Perfect for a small
live-performance mixer, as well as home-based recording setup, the
1204USB provides four mono channels with premium XENYX mic preamps,
neo-classic 3-band British-style EQ and two stereo input channels. Far
from being a “bare-bones” mixer, all mono channels feature our “one
knob” studio-grade compressor and two Aux Sends (one each pre- and
post-fader). Two stereo Aux Returns are included for use with external
FX modules. The built-in USB audio interface provides bi-directional
transfer of signals between the mixer and computer. XENYX
USB Series mixers are designed to handle your live gigs, and they
provide the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning,
professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio
interfaces, XENYX USB mixers come with all the recording and editing
software you’ll need to turn your computer system into a complete,
high-performance home recording studio.
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—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, XENYX mixers provide such
transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone
upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQThe 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.
One-Knob CompressionAsk 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 have great difficulty mastering. 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 all XENYX USB mixers.
Effective FXAll XENYX USB Series mixers (except the 1204USB)
feature our new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable,
studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch
shifter and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter,
these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter
control. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the
Tap button in tempo with the music.
Recording BlissThere 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? That’s
where XENYX USB mixers come 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…
Free Would Be Nice!
Because you’ll want to take
full advantage of the XENYX USB Series mixers’ recording and podcasting
potential, we’ve thrown in a massive software package that includes
Audacity (the most popular open source audio editor), Podifier, Juice,

You’re ready to go live on your PC or Mac computer right out of the

turning your computer into a complete home-based or mobile recording
studio from input to output.
