Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
All XENYX mixers have one thing in common 
– great-sounding, high headroom XENYX 
mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic 
pres represent a major step in the evolution 
of audio technology – and they can easily 
hold their own, even when compared to the 
most expensive stand-alone mic preamps. 
XENYX preamps off er a staggering 130 dB of 
dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends 
from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. 
Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, 
XENYX mixers provide such transparent, 
crystal-clear performance you just might 
think someone upgraded your mics while you 
weren’t looking.
One-Knob Compression
Ask professional sound engineers what 
their favorite piece of external processing 
gear  is  and  the  majority  response  will  be 
virtually unanimous  dynamic compression. 
What is compression? We’re glad you asked. 
Compression essentially limits the dynamic 
range of a signal, lowering the level of 
loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, 
to achieve sonic balance. But applying 
compression is a delicate art that many novice, 
and even intermediate, sound techs fi nd 
challenging. Our “one-knob” compression 
is available on all mono channels and is easy 
to operate, even for entry-level users. With this 
one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments 
and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for 
products in this class  but standard on the XENYX X1622USB mixer.
