Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
The XENYX Q1202USB gets its name from our legendary, high headroom XENYX mic preamps, which have 
been praised by audio engineers all over the world. 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, the XENYX Q1202USB provides 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 Q1202USB mixer.
