Great Piece of Kit
FC Music 15.07.2019
Home Studio use only.
Handling: After a bit of practice it is very easy to get it to do exactly what you require. In my case I feed the direct outs and subs into my 16 Ch audio interface. I have it also set up via patch bay each way send/return to DAW/Mixer and back. Additionally I have inserts and returns from various outboard units. The comprehensive configuration possibilities of this mixer allow me to do this and for the price no other mixer can match it's signal routing capability. The Klark Teknik effects are excellent especially the digital reverb which outclasses my Polara by a wide margin. Audio is crystal clear, eq works well. I have not calibrated the compression yet but will do so against various plug-ins in Cubase. Even though I'm still exploring it's extensive possibilities at this stage I feel it is an excellent investment for my set up: 8 synths/drum machines, electric and acoustic guitars and vocals and two PC's.
Pros:
Signal Routing is very brilliantly conceived and executed
Effects are very good to excellent with tap tempo and BPM
Ease of use (after you get used to balancing sends/returns)
Sound quality is without any noise at all (unless you have a ground loop or there is a problem with your sound modules or other external factor)
The BIG Surprise: The pre-amps used for recording acoustic guitars and vocals are extremely clear with plenty of headroom, they are neutral in terms of colouring but I like that.
Value for money: no other mixer comes close in this class.
Quality: All knobs and faders are tight and without play except for the control room volume pot which has a very slight amount of give (it would have gotten 5 stars if it were not for this)

Cons
The manual is rubbish.
No rack ears even though it has the same footprint as the slightly cheaper variant without the Klark Teknik effects which has a rack mount kit included

Would I recommend this unit: Yes (it's €400 cheaper than the closest Mackie or Soundcraft rival with no compromises other than the Brand name and I couldn't care less about that)

Sensitive inputs
Kaplamas 15.03.2022
Channel 8 "burned" after a clean synth signal went through. It's inputs are quite sensitive with the low end. Handle with care.
Overall great. Bought it as a through/post fader/eq thing to use for multitracking and it dies the job well thanks to the direct outs and sub outs.
Bard in mind though that he subs outs are 4, not 8. They are 4 "doubled" signals not 4 stereo ones. Still cool.

Excellent mixer. Its USB interface allows for a clean recording.
Sancs 06.01.2022
Initially I bought Behringer Xenyx X2442 USB. That model was similar to the one assessed here (Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB) but had an issue with noise over its USB connection while recording on the PC. Thomann's personnel was kind to send me a replacement one. But this had the same issue (only at a different frequency of the noise signal). Then one of Thomann's sales advisors proposed me to get the Xenyx QX2442USB. This was and is a great solution as, besides its great functionality and quality as a mixer, it allows for USB recordings with no noticeable noise.

About as much bang for your buck as you will get!
Rev Gav 24.11.2021
Superb little mixer. The quality of the faders isn't as nice as say a Mackie or Allen+Heath, but in terms of functionality it's great.

Be warned - you can't route the digital in back through the mixer and through the digital out - which was something we wanted to do - but could do using patch cables from the Control Room Outs to the input channels!

The compressors are subtle and very good. The FX are clean and great. Love the fact that you have three bus mixes - e.g. one for foldback, one for broadcast, one for live (if that's your thing).

Not a seriously heavy-duty piece of kit. I wouldn't want to be lugging it from gig to gig, but for home/church use where it stays in one spot - fine.

Very, very, good value for money.
