Four state-of-the-art XENYX Mic Preamps.

Add some outboard magic to your sound using the FX SEND.

Perfect for Small-Scale Applications
The 12-input, 2-bus XENYX 1202 has four XENYX mic preamps with +48 V phantom power, making it possible to use four dynamic or condenser microphones. The three-band British EQ ensures warm, musical sound every time. Simple, high-quality controls make it possible to create beautiful mixes with minimal technical expertise.

Play music between sets via the RCA CD/tape inputs (assignable to main mix or control room/phones outputs) and record your performance to an outboard recording device via the RCA outputs.

XENYX Preamps
The microphone channels feature high-end XENYX preamps that compare well with costly outboard preamps in terms of sound quality and dynamics, and boast the following features:

  • 130 dB dynamic range for plenty of headroom
  • A bandwidth ranging from below 10 Hz to over 200 kHz for nuanced reproduction
  • Low-noise, distortion-free circuitry for a transparent signal
  • Perfect for most any mic, with up to 60 dB of gain and a +48 volt phantom power supply

"British EQ"
The equalizers used for the XENYX series are based on the legendary circuitry of top-notch consoles made in Britain, which are renowned throughout the world for their warm and musical sound character. Even with extreme gain settings, these equalizers provide outstanding audio.

FX Send
Add some outboard digital magic to your sound using the FX SEND. Simply connect an outboard device to apply effects such as reverb or delay.

Each channel features a post-fader send for determining effect amount, and the FX to control room function helps you monitor effect signal via headphones and control room outputs.

Little Wonder
Weighing in at just 3 pounds (1.35 kg), the XENYX 1202 is the sleek, smart way to make a small performance with multiple vocalists sound like a high-budget affair. Keep it simple, or use your outboard effects collection to take it to another dimension. The XENYX 1202 is with you all the way.

Built to Last
The 1202's long-wearing 60-mm logarithmic-taper master fader and sealed rotary controls are great examples of Behringer's high-quality components. Rugged construction means you'll get a long life out of your board.
