Re: Looper's Little Mixers...



I Have the Xenyx-2222 and am not keen on it in terms of layyout, sound or 
master section. The knobs have little contrast from the pannel = not 
unlike 
Mackie CF desks -(which particularly matters to me because I'm partially 
sighted), I'm not keen on the channel EQ or preamps and the master section 
(in an attempt to be very inclusive) is over complicated in (I think) 
unuseful ways.

I wouldn't buy it again. I used to have the UB desk with 6mic channels 
(can't remember the model) and, whilst not at all as well featured, 
sounded 
more transparent than the (over-hyped) Xenyx. I have various Behringer 
products, some of which I've had for many years and have been totally 
reliable and I would replace without question (Composer, cable tester, 
various DI boxes) but not the Xenyx.

Ian.
