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 have great difficulty 
mastering. 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 all XENYX USB mixers. 

All XENYX USB Series mixers  
(except the 1204USB) feature our 
new 24-bit dual engine FX processor, 
with 16 editable, studio-grade presets 
including reverb, chorus, flanger, 
delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. 
Complete with a highly accurate input 
meter, these effects can be altered to your 
personal taste via the Parameter control. 
Time-based functions can be entered 
manually by pressing the Tap button in 
tempo with the music. 

There was a time when the recording 
process called for lots and lots 
of expensive gear, which meant the 
average musician had to buy time at a 
recording studio—and that time was 
pricey indeed. But modern technology 
has put personal recording well within 
the reach of virtually anyone with access 
to a computer. How do you get all that 
music flying around your brain into your 
computer? That’s where XENYX USB 
mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, 
bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, 
you can connect any of these mixers 
directly to your PC or Mac computer via a 
single USB cable. Now any signal source 
you connect to the mixer can be recorded 
directly to your hard drive. Which brings 
us to software…

Because you’ll want to take full advantage 
of the XENYX USB Series mixers’ recording 
and podcasting potential, we’ve thrown in 
a massive software package that includes 
Audacity (the most popular open source 
audio editor), Podifier, Juice, Podnova 
and Golden Ear (a great selection of 
podcasting software). You’re ready to 
go live on your PC or Mac computer 
right  out of the box! You also get more 
than 100 virtual instruments and 50 FX 
plug-ins, turning your computer into 
a complete home-based or mobile 
recording studio from input to output.
