Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, the XENYX XL1600 provides such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren’t looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British consoles of the 1960s and ‘70s changed the sound of rock and roll – without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on your XENYX XL1600 mixer is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. The mono channels of the XL1600 feature 4-band EQs with 2 semi-parametric mid bands for warm and musical sound; even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
