sw80 « Awesome FX processing »
Published on 02/01/13 at 04:23The Xenyx 1202FX is a 12 input mixer that is loaded with some really good effects. I was completely shocked at how low the price was on this mixer and how great the effects are. This mixer has great 3 band EQ’s that gave me a great sound and the preamps are very nice too. They are warm and clean, they sound like some of the preamps that I have on some of my higher end mixers that cost a lot more than the Xenyx 1202FX.
UTILIZATION
There are over 100 built in effect presets like chorus, delay, pitch shifter and reverb (and many more). Each channel has an FX send. This mixer has 24 bit FX processing which is almost unheard of out of a mixer at this price. This mixer was not too portable to me because of the fact that it has 12 channels and is a little wider than most of the portable mixers that I have used in the past but that did not stop me from taking it with me because of the pre amps and FX processing alone!
SOUNDS
The 1202FX does have compression and a lot of effects but it has no computer connectivity like USB. The EQ is 3 band and can be found on each of the channels. The knobs are made well and the LED metering is top notch. There is not phantom power, which would have been nice to have but with everything else being so good I can look past that. I love this mixer and will continue to use it whenever I need it.
OVERALL OPINION
The FX processing on this unit is truly my favorite feature of it, it gives lots of options and FX’s to work with. They are all high quality and sound amazing. You can also purchase this same mixer without the effects for a little cheaper but why not spend a little more money and get all 100 plus effects.
