Advantages: Cheap, Professional, Easy to use Disadvantages: None
Behringer has gained a deserved reputation amongst musicians on a budget for its ability to produce high-quality, low-price equipment that will rival the quality of the likes of brands such as Korg, whilst still letting you keep a roof over your head. The Xenyx 2442FX proves just that. At around £199.99 RRP, the model retails at half the price of it competitors. Yet it pains me that people still buy from companies such as Korg, Boss, and Casio - all that they are doing is buying the brand name. Behringer know that musicians often aren't made of money, which i find refreshing, and means that Behringer are amongst the brands i can trust.

BACKGROUND
-----------------------
I purchased this mixer because I wanted to produce a nice and professional podcast for my website. I'd had experience with Behringers UB1202 Mixer, which I used for mixing live vocals and acoustic guitars. It was ideal for outputting the mix to a PA and using the "Tape Out" to record the mix onto my laptop at the same time.
It was only when I came to purchase the same unit for my podcast, that I realised they'd upgraded their UB range to a XENYX range. The website proclaims "With close to one million units sold, the UB mixer series has become one of the most popular mixer series of all times that has no doubt connected musicians all over the world. Our new XENYXmixers will take you to an even higher plane". I though "Great, even better!", and purchased one right away ...
Advantages: BPM counter, Bass/Mid/Treble cut out/volume controls, nice and robust feel to it Disadvantages: I cant think of any!
I have owned this mixer for a couple of years now and it still works as well today as it did when it was new. Its a decent sized mixer and feels quite weighty and well made. The controls are nice and smooth and the cross fader is very responsive. There is a seperate control to adjust the sensitivity of the cross fader to help facilitate the users style of mixing. The mixer has 3 channels, each with 2 inputs. This allows for up to 6 pieces of kit to be attached to it. Personnaly, ive got my turntables, CD player and tape player going through it. There is also 2 outputs, one to go to the amplifier and another 'booth' output. I have connected the booth output to my PC so I can record both my mixes and also CD's or Tapes. This is great for saving them ever-fading 'old skool' tapes and burning to CD! There are 3 cut out switches ...
