Technological Recommendation Of The Day: Behringer Xenyx X1204 Audio Console For Your Radio Station (Good Advice)
Good evening once more, fellow HIVE users, radio ladies and gentlemen worldwide as well as dear readers from both HIVE and outside of it! For today's technological recommendation of the day, a brand new column here on my HIVE blog, I would like to share a great audio console that I've been relatively recently using at Radio USV as a radio presenter before I left in late October 2021, more specifically the Behringer Xenyx X1204 audio console model.
The Behringer Xenyx X1204 is a very good tool for those who want 100% panning experience at their working desk while being a radio presenter. These console has it all, more specifically 12 great volume channels, 60 mm fader, 4 microphone inputs with 75 Hz low cut, 3-band EQ, one-Knob compressor and switchable 48 V phantom power, internal 24-bit multi-effects unit with 16 presets, built-in USB sound card, 2 stereo inputs with 3-band EQ via jack, 2 AUX pre/post switchable, peak LED and mute switch on each channel, 2-track input and output via RCA, XLR main output, alt 3-4 Out with separate output via jack, stereo control room output via jack, and, last but not least, internal power supply (source for this technical description: Thomann).
It is, in my humble opinion, the perfect, affordable choice for any independent radio out there to start broadcasting. It is relatively cheap and light as well (given the fact that it only weighs 2.8 kilograms). down below I decided to share two particular screenshots of this product from Thomann that you can opt for, one standard and one with the case bundle. My additional advice is to go pro and choose the one with the case bundle, but only if you have the money for it, of course.
Therefore, that being said and without any further needless ado or unwanted spoilers on my behalf, I truly hope you will find this recommendation useful in your radio adventures. Take care, all the best, stay safe and warm during this winter, and have a great evening and a wonderful weekend! :)
