16-Channel Mixer Features Maximum Clarity at an Affordable Price

The new BEHRINGER XENYX UFX1604 boasts a stellar feature set that includes premium-grade XENYX mic preamps, “one-knob” compressors, British EQs and 24-bit onboard FX. The UFX1604 is light-years beyond the typical mixer, thanks to its built-in 16 x 4 USB/FireWire Interface and
16-Track USB-Recorder. Users can record live gigs directly to a USB stick, or even straight to a PC/Mac computer. The UFX1604’s transport section also functions as a remote control center for a computer-based DAW via MIDI.

Mono channels feature BEHRINGER’s legendary XENYX mic preamps, praised the world over by professional audio engineers for their sonic clarity and highheadroom performance. Channels 1 – 8 accept both balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS, as well as unbalanced 1/4″ TS connections. A Line/Hi-Z switch is provided on channels 1 & 2 so acoustic, electric and bass guitars can be connected without the need for an external DI box. Mono channel EQ is a highly musical “British” 4- band with sweepable Hi and Low Mids, complete with bypass switch per channel. True +48 V phantom power is available (and individually switchable) for each of the mono channel strips—a feature virtually unheard of on a mixer in this class and price point.

The XENYX UFX1604 has not one, but two robust 24-bit stereo FX processors with 16 editable presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, phaser, multieffects and Tap function. Rounding out the package is an extensive Talkback section with onboard Mic, mono channel Inserts, four stereo Aux Returns, a plethora of output options, plus software downloads and much more.
