KLARK TEKNIK FX on All QX Models Nothing adds the finishing touch to a live or recorded performance like really good effects, so Behringer equipped the QX2442USB mixer with one of the best FX engines in the industry. Designed by the world-renowned KLARK TEKNIK engineering team, these high-end FX processors feature 32 studio-grade presets with dual addressable parameters, Tap function and storable user parameter settings. Complete with its own dedicated level meter, these effects provide a wide range of enhancement options, from sweet and mild to absolutely wild! Wireless Ready Performance This incredible mixer is also ‘wireless-ready’ right out of the box! Behringer’s new ULTRALINK ULM200USB (sold separately) features two high-quality 2.4 GHz wireless mics, plus a special 2-channel receiver dongle that connects directly to a dedicated input port on the top of the mixer. This technologic breakthrough makes for seamless wireless integration that is easier and more affordable than ever. What's a Compressor? Dynamic compression is a sound engineer’s best friend. Compression 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 more difficult than you might think. The QX2442USB’s ‘one-knob’ compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate. Now you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. Sonically Superior Mic Preamps All Behringer Xenyx mixers have one thing in common; great-sounding, high headroom Xenyx mic preamps. Xenyx preamps offer a staggering 130 dB of dynamic range with a bandwidth that extends from below 10 Hz to well above 200 kHz. As a result, the Xenyx QX2442USB mixer provides such transparent, crystal-clear performance that you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking. Sweet British EQ The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on Behringer’s Xenyx mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Recording Ready Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source connected to the mixer can be recorded straight to your hard drive! How About Some Free Software!
