Behringer Xenyx QX1832USB

The Behringer Xenyx QX1832 USB,

i cannot think of anything bad about the desk it is truly amazing!

It is very convenient to handle,
It's lightweight so no "back pains",,

it has a 48V phantom power supply that doesn't "Humm" like other desks i have bought in the past,

Their is a built in compressor in every mic channel, And is very useful really clever idea especially if you use a dynamic microphone,or have a quieter voice,or if you need setup for speech.

NOW! this is were it gets interesting! its internal Klark Teknik FX processor with 16 different presets is AMAZING no words can describe it

The Behringer Xenyx QX1832 USB also has a voice cancellation switch
so ideal for karaoke when i tried it it brought the lead vocals down to about 15% not all of it,,saying that i didn't find a desk that i could bring them down completely :P
the backing vocals were fine

for the people who don't know what a USB interface is, it allows you to connect your desk to your laptop,PC etc,, its USB-PC connection comes with the desk along with a 3 pin kettle lead:)

now when i received the package from Thomann it did not include the 19" rack mount so be aware of that!
,
The quality of the Behringer Xenyx QX1832 USB is very satisfying and truly outstanding ,

Thank you for yet another great item from Behringer!
and of course the Thomann team!,,

Best thing I have ever ever ever bought!!!

I went away and Bought a second right away as a gift!!

Ive used the Behringer digital desk for ten years now but Im downsizing all my stage gear but still wanted a desk that does everything, effects ,graphic compression etc. and this fits the bill very nicely.
If anything the mic pres are a lot better than the ones in my ten year old digital desk so better sound vocaly. Ok there is a slight compromise on the effects front to what Ive been using that's why I went for the slighty better qx version with the clark technics effects chip. The reverbs are very usable and warm without sounding too lush and overpowering.
The flexibility this desk offers as far as outputs are concerned is incredible. With two monitor sends main and control room out as well as sub group outs gives me a universe full of options. it means I can run the onboard graphic to control the eq to my iems while using an external eq for the front of house and still have sub out to send to an inhouse system without eq when needed and I do that quite a lot doing holiday camps or hotels wher you are required to use in house systems too.
I know Behringer stuff gets bad press but Ive been using the ddx 3216 without a problem for ten years, I also use the v amp pro, ultradrive, ultragain and composer compressor and Ive never had a moment of problem with anything( Ive got 3 v amps I love them) so don't pass them by many top engineers use their stuff

Nice comfortable analoge mixer. Good sound, and good effects. Easy to use. Only critical note is that in the line of all usb analoge mixers is that there not enough channels for equipments to plug in. I wished that they had a 24 channel usb mixer. I mean by that not 24 channel and only till 16 and after that channels seperated used. So 24 solo( stereo/ mono) for example for a drummachine allready 10 channels, synth 1 or 2 channels, rd3 ( mono) so 2 channels. And with 18 channels than you can figure out there is a shortage of use in a practical way of channels use. That is the only critic i have on the behringer usb QX line of mixers. The other mixer line 24/ 32 ect are not usb/ pc compatible what is in my opinion not so usefull. I hope they will make that possible in this new era to make it easyer for home studio's. Knowing that having enough channels is a challange, and second its nice to record live tracks/ performing via usb/ pc/ laptop.
