most importantly impact the drivers’ performance. BEHRINGER has gone the extra
mile, driving each woofer and tweeter with a separate amplifier for absolute
signal integrity.

FBQ Master of Tone
Our proprietary 7-band FBQ-equipped graphic equalizer is the ultimate tool for quickly and easily EQ’ing your keyboards and vocals. The entire audio spectrum from below 63 Hz to above 16 kHz is covered, and each of these frequency bands provide a healthy 12 dB boost or cut to help you sculpt the perfect sound. Special attention has been paid to the critical midrange frequencies, which can make or break your tone. Plus, when you engage the FBQ switch, you can physically see which frequency bands are contributing the most to the output signal content. So even if you’re not an audio engineer, you can see what’s going on with your sound and then make the necessary EQ adjustments with confidence and ease!
FBQ – Totally Feedback-Free
For more than 20 years, BEHRINGER has designed and manufactured some of the most successful FBQ Feedback Elimination processors. Now you can own and enjoy the benefits of this technology, as we have integrated the revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System in this product, so your sound system is completely feedback-free, allowing you to focus on your performance. Utilizing an ultra- fast feedback detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. When feedback is sensed in a specific frequency range, the LED on the associated EQ fader illuminates, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome the feedback. That simple!
Channel Your Sound
The KXD12 gives you 4 independent stereo channels, each with separate Volume and FX Send controls, plus an additional XLR mic input on Channel 1 for the direct connection of a dynamic microphone. So, if you’re the kind of keyboardist or drummer with multiple instruments at your disposal, the KXD12 is ready to handle up to 4 independent signals. It is also ideal for use as an all-inone solution for keys and vocal applications.
The Master Section provides separate controls for FX Return, Master Volume and
Phones. A stereo Aux Input allows you to play recorded music through the KXD12
during performance breaks, or for just playing along. A separate headphone
output is provided for quiet practicing, plus a balanced stereo XLR DI output
with Ground Lift, for direct recording or connecting to an existing PA system.
The Link Output allows you to add a second KXD12 with a single mic cable,
creating a versatile 1200Watt portable stereo PA system.
