Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
\nThe XENYX Q1202USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have been praised by audio engineers all over the world. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology \u2013 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, the XENYX Q1202USB provides such transparent, crystal- clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren\u2019t looking.<\/p>\n
One-Knob Compression
\nAsk professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous \u2013 dynamic compression. What is compression? We\u2019re 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 find challenging. Our \u201cone-knob\u201d 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 \u2013 but standard on the XENYX Q1202USB mixer.<\/p>\n
Sublimely Musical British EQ
\nThe British consoles of the 1960s and \u201870s changed the sound of rock and roll \u2013 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 Q1202USB 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.<\/p>\n
Recording Bliss
\nThere 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 \u2013 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\u2019s where the XENYX Q1202USB comes 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…<\/p>\n
