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 o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

your mics while you weren’t looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s
changed the sound of rock and roll—
without them the British Invasion might
not have happened. Those legendary
mixing desks soon became the envy of
engineers and producers all over the
world. The channel EQ on our XENYX
mixers is based on that very same
circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals
with incredible warmth and detailed
musical character. Even when applied
generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet
forgiveness and superb audio quality.
