User questions & answers

Question:	How to increase the echo on this system
Answer:	Echo is number 8 on the selector switch (effects knob) the 2 yellow knobs directly below control the intensity of the effect/echo... You can almost make it infinity but watch the feedback
Question:	Can this board be used with powered speakers instead of an amp
Answer:	Yes you can
Question:	Does it have 2 xlr imputs for my krk rokit 5 speakers
Answer:	Do you mean 2 xlr outputs? If so, yes, it does along with several 1/4" outputs as well. Not to sound like a jerk, but there are pictures on Amazon that clearly show the outputs and inputs of the board (along with the specifications in type on the page). :)
Question:	Does the USB output allow multi-track recording or is it just the mixed output signal
Answer:	Mixed output only..

Sonically Superior Mic Preamps

All XENYX mixers have one thing in common – great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology. 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, XENYX mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.

Studio-Quality Compressor - Stairway to Heaven

Our studio-grade compressor is based on classic and famous studio equipment from the 70’s. This totally transparent and musical compressor design allows your full dynamic range to shine through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, which is indicated by the highly visible status LED. The compressor increases sustain and gently smoothens out signal peaks, which is especially handy when you’re laying down the funk, à la slap and pop – or hammering home your most-aggressive metal lines. The resulting output level lets you unleash powerful and impact-laden bass lines, while still sitting right where you need to be in the mix!

Sublimely Musical British EQ

The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – 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 mixers 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.

User questions & answers

Question:	how to plug into speakers
Answer:	It's not a "powered mixer" you have to plug the main output into an amp then the speakers into the amp. Or plug the main output into "powered speakers" like krk rokit 8's.
Question:	How much time does it work on batteries
Answer:	The manual that comes with it says 4 hours. Are there any owners who have real world experience with battery life?
Question:	This mixer can hold up to 4 mics, correct? I'm looking for something to use in group discussions
Answer:	This sound board has 5 XLR phantom powered inputs. Therefore, you may have up to five microphones using this type of input cable. In addition to this, you have 1/4" cable inputs, and RCA inputs for extra mic's, or sound from other devices, such as your computer or a CD player. For these reasons, this board makes a great tool for doing group discussions.
Question:	what is the difference between the 1002b and the
Answer:	Quite a bit of difference. The amount of XLR connections available, the 1002B has 5 compared to the 2 available on the 1002. There are 2 monitor/fx sends on the 1002B as to 1 on the 1002. All of the channels have EQ on the 1002B, the 1002 does not. The 1002B uses slider faders for the channels as compared to rotary faders on the 1002. The 1002B utilizes a power switch to turn the mixer on/off, the 1002 does not have a power switch. The 1002B offers the option of using batteries to power the mixer for portable use, not the 1002. I could not find anything about the 1002 shipping with rack ear adapters. The 1002B came with rack ears making installation in my gear rack a breeze. All of these observations are from me looking at the images on the Behringer website for the 1002 as I do not own one. I do own the 1002B. Hope this helps with your decision.

BEHRINGER 5 IN MIXING BOARD W EQ. Mains voltage - 120 V~, 60 Hz

• Premium ultra-low noise, high headroom analog mixer
• State-of-the-art, phantom powered XENYX Mic Preamp comparable to stand-alone boutique preamps
• Neo-classic "British" 2-band EQ for warm and musical sound
• Main mix, stereo CD/tape plus separate headphone outputs
• CD/tape inputs assignable to headphone output or main mix outputs. Power consumption 13 W

User questions & answers

Question:	I didn't really understand the inputs on this mixer. So I have 3 electric guitars, and an electronic drum kit. Can all of these,with mic,be connected
Answer:	This mixer does not have sufficient mono channels for your application. Channels 2-3 and 4-5 are stereo inputs (meaning they are contolled with the same fader). Some of the larger Xenyx mixers will get you the inputs you need.... something with at least 5 distinct faders to control each instrument's mix individually.Hope this helps. :-)
Question:	Does this mixer support 48V Phantom Power
Answer:	Most microphones do not require 48 volts of phantom power. Many condenser microphones only require somewhere between 4 and 12 volts. You should check your mic. It looks like this is a 15 volt feed.
Question:	Can this mixer connect to a PC via a soundcard
Answer:	Yes, to an analog soundcard. All you need is a 1/8" stereo to dual-RCA cord. Mixer has both input and output RCA capability, so you could feed the output of the mixer to the line/mic of the soundcard or feed the output of the soundcard (line out/speaker out) to the input of the mixer. There is also a headphone jack on the mixer so that could also be patched back to the soundcard's line in/mic. For me, I am usually running the PC speaker out to the mixer RCA input -- the volume is controlled by the Main, and then I can either use headphones from the mixer or run the 1/4" output into my guitar amp. Hope this helps.
Question:	What does the 2 track input do
Answer:	The 2 track input allows you to connect an external music source to the xenxyx mixer and then into an amplifier with speakers or headphones using the outputs located near the top. The external music source can be anything that has the red and white RCA outputs such as a cassette/CD player or VCR/disc player (the red and white input/output for the 2 track are called RCA connectors). This is so you can plug in your CD player and also a microphone and an instrument that has a 1/4" output such as a guitar or electric piano and have it all mixed together. Just below the 2 track input are a couple of buttons that allow you to choose whichever output you want, either headphones or amplified speakers (main out). The 2 track outputs on the mixer will allow you to send the vocals and/or instrument mix to a recording device that has the red and white RCA inputs. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	P16 integration... I have many Sennheiser IEM EW300 G3's & love them - If I switch Presonus to X32 is there compelling IEM integration switch to P
Answer:	It could possibly do that. This is a latching switch so its push on, push off, not momentary. I used to use one on my keyboard to hold notes so it will probably work for you. Try it. It wont damage your keyboard.
Question:	Can we route/split 1 input (e.g. 1 mic input) into say 3 different inputs as if 3 mics all receiving the same audio source
Answer:	That depends. This pedal does not ‘pass’ signal thru it. It only has has 1 jack so it only switches. So if you have an active subwoofer and it has a footswitch (on/off) 1/4” TS jack, then yes. Otherwise, no. Hooe this helps.
Question:	How many years have you been having this unit for? Have you experienced any repairs
Answer:	This is a foot switch for guitar amp channel control.
Question:	What is the configuration of the expansion slot that the X32 ships with? Is it USB able to connect multi-track to PC? If so, how many channels
Answer:	16 AWG

Question:	If you set this up behind stage but operate from front of house, how do you get audio from front of house to backstage (like an iPod, or computer
Answer:	I agree with Sean on this one. I usually plug in an MP3 player and just fade in the music. This may not be the best option for you if you are constantly needing to queue music. When I've had to do that, I've done it 2 different ways, both involve a stage snake: one way was I run an actual stage snake and have the Behringer with me as if it were a traditional mixer. The second way is to run a snake for only the 2 channel audio from the laptop next to me and send it up into the stage. Again, both involve a snake and sort of defeat the main purpose of this. However, you still gain remote access to the mixer which still allows you to roam around the room to adjust the audio. It's not a complete loss if you need constant access to a music source.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anybody in the last few months had a problem with the FX board? I had an older behringer that had problems with the capacitors
Answer:	I haven't taken it apart to check, but it basically just splits the same signal into two outputs so I would expect its wired in parallel.
Question:	how many tracks
Answer:	This not for sending 1 thing to 2 outputs, this is to put 2 things in and send to 1 output. Like a mic and a guitar to 1 amp.
Question:	Can you record multiple tracks to a computer simultaneously and edit those independant tracks later? Or does it just record 1 stereo audio
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Got mine this week - and have discovered that the only way you can hear music from your PC at the same time you're playing is with headphones
Answer:	Yes, this will work with any 1/4" TS cable, which is cool because you can choose any color/ length/ right angle/ straight cord you want. It is a passive switch - just plug in and play (or switch channels). HTH

FBQ - Totally Feedback-Free

For more than 20 years, Behringer has designed and manufactured some of the most successful FBQ Feedback Elimination processors.

Utilizing an ultra-fast feedback detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. When feedback is sensed in a specific frequency range, the LED on the associated EQ fader illuminates, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome the feedback. That simple!

Special Features

The X1222USB comes equipped with channel Inserts for inputs 1 – 4 for use with outboard FX, a stereo 7-band graphic EQ, which can be assigned to the main or monitor buses and our proprietary FBQ Feedback Detection System. Other features include full-sized faders for Monitor and FX Sends, our XPQ 3D stereo surround effect (creates a broader, enhanced stereo image), and a handy Voice Canceller function for removing vocals from pre-recorded media for 'instant-karaoke' applications.

Recording Bliss

There 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 – 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?

Answer:	The included power supply operates in 120V, 60Hz. Kindly contact Behringer for the appropriate 220V power adapter model. Behringer can be reached at [behringer. com/service. html]
Question:	How many mics can I connect to this
Answer:	You can plug only one microphone in the Behringer XENYX Q502USB Mixer.
Question:	Does this mixer come with a power supply? If not, which power supply would work with it
Answer:	Yes. It comes with a power supply. My only complaint is the power connector to the unit. It has an old 5 pin connector like the old mouse and keyboard inputs on old pc’s . Another note, this model has phantom power, but it is only 15 v. If you need 48 v phantom power for most condenser mics, get the next model up. (Q802USB).

User questions & answers

Question:	FX has long echo effect. Does it provide good echo effect as that of other mixers? Is echo effect is also in Behringer 802 mixer
Answer:	This is the correct cable to use when going stereo to mono. Stereo(2 black rings on actual 3.5mm input prong) to mono(one black ring on 1/4" input prong). BUT 'thru your i-phone'? IDK, thats a little vague. I use this cable with a Guitar/I-Rig/I-Pad/AMP. Guitar 1/4" patch cable out from I-Rig to Guitar.This cable's 3.5mm stereo end from I-Rig to AMPLIFIER 1/4" input. I-Rig into I-Pad headphone jack.
Question:	Is this effects mixer good for Karaoke
Answer:	There are no resistors in this wire. The stereo signals are simply shorted together. This cable's proper use is 1/4" mono output to a 3.5mm stereo input.
Question:	I keep seeing that a mixer doesn’t record voices?? how can i use this for a podcast? whatelse do i need
Answer:	I've been using it to connect ipad/iphone/portable DVD player to a PA system with no problems at all.
Question:	Can you apply the digital effects to just certain inputs like 2 mics, but leave the music alone? I'm looking to upgrade from the 802 without FX
Answer:	It's designed to split in 2 outputs from 1 input and not 3 outputs

User questions & answers

Question:	does this mixer have phantom 48v
Answer:	Yes!

Answer:	Yes, it is compatible a 100% with garageband
Question:	it will work with os sierra on a mac air
Answer:	Yes, I was able to use this to record a podcast on my Mac.
Question:	How do I connect an RCA audio source (CD player) into this while maintaining the audio from my 3 mics? The 2-track mutes the mics
Answer:	I haven't tried it, but I would think you would need to convert from your RCA to 1/4" banana plug type adapters such as the Hosa Cable GPR101 RCA To 1/4 Inch TS Adaptor - 2 Pack. (Search it on Amazon). You need to connect it as an audio source, the RCA plugs on these don't seem to do much but give you sound through the headphones coming back in so for example if you were using a metronome to keep time while laying down a bass groove, you wouldn't actually be passing that metronome click back through to your recording, just the headphones...

User questions & answers

Question:	want to hook up three microphones (two wired rode procaster black mics) and one rode podcaster usb mic (white mic) would mixer work? what need extra
Answer:	Physical inputs can be routed to multiple channels. Routing is done after the pre-amp, so if you have it on 3 channel strips they all share the one pre-amp but all other channel settings are separate. I use this for my pastor, one channel for singing and the other speaking, allows me to have different EQ settings and compression.
Question:	So we are hosting a talk radio show, looking to upgrade board, the usb out will capture all sound from 4 mics to a single recording
Answer:	I bought a full X32 when it was first released in 2012. I bought an X32 rack in 2013. Other than the learning curve at the beginning when I first used it, its been smooth sailing. Both the desks have held up well in my rental inventory. I own a small sound rental/hire business and I have been using both units quite a lot at concerts, corporate events, weddings and festivals for the past 3 to 4 years. Nothing has broken on either of my units, but I generally work alone or with a well skilled partner so I baby my equipment YMMV.
Question:	What cord do I need to hook this up to my Mac
Answer:	X32 Consoles that are over about 12 months old (about July 2013) have an XUF card that has both a USB 2.0 and a Firewire 800 port. My console has that card, but I have since purchased two X32 Racks and their expansion card is the XUSB card and it only has a USB 2.0 port (something about Apple not supporting the Firewire chip set anymore). I have done a lot of recording with both the console and the racks and have not had any problems with either. The XUSB card will connect to your PC or Mac and do a full 32 IN and 32 OUT to your DAW such that the DAW can control the console with remote control. Basically you just need to make sure that the Head Amps for each track are sending a hot signal, but NOT CLIPPING. That will screw up a tracks recording faster than anything. You can use compressors in the DAW to recover from too weak a signal, but you can't do anything about a clipped signal. For DAW's, I have used Presonus Studio One, Tracktion64, Pro Tools, and Apple Logic Pro X. I usually capture the tracks from a live recording using Studio One, but always do my mix down and mastering with Apple Logic Pro X. I have recorded 32 tracks without any problem.
Question:	does the usb work both ways? meaning can i hook up to my computer to play music through the mixboard from my virtual dj program
Answer:	I am not familiar with the Xenyx 802 but any 1/4-inch INPUT receiving jack for a single channel on the mixer should allow you to send the signal to the phone to any other recording device connected on the output side of the mixing board. Just remember that the signal being sent to record will be mono,

One-Knob Compression

Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous – dynamic compression. What is compression? We’re 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 “one-knob” 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 – but standard on the XENYX 1204USB mixer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this mixer connect to speaker , subwoofer and dj controller together
Answer:	I’m assuming you would go with your DJ controller into this unit, then you could send the out to the sub and PA speaker. You might also be able to run a separate aux out to the sub and just give it more when you need to. Personally I would get a mackie 802 before I buy this.

Answer:	Yes, I hook mine up to 2 crown Amps. I run them bridged made use one for the left channel and one for the right channel.
Question:	Can this be used for live performance with output to PA and monitor ( one vocal and acoustic guitar
Answer:	Yes you can. You have stereo monitor outs (called Control Room) as well as main outs, and they have independent controls. The control room outs share the same level as the HEADPHONES out, though. You do have an extra AUX out that can serve as a different send to a monitor, but it is mono.

Question:	For USB recording, can I have four people (each using their own mic) sent to my computer at the same time? Using it for a podcast
Answer:	It’s only a stereo output with the USB cable.
Question:	I am going to purchase three (Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone) mics. Will these plug into this mixer? Sorry I'm brand new at this
Answer:	As long as the mixer has oitputs - RCA or 1/4inch jacks you can connect to a Desktop or Laptop. You need only find a jumper cable with a stereo RCA plug at one end and a 3.5 mm jack at the other end. You plug the output from the mixer to the MIC and or Aux in on the PC if laptop maybe the same hole/jack as the hradphones. They are often 2 in 1 setups these days. I have my mixer hooked up this way and it allows me to then add whatever I like to the input on the mixer to record on my PC with outstanding results.
Question:	Im interested in buying this. We have 6 mics, and need to record the audio from all of them to a laptop during meetings. Will this do what I need
Answer:	I do not have a P16. I do run different brands of in ears off the Aux outputs of the X32 including the brand and version you mentioned. The presonous does not compare to the x32 in my opinion.

User questions & answers

Question:	I wonder why (given the fact that this mixer appears in marvel’s “justice league” as batman/allfred’s secret weapon) the mfr. hasn’t recalled
Answer:	Yes, there are 99 effects on the mixer. I use it for karaoke and for my instruments. Here's a list of the effects. http://www.soh.cz/data_images/Image/pronajem/manual/XENYX-1202FXcz.PDFI recommend it if it's for family get togethers and parties. I really enjoy it.
Question:	how many watts does this produce
Answer:	A mixer does not, in fact, record anything. It acts as a go-between from your microphones to your computer (or other recording device). The plus to having a mixer is that you can have multiple microphone inputs with XLR cables and adjust the volume levels for each one separately. For this board in particular, you'll need a 1/4" L/R to single 3.5mm headphone cable (like this one that I used: http://amzn.to/2z1BGDG). That will run from the Main Out on the board to your microphone input on your PC or laptop. If you're looking to start a podcast from scratch and already have a computer with recording software like Audacity, Audition, etc. You'll need not only this board, but also some microphones, stands, XLR cables, and the cable I mentioned above. Depending on your type of podcast, if it's just you talking, you might be better off starting with a single USB mic (Like the Blue Yeti or Blue Snowball) which will allow you to go without the need for an audio mixer, cables, etc. The plus side of getting the board right away is that mics can be pretty cheap (we use a Behringer microphone set that we picked up: http://amzn.to/2yjdQWO). It allows you to have multiple hosts and keep your audio levels sounding good for each. As a fair warning with this board, there is no built-in on/off switch, so it needs to be unplugged after use (it seems to get pretty hot if you leave it plugged in all the time). This isn't much of an issue for me, more of a mild inconvenience, but I know that might be a deal breaker for some.
Question:	where can I find the free software, check the web site could not find it
Answer:	I believe there is an fx knob on each channel so you can add as much or as little fx as you want. You can only use 1 setting at a time. You can't put reverb on one track and chorus on another. You get 1 fx for all the tracks.
Question:	Has anyone had any issues with ground loop hum on this mixer
Answer:	I had a problem with FX unit about a year ago. Behringer fixed it at no charge (it was sill under warranty). Has been working fine since. See the following link for more details, if you are interested. https://www.amazon.com/review/R2FBHLSN7RQ5WN/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv
