Behringer XENYX QX1832USB

Premium 18-Input 3/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps and Compressors, KLARK TEKNIK Multi-FX Processor, Wireless Option and USB/Audio Interface

Overview

The Behringer XENYX QX1832USB is a comprehensive, feature-rich 18-input analog mixing console designed to be the versatile heart of your live performance rig or home studio. Stepping up significantly in routing and tonal control, this mixer provides six studio-grade XENYX microphone preamps, ultra-musical "British" EQs with sweepable mids, and a 9-band stereo graphic EQ. Engineered for both serious live sound reinforcement and pristine recording, it features a built-in 2x2 USB audio interface for direct-to-DAW tracking. With high-end additions like a 24-bit KLARK TEKNIK multi-FX processor, an onboard FBQ Feedback Detection System, XPQ 3D surround sound, and a dedicated voice canceller, the QX1832USB offers unparalleled professional control and audio fidelity for bands, houses of worship, and project studios.

Models & Range

• Full Range Models: The QX1832USB occupies a strategic mid-to-large format footprint within the XENYX QX series. It is the ideal upgrade for users who need more microphone inputs, advanced aux routing, and master graphic EQ compared to the smaller QX1204USB, but do not yet require the massive channel count of the flagship QX2442USB.

Key Features

• Expanded Mic Inputs & Compression: Features six premium XENYX mic preamps delivering massive headroom and 130 dB of dynamic range, paired with six dedicated studio-grade one-knob compressors to instantly tame peaks on lead vocals, bass, or drums.
• Advanced Equalization & Feedback Control: Sculpt your main or monitor mix with the 9-band stereo graphic EQ, augmented by Behringer’s revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System that instantly reveals critical feedback frequencies for rapid elimination.
• KLARK TEKNIK FX Engine: Integrated 24-bit digital processor featuring a dual-parameter LCD display and 100 world-class presets including premium reverbs, choruses, delays, and pitch shifting.
• Vocal & Surround Enhancements: Includes a built-in Voice Canceller function for easy sing-along or karaoke applications, plus the XPQ 3D stereo surround effect for an enhanced, room-filling stereo image.
• Versatile 3/2-Bus Routing: Offers two subgroups with separate outputs for added routing flexibility, allowing you to group drums or background vocals to a single fader, plus three aux sends per channel for extensive monitor mixing and external effects processing.
• Wireless & USB Integration: "Wireless-ready" for Behringer's high-quality ULM digital wireless systems via a dedicated top-panel USB port, alongside a built-in class-compliant stereo USB audio interface for seamless Mac/PC recording.
