Proel MQ1222X 12 Channel Analog Mixer

The Proel MQ1222X is a compact 12 channel analogue mixer designed to deliver professional performance in a portable, easy to use format. With high quality mic preamps, onboard 24 bit digital effects, integrated Bluetooth and USB audio, it is a powerful all in one solution for bands, solo performers, small venues and installations that need reliable, great sounding mixing without a complex setup.

Part of Proel's next generation MQ X range, the MQ1222X combines Italian engineering with a thoughtful feature set that suits both live sound and basic recording. Intelligent one knob compression on the mono channels keeps vocals and instruments under control, while flexible routing, stereo groups and smooth 45 mm faders give you precise control over your mix in any situation.

Compact Mixer, Big System Capability

Despite its small footprint, the MQ1222X offers 12 total inputs, including 6 high quality mic preamps for clear, transparent sound. This makes it ideal for typical band line ups, corporate events or worship settings where you need multiple microphones and stereo sources in a compact space. The combination of mono and stereo channels lets you handle everything from vocal mics and acoustic instruments to keyboards, playback devices and more, all from one tidy desktop console.

Integrated Digital Effects and Media Player

A built in 24 bit DSP engine provides 99 studio style effects, from reverbs and delays to modulation, all easily selected and adjusted via the LCD display and control dial. This means you can add polish to vocals and instruments without carrying extra outboard gear. The integrated MP3 player and media section offers playback via Bluetooth, USB key (USB A) or direct PC connection (USB C), making it simple to run backing tracks, interval music or presentations straight from the mixer.

USB Audio Interface for Easy Recording

The MQ1222X doubles as a USB audio interface, allowing you to send your mix directly to a computer over USB for straightforward recording or streaming. With 24 bit, 48 kHz A D and D A converters, your audio is captured with clarity and detail. This makes the mixer a practical hub for home studios, rehearsal recordings, podcasting or live streaming, without the need for a separate interface.

Rugged and Ready for the Road

Built into an ultra robust enclosure, the MQ1222X is designed to withstand regular transport and everyday use. The smooth response 45 mm faders and solid feeling controls give you confidence during shows, while the universal 110 240 V power supply means it is ready for use in a wide range of environments. Optional padded bags and rackmount kits are available from Proel for users who need additional mounting or transport options.
