The Behringer XENYX 1202 is a mixer that offers clear and natural sound in a small and portable format. With twelve inputs, four high-quality XENYX mic preamps, and a 60mm logarithmic-taper master fader, this versatile mixer is ideal for a wide variety of mixing and recording applications, from small-stage gigs to home-studios, mid-size corporate events, and more.
The XENYX 1202 is quick to set up and operate with all connections and controls easily reachable on the top of the unit. The first four input channels feature XENYX mic preamps on four XLR connectors, as well as four 1/4" inputs for line-level signals. Switchable, onboard 48V phantom power allows you to plug in both dynamic and studio-grade condenser microphones. A gain knob lets you adjust the input level and a clip LED alerts you if you are overdriving the input. British-style 3-band EQs provide warm and musical tone corrections for your vocals and instruments.
The four sets of stereo inputs each feature +4/-10 switches used to match the mixer's input sensitivity with the incoming signal. This helps avoid signal degradation when connecting stereo keyboards or playback devices to the mixer. Pan (or balance) and level controls are included for all channels. Each channel is equipped with a post-fader FX send, which you can use to send signal to an external processor of your choice.
The 2-Track section provides an easy way to connect an external 2-track recorder and/or playback device. The 2-Track inputs are assignable to either the main mix or to the control room/phones outputs. The main mix fader controls the signal at both the main outs and 2-Track outputs, while a dedicated knob adjusts the volume for the phone/control room outputs.
