All XENYX mixers share a common feature – the XENYX microphone preamps with exceptional sound and high headroom. These state-of-the-art microphone preamps represent a significant step in the evolution of audio technology – and can easily hold their own, even when compared to more expensive standalone microphone preamps. The XENYX preamps offer an impressive dynamic range of 130 dB, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding microphone preamps, XENYX mixers deliver such transparent, crystal-clear performance that you might just think someone upgraded your microphones while you weren't looking.

Equipped with the 24-bit Multi-FX studio-quality processor, the X1204USB offers you 16 impressive digital effect presets, such as delay, chorus, and reverb. Time-based functions can be manually entered by pressing the Tap button in rhythm with the music. Apply them to any channel, as well as to monitors and the main output. Naturally, if you have valuable outboard gear that you are attached to, the X1204USB allows you to integrate them into the mix – bypassing the built-in FX processor.
