Behringer has announced the iX3242USB, iX2442USB and iX1642USB small-format mixers – each equipped with an iPad docking station.
The mixers directly interface with Apple’s iPad, drawing on the power of the ubiquitous device to lend processing to the Xenyx mixer line. Users can also sync performances to video through the iPad’s video out capability.
The innovative feature set of the new Xenyx iX Series USB mixers makes it possible to record and mix on a professional level through a built-in, stereo USB audio interface. Connect these mixers directly to a PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable to record any signal source connected to the mixer.
All iX mixers include the new dual-engine Klark Teknik FX processor with 32 editable, studio-grade presets, including reverb, chorus, flange, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. In addition to thousands of apps, the iX mixers use the iPad to control the Klark Teknik FX Processor App, enhancing the mix by allowing the user deep control of EQ’s, compressors and reverbs and a full spectrum analyser.
The iX series mixers also feature high-performance Xenyx mic preamps. Claiming comparison with more expensive, stand-alone mic preamps, Xenyx preamps offer 130dB dynamic range and a bandwidth from below 10Hz to 200kHz.
Xenyx mixers’ three-band channel EQ joins ‘one-knob’ compression on all mono channels.
‘The Xenyx iX mixers demonstrate the innovation that stems from our massive investment in Research & Development,’ says Mark Wilder, VP of Behringer Marketing Communications. ‘These are the first of many more ground-breaking products to be announced at Namm 2012.’
