The Behringer Xenyx QX1832USB is an 18-input analog mixer that punches well above its price class. Six XENYX mic preamps with phantom power handle condenser and dynamic mics alike, and the first six channels include one-knob compressors for quick dynamics control on vocals and instruments.

A 24-bit Klark Teknik multi-FX processor gives you 100 effects presets including reverb, delay, chorus, and flanger, while the 9-band stereo graphic EQ lets you shape your overall mix to suit the room. The built-in USB audio interface streams stereo audio to and from your computer for easy recording or playback. Three aux sends, a dedicated stereo channel, and the XPQ 3D stereo surround effect round out a feature set that covers everything from small venue live sound to home recording.
