Looking for a versatile line/mic mixer that fits in a rack AND eliminates the need for tons of outboard gear? The 12-channel RX1202FX is not only rack mountable, but comes loaded with a 24-bit multi-FX processor and 8 built-in studio-grade IMP “invisible” mic preamps. This mixer works perfectly for small bands or churches, business conferences with both microphone and A/V equipment as well as sub-mixing keyboards, drums, samplers or multiple vocal mics. It’s also the ideal choice for monitoring multi-track recording projects.
Channel Some Serious Mojo
Sometimes you feel like a mic…or a sampler…or a drum machine. Sometimes you don’t. Whatever the situation calls for, the RX1202FX is ready to accommodate. Each mono channel (1-8) features an XLR input, a balanced 1/4″ mono input and an INSERT jack for patching external signal processors directly into the channel. Mono channels feature a TRIM control and CLIP LED to adjust the input gain; a two-band EQ (HIGH, MID and LOW controls); FX control to determine how much of an effect to apply to the channel; a PAN control; and a smooth 60mm fader to determine the channel’s level in the mix. Stereo channels (9-12) feature left and right balanced line level 1/4″ inputs and the same front panel control as their mono counterparts. And, as mentioned above, they can be used as mono inputs themselves.
Taking Control
Smooth 60 mm faders and intuitive rotary dials make it quick and simple to create a killer mix. The MAIN MIX fader adjusts the volume of the main output signal while the dual 4-segment LED ladder display gives a visual representation of the signal level. The PHONES jack features a dedicated PHONES/ CONTROL ROOM dial for adjusting headphone volume. Push CD/TAPE TO MIX to add backing tracks from an MP3 or CD player, or to isolate a click track or scratch track in headphones while recording.
On the back panel, the LEFT and RIGHT MAIN OUT XLR jacks can be used to feed a recording device or PA system. For live performances, keep pre-recorded music cued up for between-set breaks by connecting a CD player or MP3 player via the stereo CD/TAPE IN jacks. If the band wants a recording of their performance, send signal to a recording device such as a mini-disc recorder via the CD/TAPE OUT jacks. Use the MON AUX SEND to send signal to floor monitors in a live setting, or to a headphone amp in a recording setting. When it’s time for playback of recorded material, send signal to studio monitors through the CTRL OUT jack.
If a recording session or live performance calls for an effect not programmed in the onboard FX processor, send signal to an outboard effects unit via the FX AUX SEND, then feed the signal back to the RX1202FX through the AUX RETURN jacks.
Effects, Effortlessly
The FX/CTRL section puts sophisticated digital effects at your fingertips. Use the PROGRAM dial to scroll through the effect presets, then use the FX TO MAIN dial to govern how much of the effect is heard in the summed signal of the mixer. Push FX SOLO to hear only the effects signal in your monitors or headphones.
Superior Sound, Unparalleled Value
It’s nearly impossible to find a rack-mountable mixer loaded with the inputs, mic preamps and digital effects found in the RX1202FX. And with a price tag that’s well below what you would pay to purchase all these tools separately, the RX1202FX is the smartest way to make your studio, live band, church or conference sound like a million bucks.

It fit the bill, but there are drawbacks…First and Foremost, this unit works perfectly, functions as designed, and was packaged well. It is 3 rack space and fit into the 3 rack space opening I had.Cons: That being said, I did my first gig with this. Basically the customer needed an announcing PA and wanted a live music for lunchtime. Again, while it functions perfectly, the drawback was that the channels DO NOT have mute buttons. If you need to pull a channel out of the Main mix and the monitor Mix, you need to pull the fader totally off and turndown the monitor pot. Both. Then you need to remember where you had them in the mix when you bring them back. A mute button would have made this much better. While this is not a deal breaker for me, it would be most convenient if mute buttons would be incorporated.Pros: While I’m not a Behringer fan, this units performance was good. The mic pre’s have good headroom. The digital effects unit built in was adequate for the task. This mixer did make my small venue system self contained. I just plug in power, plug in speakers, and plug in Mic’s/Lines and I’m up and running. From that standpoint, it does what I needed. It does perform better than expected.The inconvenience of the mutes was enough to put this at 4 stars. But it does work well other than that.

originally purchased to use as a sub mixer for my drums (will try that this weekend) and if it performs as well as it did for vocals i will be very satisfied..2 gigs as a PA (*using Behringer powered speakers) performed as expected…simple, compact, and the effects were quite suitable for both vocals and acoustic guitars…durability is still to be determined…originally purchased to use as a sub mixer for my drums (will try that this weekend) and if it performs as well as it did for vocals i will be very satisfied…reasonably priced, and frankly, impressive (cost / benefit…there are better mixers yes, but this seems to meet my needs)

Behringer Rack MixerI bought this as a simple control room mixer for my new voice-over studio. I needed something compact and shallow in depth in order to fit my current mixing desk. It is used mostly for control room monitoring/playback and to feed a push-to-talk system to my voice-booth. I would’ve liked it better if it would have included individual channel mute buttons, but I knew that going in, so I can’t really fault Behringer for that here. It’s very quiet, everything works, it seems well-built, and it fits the physical requirements of my new system.I own several Behringer products that I have had a good experience with for many years. We’ve all read some of the bad reviews that company has received, but all I can say here is that I’m very happy with this purchase.

Good sound quality, and lots of inputs. The one negative is that the power button is located in the back of the unit, thus when installed in a rack, the switch is not easily accessible.

Good board, I like itIf I had one wish – it would be a mute for all channels – but good rack mixer – I use it in my live web streaming rack gear

I was skeptical, but it’s been great so farAlways nervous about Behringer quality, but it’s worked perfectly so far. I use it for mixing several mic’s for a drumset and adding some effects. Hopefully it lasts forever!

Behringer, you have failed me!I hate that I have to drop my rating. I started using the Eurorack because of its 3u format. The first 4 that I owned were fantastic. Granted, like many of Behringer’s products, being economically priced you may need to make a return to get a “perfect” product, but overall the savings compensated for this inconvenience.I bought a new board in August to replace a set of equipment that was stolen. The unit immediately produced a humming sound. I did the basic trouble shooting that might fix the issue without voiding warranty, but it persisted. This one was one to return and swap.Between a combination of boards purchased at a local retailer and those from Amazon, I wound up the 5 units and finally wound up with one with LESS “hum” than the others. Once the volume was up A LOT it could drown out the interference.It has not been 4 months since this board was put into commission and the interference had grown to the point of shameful. It seems that the quality control for this product is no longer a concern to Behringer.I will now be looking into other options. I hope that your experience is not like mine and wish you well in your sound adventures.Jeremiah BowenLive Circuit Karaoke and EntertainmentSince 2003UPDATE…. ALLEN AND HEATH! Even though i had to change the format, the sound is amazing!

PERFECT small gig or monitor mixerThis is exactly what we needed for a compact mixer. We used it as a monitor mixer and chain the mic signals to the main board. This thing feeds our in ears and gives us great sound in a tiny space with minimal mess. Sound is excellent and for the price there really isn’t anything like it. This is the third Behringer mixer I’ve bought in a pinch and the third time I’ve been extremely happy.
