feed the built-in Klark Teknik effects. The PROGRAM control selects the preset, and FX TO MAIN blends the effect into the mix. The mixer weighs 1.5 kg and runs from its included power adapter, not from USB.
