Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB

Una gran mesa de mezclas, muy versátil y con unas posibilidades de conexión que no tiene ninguna otra mesa de mezclas de su categoría en el mercado.
No le he puesto las cinco estrellas porque con el volumen a tope de salida y sin señal de audio, el ruido de fondo es apreciable, pero cuando estamos trabajando con audio el ruido de fondo no se nota.
También otra cosa que no me ha gustado es que por su diseño de los laterales no tiene posibilidad de un adaptador con alas para poderla montar en un rack de 19". Ahora bien si vas a tener la mesa de mezclas sobre una superficie plana, esta cumple perfectamente su función.

Home Studio use only.
Handling: After a bit of practice it is very easy to get it to do exactly what you require. In my case I feed the direct outs and subs into my 16 Ch audio interface. I have it also set up via patch bay each way send/return to DAW/Mixer and back. Additionally I have inserts and returns from various outboard units. The comprehensive configuration possibilities of this mixer allow me to do this and for the price no other mixer can match it's signal routing capability. The Klark Teknik effects are excellent especially the digital reverb which outclasses my Polara by a wide margin. Audio is crystal clear, eq works well. I have not calibrated the compression yet but will do so against various plug-ins in Cubase. Even though I'm still exploring it's extensive possibilities at this stage I feel it is an excellent investment for my set up: 8 synths/drum machines, electric and acoustic guitars and vocals and two PC's.
Pros:
Signal Routing is very brilliantly conceived and executed
Effects are very good to excellent with tap tempo and BPM
Ease of use (after you get used to balancing sends/returns)
Sound quality is without any noise at all (unless you have a ground loop or there is a problem with your sound modules or other external factor)
The BIG Surprise: The pre-amps used for recording acoustic guitars and vocals are extremely clear with plenty of headroom, they are neutral in terms of colouring but I like that.
Value for money: no other mixer comes close in this class.
Quality: All knobs and faders are tight and without play except for the control room volume pot which has a very slight amount of give (it would have gotten 5 stars if it were not for this)

Cons
The manual is rubbish.
No rack ears even though it has the same footprint as the slightly cheaper variant without the Klark Teknik effects which has a rack mount kit included

Would I recommend this unit: Yes (it's €400 cheaper than the closest Mackie or Soundcraft rival with no compromises other than the Brand name and I couldn't care less about that)

Channel 8 "burned" after a clean synth signal went through. It's inputs are quite sensitive with the low end. Handle with care.
Overall great. Bought it as a through/post fader/eq thing to use for multitracking and it dies the job well thanks to the direct outs and sub outs.
Bard in mind though that he subs outs are 4, not 8. They are 4 "doubled" signals not 4 stereo ones. Still cool.
