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.

Reviews

Feature:
it does everything i needed it to do- direct outs were essential to me, effects are ok... lots of flexibility in signal routing.

Quality:
cheap mic pre's make the whole thing suck

Value:
it is extremely flexible in its signal routing, i just had to buy another component to make it work... so i guess it isn't completely worthless.

Desirability:
nice looking, but not so quick on the inside- kinda like a pretty girl that can't have an intelligent conversation.

Sound:
the mic pre amps don't work worth a damn. turning up the gain 99% produces NO sound then in the last fraction of a millimeter of the knob the sound suddenly appears- and CLIPS! i had to buy a seperate 8 channel mic preamp to use the board at all.

Ease of Use:
not bad

Support:
i called the behringer help line hoping that maybe mine was just broken. i explained that the mixer made NO sound until the gain was ALL the way up and then it suddenly clipped- the 'engineer' said that it was supposed to work that way and that it was making sound, but i couldn't her it... what is the point of that? this is not my first mixer, i know when something doesn't work and i will NEVER buy another behringer mixer again.

Overall:
i will make do with this for now, but i will never buy another behringer mixer again
