Tons of I/O, built-in multi FX and USB audio interfacing with your computer. Could Behringer's X2222USB have all the tools you need to record and mix, in a single box?
Having multi-functional gear is a great way to save space, money and clutter. So how about eight XENYX mic channels with inserts, dedicated compressors, 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids and three Aux Sends? You get all that with the X2222USB, plus four stereo line-level channels, two convenient mix subgroups and onboard 24-bit digital FX processing, with dual user-addressable parameter controls.
All this and more enclosed in a rack-ready, roadworthy steel chassis. 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.
