SonicallySuperior Mic Preamps
AllBehringer XENYX mixing consoles have one thing incommon—great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. Thesestate-of-the-art mic preamps represent a major step in the evolution ofaudio technology—and they can easily hold their own, even when comparedto the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. Behringer XENYX preampsoffer a staggering 130dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth thatextends from below 10Hz to well above 200kHz. Armed with theseoutstanding mic preamps, Behringer XENYX USB mixers provide suchtransparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someoneupgraded your mics while you weren't looking.

SublimelyMusical British EQ
TheBritish mixing consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rockand roll—without them the British Invasion might not have happened.Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers andproducers all over the world. The channel EQ on the Behringer XENYXmixer is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbuesignals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Evenwhen applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness andsuperb audio quality.

One-KnobCompression
Askprofessional sound engineers what their favorite piece of externalprocessing gear is and the majority response will be virtuallyunanimous—dynamic compression. What is compression? Compressionessentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level ofloud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. Butapplying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and evenintermediate, sound techs have great difficulty mastering. Behringer's"one-knob" compression is available on all mono channels and is easy tooperate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easilydial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals,creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rarefeature for affordable USB mixers in this class—but standard on allBehringer XENYX USB mixers.
