Overview
A built-in USB audio interface passes signals both ways between this Behringer mixer and a computer. The four mono channels carry mic preamps, the stereo inputs handle line sources, and a multi-effects processor is on board.
Reason to buy is the combination of mic preamps, per-channel compression and a USB link in a small desk, so one box handles both stage and recording. The limitation is that the listing gives only a few numbers for the audio path, and the voltage and warranty fields are vague.
Who it's for
A band running a few mics plus keyboards, or a home studio recording straight to a computer, can use all of these features. Larger bands needing many more mic channels will run out of preamps.
Pros and cons
- Mic preamps with phantom power
- USB audio interface built in
- One-knob compressor on mono channels
- Two Aux Sends per mono channel
- Only four mono channels
- Voltage listed as 240 volts
- Warranty text points to external page
- Software update support unknown
Performance notes
Each mono channel has a compressor and an EQ before the signal reaches the mix, so levels can be controlled at the channel. Two Aux Sends, one pre-fader and one post-fader, route to monitors or effects, and the stereo returns bring external effects back. The USB interface moves signal between mixer and computer in both directions.
