The Behringer 1204 Xenyx mixer delivered next-generation Xenyx mic preamps — comparable in transparency and headroom to stand-alone boutique preamps — in a clean, 12-input analog format with neo-classic British-style 3-band EQ and no onboard effects to keep the signal path pure for engineers who preferred outboard processing.

Balanced line inputs, switchable +48 V phantom power, dedicated mono and stereo channels, separate control room, headphone and 2-track outputs and rugged metal construction made it a no-nonsense workhorse for studios, podcasters, churches and small live rigs that demanded clean gain at a fearless price.
