Behringer XENYX 1222FX Mixer
If you're looking at buying an active PA speaker system & you want a small, great value desk to go with the speakers then you really should take a look at the Behringer Xenyx 1222FX & the Xenyx 1832FX. Both these mixers have got built in FX & a built in Graphic EQ - these features are essential for a good live PA system. If you buy a mixer without these features then sooner or later you're probably going to have to buy separate FX & Graphic EQ products & that means more gear to lug about, which defeats the object of going for a portable active PA system!! The Xenyx 1222FX has 12 channels (max 6 mics) & the 1832FX version has 14 channels (max 6 mics) plus a few extra knobs & buttons (see below for more details). Despite their feature packed specification, both mixers are really compact - ideal for solo/duo or small bands. We highly recommend these mixers for any of the Behringer, Yamaha or Mackie powered PA speakers. The Xenyx Mixers also double up as great mixers for your home studio - they've even got a USB out put on them, so you can plug straight into your PC & start recording the band!!
