TJGeeter « Try the XENYX1204 too »
Published on 04/01/13 at 14:20There are 16 inputs on the UB1622FX-PRO and a bunch of knobs and sliders. This mixer reminds me of the XENYX 1204usb mixer that is also made from Behringer. The UB1622FX-PRO is no longer manufactured and has been replaced by several models but I still think that the quality and build of the UB1622FX-PRO is one of the best they have made over at Behringer.
UTILIZATION
Some of the cons:
It is not made anymore and may be hard to find one still in good shape. Also it only has 4 stereo channels.
Some of the Pros:
Each one of those stereo channels has a 4 band parametric EQ. On the mono channels there are 3 band EQ’s and low cut options.
SOUNDS
This mixer does tend to have a lot of noise to it though and it does generate hissing and humming tones from time to. It is very affordable though and served its purpose for us. I would buy this mixer again because I know how well it was built and I never had a single problem or issue with it. I would use it as my main mixer if it didn’t have that much noise though.
OVERALL OPINION
Check out the XENYX 1204 USB mixer you are looking to get a mixer in this price range because it is very close to the UB1622FX-PRO. The parametric EQ is so much better than what this unit is worth the. The parametric EQ is the type that I see on more expensive mixers that are not made by Behringer. The precision and quality of sound is average maybe a 5 out of 10. But the build and make up of this mixer is a 10 easily because it is very solid and sturdy. Out of all of the Behringer models that I have used in this price range, this is the best built on by far.
