Product Description
The XENYX 2442FX has 24 inputs and 4 Aux Sends for each channel. Additionally, 4 subgroups with separate outputs have been incorporated for routing flexibility. The new XENYX Mic Preamp matches the sound quality, transparency, headroom and even the dynamic range of boutique-style, stand-alone mic preamps. Neo-classic "British" EQ brings back the warmth and musicality of those '60s and '70s mega-console desks that made music history. The XENYX FX mixers incorporate a new studio-grade 24-bit FX processor.

 A great deal better than most would think November 18, 2008
I use the mixer for recording primarily and really haven't had a chance to use it for any live applications, as robust as this mixer is I'm sure it could handle it just fine. The USB sound device thrown in with the mixer is also a great deal and works well with ASIO and Mackie DAW software.
This is a very nice mixer for the price. The mic preamps are very quiet and the mixer sliders are very true and accurate for a mixer with these features in this price range. The one thing I wish it had was a graphic EQ along with the parametric EQ as I prefer a graphic EQ on final mix. The mixer has enough inputs, sends and returns, digital effects and subgroups to satisfy the most demanding applications I have used it for without a hitch. Christmas is right around the corner and I will use Amazon again when it's time to purchase more microphones for my microphone closet and that Graphic EQ I was harping about in the review.
 great product for the price September 16, 2008
We have had this mixer for several months now and it works great. No problems and several presets to choose from. Ideal for a small- medium church, band,etc.
No regrets so far.
Mixin' it up down at the church. March 9, 2008

With the previous UB series mixers, Behringer began to shed its reputation as a maker of throwaway gear for DJs and touring bands who don't have money to burn. The UB series turned out to be solidly built mixers that delivered a lot of bang for the buck and were darn near impossible to destroy. The XENYX series completes the transformation. No longer snubbed by serious musicians as a bargain-basement brand, Behringer is now a genuine contender. I wouldn't be surprised if other gear makers are taking these things apart to see what makes 'em tick.
At the top of the XENYX line is the 2442FX with 12 fader channels. The first 8 are mono mic or line inputs, followed by a pair of mono mic or stereo line inputs, shades of the Eurodesk series. Another pair of stereo line inputs rounds things out.
The mic pre-amps are dead-room quiet, delivering vocals with a natural presence. The line inputs are just as impressive, imbuing my wife's Epiphone guitar and Dean Markley ProMag Gold pickup with a warmth and range I hadn't heard before.
Additional inputs include mono and stereo insert points as well as sends and returns for modifying the sound with external processors, none of which we'll ever use at church but nice to have nonetheless. You can mix the sound down to 4 subgroups before sending everything to the main mix. The uses for the subgroup faders and routing switches are limited only by your imagination.
And then there's that built-in effects processor. Our church is a steel-frame building that acoustically doesn't cut it, so we add in some hall reverb (setting 8), giving the music those ethereal few seconds of hanging in the air. With the effects routed to subgroups 3/4, I can press a single button to turn the reverb on and off at will. For spoken readings during a hymn, the reverb can be potted down on individual channels. The subgroup buttons also function as standby switches, muting all the mics and instruments between hymns.
As if all that wasn't enough, Behringer includes a USB interface box so you can lay down tracks directly on your Mac or PC. Suddenly, you're not just a musician. You're a record producer as well.
So much performance for the price. It's almost sinful.
