stereo surround effect (creates a broader, enhanced stereo image), and a handy
Voice Canceller function for removing vocals from pre-recorded tapes and CDs
for “instant-karaoke” applications. 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. Sonically Superior Mic Preamps All XENYX
mixers have one thing in common – great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic
preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the
evolution of audio technology – and they can easily hold their own, even when
compared to the most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a
staggering 130 dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below
10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, XENYX
mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might
think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. Sublimely Musical
British EQ The British consoles of the 1960s and ’70s changed the sound of
rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened.
Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers
all over the world. The channel EQ on our XENYX mixers is based on that very
same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and
detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers
exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality. One-Knob Compression Ask
professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing
gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous – dynamic
compression. What is compression? We’re glad you asked. Compression
essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud
sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying
compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound
techs have great difficulty mastering. Our “one-knob” compression is available
on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With
this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for
instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This
is indeed a rare feature for products in this class – but standard on all
XENYX USB mixers. Effective FX All XENYX USB Series mixers (except the
1204USB) feature our new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable,
studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter
and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects
can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control. Time-based
functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the
music. Recording Bliss There was a time when the recording process called for
lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy
time at a recording studio – and that time was pricey indeed. But modern
technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually
anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around
your brain into your computer? That’s where XENYX USB mixers come in. Thanks
to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect
any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB
cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly
to your hard drive. Which brings us to software. Free Would Be Nice! Because
you’ll want to take full advantage of the XENYX USB Series mixers’ recording
and podcasting potential, we’ve thrown in a massive software package that
includes Audacity (the most popular open source audio editor), Podifier,
Juice, Podnova and Golden Ear (a great selection of podcasting software).
You’re ready to go live on your PC or Mac computer right out of the box! You
