Great little mixer
Whenever buying a small mixer, always get the most mic channels you can because you're always going to run out even if you think you won't.
This is a nice desk. Lots of inputs and built in FX. I put one into a local school and it was so nice that a visiting band stole it (yes I did buy another one)! We've used it for plays, musicals and even a flying visit by the three tenors (not the real ones).
The mono inputs have mid-range sweep which is really good for such a low-end desk. There are 4 sub groups and a monitor mix so there are lots of possibilities for routing. The Monitor and FX aux send masters have full sliders rather than knobs which is a nice touch.
The FX processor has a good choice of effects although it can be a bit hissy if you push it up too loud.
Lots of people say that Behringer gear is sub-standard but I've never had any complaints and I also own 3 other Behringer desks.

Awesome mixer for the price
I bought this as my first analog mixer and I’m very satisfied with my order.
The build quality doesn’t feel bad in the slightest and for the price, it’s great.
I’ve had it for about a month now and I’ve been using it everyday, no technical issues have occurred with it yet.
I’ve noticed though, that the mixer does get pretty hot sometimes, not worryingly hot, but still a bit alarming. This is my first analog mixer though, so I don’t really know if this applies to all analog mixers.
The EQ parameters are great, but I don’t really understand why the mono channel EQs (unlike the stereo channels) don’t have a mid freq nob, but you can only adjust a specific frequency in the mid range?
The built in fx processor is great, but I was a bit bummed that you can’t have sperate fx types on each channel, but I’m guessing that’s not possible in that price range.
Overall really enjoying this product, it sits nicely with my setup and it’s a huge improvement from my poor setup as it was before.

The Xenex series by Behringer - The X2222
So originally I needed a full featured yet compact enough desk for a radio studio, So I bought the x2222 by Behringer and so far it has not disappointed. Its best features are it Fx processor and the british Eq.
The fx section seems to be an upgraded version of the effects processor contained in the now infamous Eurodesk by Behringer.
The Eq section works very well on the channels and when I eventually decided to start using the desk at gigs on top of the radio studio it started to show it diverse use. Especially for the price!
The Xenyx series also come with a USB interface. So you can plug it in to your computer and install with the driver which will allow you to use the desk with your favorite Digital audio workstation. The recording will only appear as one stereo or mono track though as the 22 channels will not be treated as individual tracks by the software. If you need something to record individual tracks simultaneously try the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r.
Overall the X2222 is a great desk for the price.

Great stuff for good price
For those who are looking for easy console to practice or having fun with a fev instriments - it`s great choice. It`s not Rolls Royce of mixing consoles maybe but it`s easy to use and sounds quite good. Perfect for small gigs. I`m useing it all the time for a year maybe and nothing`s wrong with it. I'm really satisfied!

Robust and Simple
We are a 5 piece rock covers band and needed a mixer desk for rehearsals and gigs, as always money was tight so opted for this over some of the more expensive brands. Don't really know how different a more expensive brand would sound as this one sounds absolutely fine and no complaints from any of the gigs about the sound quality.
Not disappointed with this one little bit, simple to use once you get the hang of it with loads of bits and pieces we have yet to actually use.
Just enough inputs for us as a five piece but would always be nice to have maybe a few more XLR inputs.
Also just found a way of boosting the vocals through the desk without increasing everything else by using main and sub mix together.
The one downside to this has to be the manuals and instructions, its the same as the Behringer website but you don't really get told how to use it, you just get told where the buttons are.
You really do have to use this to know how it all works.

my main mixer for last few years
I use this mixer to control my Cabinet room. I mainly record guitar gear reviews for YouTube. this mixer is in my studio since I have build special room for mikes and cabs. I gat all the microphones connected to it and just switch to the one I use at the moment.
Very good preamps and compressors
One of the knobs became little cracky, but exept that, absolutely no problems
Easy to use, sounds good.
I have never tried to use it as an interface, I use it as analog mixer.
reliable product specially within the price range.

More Good surprises
So it works, it sounds good not Allen and Heath good, but much better than the price suggests. The preamps are nice, reasonably transparent and controllable in a loud spill filled environment. the effects are more than useable and the routing options are good for a desk this size. Feels a little flimsy on the faders but all the xlr and yrs connectors feel nice and uh tight....one small gripe the usb out (taken from the main faders) is quite a low level maybe a driver issue but I'm recording into Logic X so I doubt it, it is also not as obvious to set up as one of tape ins has to be on and not the other, might be in the manuel but there is a you tube video showing how to do it.
Very happy customer and a good desk, well done Behringer.
