Behringer XENYX QX1204USB Analog Mixer mit seinem eigens dafür hergestellten Koffer. Neupreis. 248€
This is a mature, established model rather than a current-generation piece, so timing mostly matters in the sense that you’re buying proven functionality, not chasing the newest feature set. At €180, it sits above the listed median of €129 and well above the 75th percentile of €216 only if you factor in condition and local demand; on the database anchor alone, it reads as a touch ambitious rather than a steal.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual XENYX appeal: four mic preamps, onboard compression, built-in USB, and onboard effects make it a very flexible small-format mixer for live use, rehearsals, podcasting, or basic home recording. The excellent condition tag helps, and if it’s truly clean with PSU and no noisy pots or scratchy channels, it can still be a sensible buy for someone who values convenience and feature density over chasing the cheapest possible used desk.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.
The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.
Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
