Depensheng DX12 DJ Sound Controller Interface w/USB Drive for Computer Recording 12-Channel Studio Audio Mixer - XLR Microphone Jack, 48V Power, RCA Input/Output for Professional and Beginners

The mixing board is an easy 5-star rating, especially given the price. I will make some comparisons to my last mixing board, a Yamaha MG10XU, a more expensive mixer.FIRST THE BAD:The MP3 player and Bluetooth functions can't be taken seriously and you should consider the board for it's function without these features.Perhaps the Bluetooth function can be used in-studio in a pinch, if one lacks the proper cables/adapter to listen to a Bluethtooth capable device, but in no way should it be considered for live use, not even a close friend's private party. The function introduces pops and clicks and unwanted noises that are impossible to ignore.The MP3 player couldn't be more of a disaster, both in intended use configuration and performance. Just see this section of the board as a decoration. You DO need an outside source to play MP3 files adequately.The built-in effects are "better than nothing" let's say. They should be considered as backup for a show in case your effects unit fails or someone forgets a cable, etc. That being said, one could learn them and ride the effects, song to song, section-to-section and get a pretty good live production, but nothing like having an effects unit and a patch preprogrammed for every song - matching the BPM, etc.I'm not going to even attempt connecting this to my computer to use as an interface as I reckon it would be a waist of time. Maybe I'm wrong. Read other reviews regarding using it as an audio interface.The knobs lack mass, are a little small and have a bit of a cheapness to them. I miss the knobs on my former mixer and other Mackie brand mixers I've had in the past.THE GOOD:The board sounds fantastic! Can't hear a bit of noise nor coloration of the sound. The Headphone Out also has a robust signal, unlike the 'thinned out' sound of the Yamaha MG10XU headphone out. All the sliders and knobs are clean sounding when adjusting levels, etc. The board is intuitive and easy to mix on.It doesn't heat up whatsoever after hours of use, unlike the Yamaha MG10XU, which used to worry me, how hot it would get, especially for having an external power supply. It's very sturdy and well made - better made than the pictures reveal.Whether good or bad, it's pretty big for a 12 channel board. There are no stereo channels, just 12 mono inputs. Every channel has a mic input and line input AND phantom power, truly making it more flexible in possible uses. This board is actually WELL suited to mix a large choir or even orchestra for live performance, though some may wince at this claim. (I could and get a great mix and sound.) So, if you are trying to impress, the large footprint is good, but if your desktop space is limited, this can't be considered a compact 12-channel board like the Yamaha MG10XU.Keeping in mind my above negative comments, I DO recommend the board and I would buy it again, if I had a free do-over. If you are a beginner or on a tight budget, like me, it's an excellent choice. When you are better financed you can buy a more expensive board if you think you need it and have this as a backup. Redundancy IS good!

I wanted a mixer and interface combine and I had no idea that the usb onbard was the interface. I was looking for the interface usb to be on the back. But technology is moving so fast and I went thru several Mixers and I really fell in love with the Baringer mixer-Usb interface but the drivers wouldnt load and therefore I couldnt use it for Zoom or record. So I realize I never had any problems with the Despuseng Interface and Ilow and behild I saw this Dx8 despuseng Mixer and I started tinkering with it and it just blows you you away once you figure what jin put jacks are balance or unbalanced and I tell you it has made my year. I just wish that it had Mute buttons for the input becasue alot of people start snoring when online and the Zoom app picks up everything when it inOriginal audio. I tried the P-12 Despuseng but the jack would not allow certain devices to play because they are unbalanced and i didn't want to buy more unbalanced cables/ I try to stay awy from the unbalanced cables due to noise. Plus it would not allow me to get the gain that the DX8 Despuseng did and its supposed to be a better Mixer but I sent that puppy back until I can really find the one I want with the same Jack setup. If you get the DX8,You will be satisfied once you learn what each jack and knob does. The Mic setup is easy and I have played with this thing everynight for a week and Im sold. God Bless America but the Chinese are on the ball with techology.

Just out of the box review. I was able to hook it up to a powered speaker and test every line, input and output. They all worked. No instructions on the Bluetooth and I could t get it to connect like some comments said, but that's fine because I will be using a wired connection to the board for music. So far so good. Will update after a couple months use.

Pasé de una consola beringher de 3 puertos a esta, y realmente ha valido cada peso, 8 puertos abren las posibilidades para tener más elementos en marcha el mismo tiempo, la ecualización funciona muy bien, hace su trabajo decentemente al controlar los bajos, medios y altos.He usado los 4 puertos de salida pasiva a los parlantes u otros dispositivos y realmente me agrada tener la posibilidad de contar con tantas opciones de salida del sonido, sin contar los puertos auxiliares, que son ideales para monitorear o hacer transferencia de mesclas paralela según la necesidad del usuario, el cable de poder resulta mas corto de lo que me gustaría, pero bueno, no es un problema grave.El bluetooth es un complemento importante que ha funcionado muy bien, a distancias decentes y sin interferencias, puedes poner música o audios desde tu pc o tu teléfono.Para transferir el audio desde la consola a mi pc usé inicialmente el puerto USB, sin embargo había un ruido blanco de base que no pude eliminar, así que opté por capturar el sonido desde la consola a través de uno de los puertos de salida de 1/4 con un adaptador adicional a mi pc, tal vez es la consola, o que no contaba con una conexión apropiada a tierra en ese momento, sin embargo con esta segunda conexión todo resultó muy bien, sin ruido de fondo que resultara molesto.Es una buena consola, con muchos puertos y buen abanico de ecualización y sensación de control y botones aceptable, no probé los afectos, no son relevantes para mi.Recomendada

Good sound

It showed up 5 mins ago with stickers on it from previous owner I think? And charger was tangled up and not tied up as it would be if it was new. I’m going to test and if it works I will keep it but most likely will be returning. Certainly not a new item I think these are refurbished units

Son loves this he said very nice!
