Review: Great Board for Live Sound - My experience with Behringer boards begins in roughly 2001. I have used their boards of all sizes from the little X502 up to the Eurodesk-sized boards, and have personally owned five of them in that time. I have never had any problems with any of their products, and have always been happy with their performance. I've used them in live sound applications for theatrical productions, for some recording, and for live concerts. They offer numerous signal routing options which gives you a lot of flexibility. When I found myself playing rhythm guitar in a nine-piece band, I needed as many channels as possible in a rack-mountable board. This, to my knowledge, is the largest rack-mountable board made by Behringer. Each time I buy a new board of theirs, it's not because there is something wrong with the one I have, I simply need more channels or subgroups. I mounted this board directly into the top panel of my SKB case. I like that it has a light socket on the top although I was a little irritated that it didn't come with a gooseneck light. The USB recording functionality is cool, making this board worthy of being used in a recording application as well. I've always found the Behringer boards are sturdy and produce quality sound at a price much less than other brands of similar quality. I highly recommend this, and any other Behringer board that suits your requirements in size or the number of channels, subgroups, or any other parameter.
Review: Best budget mixer available, period! - To start with, this is not a true 24 channel mixer, however, there are 24 inputs on this board. There are only 10 mic preamp xlr ports, with another two L/R inputs for a keyboard or similar. That being said, there are some things you can do to maximize your inputs and that's where this board really shines. By using Y cables, you can combine things like backup vocals or some drum mics into one feed, and get more sound into the board. One of the things I like most about this board is the fact that it has a 4 bus structure, providing the ability to personalize 4 monitor feeds. I bought this because I plan to run in ear monitors with my band, and we can get a customized mix for each member using this setup. This is the best small format mixer available!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do i run monitors to stage? need 4 monitors on stage, what are my options.**
A: You can use up to 4 separate monitor buses, but this mixer works best if you use Aux buses 1 and/or 2 as monitors because these are "pre-fader" outputs (which means you won't risk getting feedback from the monitor if you increase the channel fader volume).  Use the 1/4" phono jacks labeled "Aux Send" and run these to your POWERED MONITORS ( or to the input of a power amp for your monitors).  Adjust the volume of each channel in the monitor mix by adjusting the knob labeled "Aux 1" or "Aux 2".    Adjust the overall monitor volume using "Aux Send 1, 2" gain knobs on the right side of the board.  If you want to run the same mix to all of your monitors, just use Aux 1, and then daisy chain it from one powered speaker to the next (if your powered monitors have a signal out jack.  Otherwise, you will need to split the output using "Y" connectors.I run 4 powered monitor speakers on 2 Aux Buses (Aux 1 and Aux 2).  Aux 1 is for the front line of the band, so I wire from the Aux Send 1 jack to the Front Left monitor, then daisy-chain from that speaker to the front right speaker.  Aux 2 is for the rhythm section, so I wire from the Aux Send 2 jack to the Rear Left monitor, then daisy-chain from that speaker to the rear left monitor.I use a different monitor mix for front/back of the band because we sometimes use backing tracks, and I want these louder for the rhythm section, so they can stay sync'ed with the track.You could use all 4 Aux Sends so that each monitor had a different mix but  1) That gets really complicated to sound check, and  2)  Aux Send 3 is used for Effects, so using it as a monitor channel would mean you can't use the mixers effects.  and 3)  Aux Sends 3 and 4 are Post-Fader, which means they are affected by the channel fader, which means if you adjust the fader for the mains, say to bring up a vocalist, you are also bringing them up in Aux 3 and 4, which could mess up the on stage mix, and cause all kinds of havoc.Hope that helps.

**Q: Does it come with rack mount brackets?**
A: It does come with mounts

**Q: Do you know what kind of mixer rack case this will fit with the rack rails?**
A: This is what I have it installed in:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/odyssey-cxp1110w-carpeted-pro-combo-case-w-wheels?skuId=site1sku804787000000000

**Q: My USB out is only mono.  The manual is very unfriendly.  Help?**
A: Here's what the manual states:  The XENYX mixer line has built-in USB connectivity, allowing stereo signals to be sent to and from the mixer and a computer. The audio sent from the mixer to a computer is identical to the MAIN MIX. Audio being sent to the mixer from a computer can be routed to the main mix with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN button.  Connect the USB type B plug into the USB jack on the mixer, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. There are no required drivers, but we recommend that PC users install the included ASIO driver. The driver can also be downloaded from behringer.com.I don't know what OS you are using, but you might want to make sure that your computer is set up for stereo input/output via your preferences.  You could also check to see if you have the correct drivers installed from Behringer, and lastly, make sure you have the 2TR/USB to MAIN properly depress and you can also route it to a set of headphones via the SOURCE 2TR/USB.  Also not sure if this is what you are hearing through headphones or mains (?).  Are your main channels routed independently?  So when you say USB Out, is that from a stereo source or from the PA?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Behringer X2242USB
*by E***R on October 18, 2022*

For those that are familiar with Behringer- the X series mixers, this is a top of the line fantastic audio mixer. I took a moment to submix other mixers into this main one and it is a beaut! I have 3 sub mixers of keys & drums going to this and it’s incredible how it responds. Direct connection to use as an audio interface took me by surprise as its ultra loud and I did not expect myself utilizing an external audio interface just to control the volume but it’s alright. There is only L/R as an audio interface. I would recommend a UMC-404HD and you’ll get more versatility that way. Thank you Behringer for a great mixer.
